Burnout Paradise
Studio: EA Criterion

Let me just say to Criterion that I forgive you.  I forgive you for getting on stage to announce your love for the PS3 and the fact that Burnout Paradise’s lead development platform was the PS3.  I forgive you for one reason.  Because the game is a bonafied adrenaline rush!  It’s 60 FPS (frames per second) of rage and speed on both platforms.

Burnout Paradise is an open world this time around so that you can play the game your way.  You can free roam it or engage any number of challenges by pressing both triggers at any stop light in the game.  They’ve also included a funny little feature with the camera functions of both platforms.  When you lose or win a race, you can snap a photo of yourself and the reaction you’ve made by getting owned or doing the owning.

They’ve added a nice online invite feature this time around that allows you to play with friends at any time.  They can join you right in the game without having to go to any menu screen. 

Don’t worry about the crash junctions.  Although they couldn’t speak on it, rest assured you’ll be crashing again for massive destruction and points.
