Frozen Vapor's Burnout Revenge Tournament

I put Burnout 3: Takedown in my 360 today and my heart sank as I realised as it is a replacement 360 I now have NO GAME SAVE!!

So, I am going to try to complete the game again as fast as I can!

Actually, if I do it, it will be the first time I have ever fully completed Burnout 3: Takedown. I have never unlocked the Euro Circuit Racer before, so it's about time I actually tried! I might make that my New Years resolution... unlock the Euro in 2009!

I still have my save on my original crystal Xbox, but it would be nice to be able to play on the 360.

Rockstar have announced the "South Central Upgrade Map" for Midnight Club: Los Angeles. This will be a FREE download of a whole new area of the city, about 1/3 the size of the original game.

The content of gameplay is available seperately as a paid for download. The "South Central Content Pack" will contain new character competitions, races, cars and music. The new vehicles include a variety of cars and a motorcycle as well as SUV's.

We can expect to see this new DLC in early 2009.

This is an urge to everybody to read the labels and know what you are putting in your body.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener used in fizzy drinks, squash/cordials, juice drinks, hot chocolate, sugar-free gum etc. It is not only in Diet products but full fat drinks contain Aspartame too.

In the UK, the labels have to say "Contains a source of Phenylalanine" and on the ingredients list, it will be listed as Aspartame or E951.

I love internet rumors, especially when they are about Criterion Games... The lates is that Criterion Games will be developing the next NFS game!!

This is the CG related bit, from an inside source at EA who wishes to remain anonymous apparently:

...he claims that one of the next entries into the series (NFS) will be developed by the EA-owned Criterion Games, and will likely use the engine of their racing series, Burnout...

When you sign up to BurnoutAholics.com you agree that you will not:

I have crept back up to 100 people on my friends list, and hardly any of them play the same games as me. So, it's time for a clean up!

Mostly I am clearing people who haven't been online for over 6 months, but that's not many, so the others will have to be people who don't have Burnout as one of their last 5 played games and who I haven't played with for ages.

I have been thinking about this for a while now, since the Ranked Race changes were brought in, Criterion Games have very rarely if ever.. used the word "race" when talking about Burnout Paradise. In fact in some of the Podcasts it looks to me like they are choosing their words very carefully to make sure they don't accidentally say the "R" word.

I posted this over at Operation Burnout in response to someone complaining about people moaning about racing in Paradise;
