The World Cup is in full swing and fans everywhere are happily soaking in all the action and really getting into the spirit -- and in the case of some video games, holding special events. Among the games doing just that is Heavy Metal Machines. The game's developer Hoplon announced a special World Cup themed event today -- The Heavy Metal Cup.
During the event, players will be able to obtain items and skins. Once acquired, these items will be the player's forever, but they can only be earned or purchased during the event. The items include:
