The folks at Gaia Industries have just announced that starting this weekend they will be holding a series of random feeder tournaments for their recently released Street Trace:NYC.

Called "Out-Trace the Developers", the tournaments will be launched by developers who worked on the game using the Gamertag "StreetTraceNYC". At seven random times throughout the month of September, they will host and join Long and Medium Player Cash Tournaments. If you happen to win one of these tournaments, you'll win a t-shirt as well as entry to the big tournament where the winner takes home a pretty cool looking trophy.

This isn't the first time that a developer has offered the chance to bring home some hardware. The Behemoth offered trophies to those on top of the leaderboards. That doesn't change the fact that Gaia seems to be very adamant about supporting the game and its community, which can only be a good thing.

You can checkout all the details on the official site.

[url=http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/16/alien-hominid-invades-next-week-no-online-co-op/]Xbox 360 Fanboy[/url] has discovered via forum goers on [url=http://forums.360arcadians.net/viewtopic.php?t=773&start=725]360 Arcadians[/url] that the [url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/a/alienhominidxboxlivearcade/default.htm]official Alien Hominid Xbox.com[/url] page has gone live. This appearance doesn't say much about the release date in and of itself due to a TBA release date; however, when similiar situations have occurred in the past it has pointed to that game being the next release. I put my money on a high probability of this happening. What do you think? Will the game be released next week?

Update: Sorry, I forgot to mention this. The page used to be linked to from Xbox.com as an upcoming title but has since been removed. The page remains though.
