Dark Void: New Game with Tesla, Jetpacks

During one of my frequent Google News searches for the terms "tesla" or "tesla motors", I happened upon this article from http://games.venturebeat.com about a startup studio called Airtight Games and their initial offering, Dark Void.

The article explains that Dark Void's story line centers around a pilot getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle and somehow linking up with Nikola Tesla to fly jetpacks and battle extraterrestrials. If the whole Tesla-Triangle thing isn't quite enough to convince you that this game is clearly going to rule, check out the graphics on the teaser/trailer site:

According to the Wikipedia entry for Dark Void, the game will come out for the 360, PS3 and Windows on Jan 12, 2010.

My 2008 Tesla Roadster

Would you believe they're selling these at Safeway now? As awesome as that would be, the harsh truth is that this is a Hot Wheels from Malaysia, and without some combination of Indian In The Cupboard and Honey I Shrunk the Kids technologies I won't be cruising around in it any time soon.

Still, it is pretty cool to be able to pick up a tiny replica of a Tesla Roadster. I am keeping my eyes out for one in Electric Blue, since that would probably be my colour in a full-scale model, should I ever be lucky enough to own one.
