Atari and Eden have released a Lexus car pack for the Xbox 360 version of Test Drive Unlimited, featuring the incredibly hot Lexus GS 450h hybrid sports sedan. The pack is free via Xbox Live and also features the Lexus LS 460 luxury sedan model. For those Xbox 360 owners who haven’t yet tried Test Drive Unlimited, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s certainly not the greatest racer of all time, but the persistent atmosphere and recreation of Oahu are more than worth it.

Watch the video, complete with track from They Might Be Giants, after the jump..

Before the internet, kids would run to their newstands every month to grab their favorite comic books and video game magazines to see pages and pages of the newest video game news. Hoping to scoop their friends, they’d read through the whole thing on the way home and run to the phone or their neighbour’s house just to show off the newest Atari or Activision title. Those were the days, at least I think so, It’s all a bit hazy for me. But thanks to the internet many of us can re-live those fond memories. Super Flickr user Scrubbles has compiled a small, but hot, gallery of scanned vintage video game advertisements, dating back to 1982, actually featuring some ads I remember kicking around some of mine and my brother’s magazines, which we had lying all over the house.
