PC manufacturer Alienware has joined forces with Intel to develop a web-based game called Hyperblast.
"...a scintillating, sci-fi themed web game.... Hyperblast lets players race and blast their way through a virtual, 3-D space track to win some stunning prizes", we're informed.
See the word 'prizes' there? Well, there's stuff up for grabs for elite Hyperblast-ians, including an Area-51 m9750 gaming notebook that would apparently set you back two grand.
"Hyperblast provides three different futuristic tracks on which players must race against tenacious AI drones", Alienware further explains. "Tactically the player may avoid enemy drones for an optimum lap time or use one of several power-ups available to destroy the opposition for bonus points."
Hyperblast requires Adobe Flash 9 and is compatible with all major web browsers.
