This week, KontrolFreek announced worldwide availability of its latest controller accessory, Speed Freek APEX, designed to lock in better car handling, generate faster lap times and exploit the car’s performance to the max on Forza Motorsport 4, which will launch October 11. Designed with a patented “U” shaped controller attachment and tailored to provide extra thumb grip, the updated design allows players to take longer turns with ease as Speed Freek APEX enables the player to keep up on any track or terrain at high velocity.

Speed Freek APEX features:

• New and improved version of the Speed Freek for all racing games
• “U” shaped design prevents thumbs from slipping and reduces thumb fatigue
• Makes accurate and precise movements simpler
• Each package comes with 1 Speed Freek Apex and an extension adapter
• Extension adapter raises height and increases sensitivity for sharp turns and quick maneuvering
• Tournament Legal
• Also works well with racing games and simulators including Gran Turismo, Need for Speed, Burnout, F1, Blur, Forza 4 and many more
• Available for $9.99 USD online and in Microsoft stores

Is it Friday already?  Tuesday’s release of Forza Motorsport 3 has already kept our Xbox’s humming all week.  With 400+ cars and over 100 tracks, it’s no surprise, really.  And if that wasn’t  enough, developer Turn 10 also brought back the fantastic paint shop for creating your own custom liveries that you can show-off (or sell) to the world using the new storefront and overhauled auction house.  So, yeah—there may be no rest for that little, white space heater any time soon.  

Oh, and speaking of creating your own custom liveries, one of our good friends, Donnie created the sweet ride you see above.  Now that’s showing your KF love!

KontrolFreek wants you to put your creativity to the test.  Do you have a handle on Forza Motorsport 3’s creation tools?  Do you think you can design a better “KontrolFreek” themed custom car?  There may be something cool in it for you if you can…

So stop trying to replicate that silly anime character and get going already!

With a wallet-draining mess of sequels coming out between now and the end of the year, you could say that 2009 is set to be yet another “year of the sequel.”  Now, we know that all of these top-tier games are probably going to be great—and we’d love to have them all.  But since many of our wallets are looking a bit thin these days, buying them all is going to be a problem (unless that plan to win the lottery finally works out).  So, if you could afford to buy only ONE of these games, which one would it be?
