Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

A few weeks back, you might remember THQ and Volition announcing that they were putting on a contest to give one lucky winner a “Rim Job at E3″.  Yes, laugh it up a bit with the double entandre, but today, a winner was announced and it was Enrique Trinidad of Henderson, NV.  Enrique will get his Honda Civic completely redone, with a Saints Row themed paint job, flat screen TV and Xbox in the trunk, and a new customized interior.  Sounds pretty sweet if you are a fan of the series, or get kicked out of the house when the wife looks at the new paint job.

Also, THQ will be sponsoring free parking across the street from the Staples Center for attendees of E3, and the first 50 cars that show up each day will get a free car wash and VIP valet parking.  No word on the hours that the car park will be open, but free is always nice for those that do not want to get gouged on parking, or are lazy and never wash their car (not pointing any fingers at me right now I hope).

Saints Row: The Third is set for release this fall on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 from THQ and Volition.
