Angularbanjo's Blog: Burnout Team rocks

This post relates to: Burnout Paradise

So I just got around to playing with my Cagneyfied 360 tonight. After having fun with BC: Rearmed and being totally floored by Braid, I'd been tearing up the sidewalks of San Vanelona for a few days when one of my old Burnout friends suddenly wanted to play. Two hours and all two-player challenges later, I've gotta say that's about as much fun as you can possibly have in online multiplayer. With your pants on. Supposedly.

The Xbox 360 has been out for almost three years now, and there's a lot of quality gaming to be had with its ever-growing library. But Burnout Paradise is the only current-gen game that's got a permanent place in my heart. I love Gears and CoD4, PGR4, DiRT and GRID are all great fun, Civ Rev is a blast, GTA IV is straight up amazing, and a few of the XBLA titles are just too good to be true. But Burnout Paradise gives me a feeling I haven't felt since I was 15 and spent way too much time with my Amiga - a feeling I was sure I'd outgrown by now.

130 hours in, still fantastic. Even more so with Cagney. Burnout Team rocks.
