IGN has a lengthy preview of Psyonix's Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. There are also a number of nice new screenshots of this upcoming PS3 title. Here they divulge DLC plans, custom soundtracks, and uploadable replay videos.

Seven cars and only three levels may seem like slim pickings, but Psyonix has already embraced the idea of future downloadable content, and those seven cars (with designs ranging from something that looks like a steampunk submarine to a monster struck with a huge rocket on back) have two different skins each. To this end, they've already got another full level to release post-launch for free. DLC is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to fancy-schmancy features, however; SARPBC may well be the first game we've seen to completely embrace all the features of firmware 2.41. Custom soundtracks, played through the XMB, are supported (which means playlists are supported too), as are Trophies (half earned for single-player stuff, half for online matches), as is YouTube-uploaded or XMB-saved video.

ModDB has posted its review of Killing Floor for Unreal Tournament 2004, awarding it an 8.5/10.

Overall Killing Floor 2.5 is a truly great mod topped with a great community of players and modders. There are a few small bugs and one or two annoying areas in the maps but if you are a budding zombie lover with a dusty copy of UT2K4 on your shelf, its really worthwhile trying out this mod.
