The result of this partnership ensures you'll be gawking at Puma ads throughout Forza 3 and guarantees Puma driver Natacha Gachnang will be the face of the game across Europe.

The partnership will even extend beyond the game, helping to create a Forza 3-branded Puma shoe and enveloping employees who are demonstrating Forza 3 at special promotional events leading up until its October 27 release in - you guessed it! - Puma gear. We think that's kind of good thing though, because the last time we saw the game it was tough to understand the publicists through those big driving helmets they all had on.

You might think that something called dress is all about frills, plunging necklines and eating disorders, but that's really only half the story. There's more to the modestly named paid service from Japan, including some rather odd yet somehow relevant mini-game tie-ins (you know, stuff that actual gamers care about). And from the looks of things, there's only going to be more coming.

So, dress in a nutshell is part fashion sim, part clothing ad and part mini-game collection. It's an interesting mix to say the least; however, after having "played" with it for awhile, it's a combination that just doesn't seem to work. In retrospect, it's still very much a young service which will be expanding with new content as time goes by, though there are still so many missing elements to this service that could've made it a great addition to something like Home. All in all, it's one great experiment and we're interested in the concept of this unique collaborative effort. Hopefully you're still with us on this and reading on to find out more as we go inside dress. That ... that doesn't sound right.

One would assume anything named dress would at least involve a dress, but not so in this case, at least not yet. Announced late last year, dress is an "interactive fashion magazine" that will allow fashionistas to check out the latest apparel from real designers. What differentiates dress from more traditional publications is that it will contain "true to life representation of fashion models" and will also "simulate all fabrics and color options" for each piece of clothing and allow users to combine them. Eventually, it will even allow budding fashion designers the share their creations via the PSN and host virtual runway shows.

The first collaboration was announced at Pitti Uomo, the annual menswear trade show held in Florence, with PUMA by Mihara Yasuhiro. The designer thinks dress "fits the innovative PUMA by Mihara Yasuhiro philosophy." Yasuhiro's inspiration for this season? "Global warming and the dramatic effect it is having on our planet." Some of his creations are shown at his website and you can actually buy pieces from the collection at flagship PUMA stores in major cities. What do you guys think? Is there an audience for this? Is this the beginning of "lifestyle gaming", casual gaming's more mature cousin?

If it isn't obvious, I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession over Gitaroo-Man, the first music game from iNiS. The lovable music game featured the titular hero and a biting sidekick, Puma. Thanks to the efforts of one Nick Hayes, you'll be able to build your own papercraft version of Puma in incredible, high-definition, 3D life. You won't need to learn any black magicks: all you need is this printout, a pair of scissors, some glue and (optionally) a dime. Download the PDF cutout here.

With the recent release of super high-res screenshots of Halo 3, you can see lots and lots of detail ... including an easter egg. If you look closely at the image above you'll see on the inside of the warthog tire the text "PUMA", an obvious reference to those silly guys over at Red vs Blue. Now you can see why we're going to be rocking Halo 3 in high definition 720p ... to read the text on the tires.

Sony and Puma have teamed up to bring you some new PSP gear. While these accessories may match your Puma wardrobe, the luxury will come at a hefty price. The above bag costs a whopping 7140 yen, which is more than the cost of 3 Greatest Hits titles in the US. Ouch. But if you have the cash to get a Signature Edition PSP or a PlayStation 3, I think Sony's betting you'll have the cash to afford these accessories too. I mean, this is living, right?
