Free Game Fuel and Pontiac downloads
There are a few free theme and gamer picture downloads for our US and Canadian fanboys this weekend with both Mountain Dew and Pontiac offering up retail tie-in content. Available to US Xbox Live members is a free Mountain Dew Game Fuel gamer picture and theme and even though the theme is rather lame (same picture for every blade ... come on!) the gamer picture is quite sweet. Canadian Live members can download a Pontiac theme, picture pack and the week four Drive Fast gamer picture too. All downloads are free and should make you thirsty and ready to purchase a new vehicle within' the next five minutes.Video: Halo 3 Game Fuel commercial

The X3F Halo 3 Game Fuel taste test
Just this morning, a promotional case of Halo 3 Mountain Dew Game Fuel arrived at Fanboy Towers. The box stood alone on the front step, the delivery man out of sight. We can only assume he was eaten by the X3F guard bear, Toby. Such has become the fate of many delivery men (and yet not one mailman; those guys are metal). We cracked open the case to find two cans of the stuff nestled inside. Though our desire to sample it was ferocious, we wouldn't dream of our first taste being warm. Oh no, it had to be cold, so cold it might have been frozen by the Devil's wings in the 9th circle of Hell itself. So, we put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Finally, the moment of truth arrived. We cracked it open and ... it was sweet. Damned sweet. Drinking Halo 3 Game Fuel is, to put it simply, like drinking a Pixy Stick. Whether that is good or bad is completely up to interpretation.
The soda has more caffeine than regular Mountain Dew, and we definitely feel edgier than we did before drinking the soda. We're not quite sure that's the sort of "edge" it's supposed to give us, but we digress. Should you desire some Halo 3 flavored Mountain Dew, it should start hitting stores next week, though we've received reports that it's already available in some areas. If you manage to wrangle some for yourself, feel free to share your opinion here.

Halo 3 Dew "Game Fuel" available August 13th
Game Fuel Dew is really, really expensive
The mysterious and oh so refreshing Halo 3 Game Fuel Mountain Dew that we saw at last week's LA event has hit eBay and is fetching a pretty high price tag. Up for auction is one can of limited edition Halo 3 Mountain Dew featuring Master Chief's handsome mug and is currently sitting at $20 or roughly $2 a sip.Yes, it is one expensive can of Dew, but it has yet to be opened, so that should add some value ... right? Or you could be money-smart, wait until the Halo 3 Dew hits retailers later this August, and for the same price you can buy a few cases to share with your friends. We're going to go with option two.

Halo 3 Dew coming in August [update 1]
The marketing machine is shifting into first gear this August with the release of a Halo 3 branded Mountain Dew called Game Fuel. Advertising Age dug up some news on this "limited edition" drink, finding that its Brute plasma rifle red contents are packed with more caffeine than regular Dew to keep you awake during those long gaming sessions. This supposedly cherry citrus Halo 3 Mountain Dew will only be available for three months, so stock up when August comes around.
Update 1: Check out more Halo 3 Dew photos over at Lamma's Game Console forums.
