Before we hop into today's subject, I need to take a moment to clear house and respond to some comments that have been left. For Tim of Bookish Tuesday, I have not read any of the online graphic novels for Heroes, I was really disappointed by the end of Season 1 and Season 2 never really caught up to the best stuff within Season 1. It's not that I think Season 2 is really that bad, I just haven't watched it since it was originally on air and I'll agree that it is probably not as bad as I originally claimed, but I don't really have time to give it more than one chance at the moment, but I am looking forward to Season 3 and where it takes the story. Aside from Heroes Tim, just pick a book from your pile, I'm definitely open to new books, I just need something goot to read. On that subject, Mr. cp of the Bookish Tuesday post... I know who you are and I will punch you in the throat if you mention that book again.
smartyP, I have to say that your comment on yesterday's post said exactly what I wanted to say only much more intelligently and eloquently and I thank you very much.
Now to games!!! Burnout: Paradise is a wonder to behold. I don't particularly like car games (particularly racing ones), but the Burnout series has had a special place in my heart ever since I picked up Burnout 3 a few years back. That game had the wondermous Crash mode, where it would set up a particular road and (in a puzzle type form) ask you to crash and cause as much monetary damage as possible. Many an hour I spent hurtling my metallic wreckage in hopes of hitting a couple of buses and that elusive oil tanker worth $20,000 (I think, its been a while).
Anyway Burnout: Paradise doesn't have this Crash mode, and for this I was definitely hesitant about ever buying the title. Back in January when it was first released I loved playing the demo over and over, but for some reason I could never really justify dropping $60 for the game. So, when the price dropped to 30 here recently, my brother and I decided to go ahead and snag it (plus there has been and will be tons of free downloadable content for the game) and I am now truly happy that I did. Since Paradise is an open world game, there is a ton of driving around finding shorcuts, bashing barriers, and taking on random races whenever you want.
As you all now know how much I love online co-op, Paradise truly is a winner. With easy invites and the ability to join in someone wherever they are in the city at any time... it's perfect for my gaming time. Before I get in too much and start to repeat myself, I'll just say, Burnout is a super fun game and that's all I need.

I wish the new Burnout had a crash mode since that was the only part of Burnout 3 that I liked to play.
I kinda have to agree with Katie. I DO like paradise, but I kinda prefer that gradual immersion of the older Burnout Games.
Just one of those people that complains about not enough open world stuff then whines when I get it....
