It weighs in at a hefty 1.31GB, but that's probably because it lets you try out multiple racing events, and has some real fancy lighting. As well as looking lovely, Hot Import Nights will raise customization levels to Fast Car subscriber levels, offer more varied courses, enhanced physics and online play. Don't take THQ's word ...

The Hollywood-based publisher that's using $400 million in private equity money to exclusively do games based on movie, TV and music licenses has lost its president Nicholas Longano. A Brash rep confirmed that he has "exited" the company after I heard the news from several sources.
