For everyone in the UK, Morrisons Supermarket is currently selling NEW games for £25! Bargain!!

I picked up a few titles this morning as I can't resist a good bargain!

The titles on 360 at my local store include: BF: Bad Company,  Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Too Human, Soul Calibour IV and Mercenaries 2.

I am in a dilemma...

I recently looked through my friends list and noticed one of my American friends had changed their gamer pic and bio. Their gamer pic is promoting McCain for President, and in their bio they call for McCain-Palin '08. This really shocked me, as it is the polar opposite of my own political views.

I have always classed myself as a socialist, and recently took the Political Compass test and was in exactly the same spot on the compass as the Dalai Lama.

I am working from home today, so taking advantage of being able to download new demos at off peak times. But, my hard drive only had a Gig of free space so I needed to do some clearing out first. 

I noticed that my game save for Burnout Paradise is 383 MB, Halo 3 is 613 MB, Rainbow 6 Vegas is a whopping 1.4 GB and Vegas 2 weighs in at 392 MB.

Will Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise get confused with Burnout Paradise and lead to more girls getting into Burnout??

What is going to be in the "Secret Pack" update due out later this year??

enquiring minds need to know!

I posted this over on Criterion Games forum, but it got locked pretty quickly and without a response from Criterion, so I am ranting here instead!

This is what I posted:

I was racing around trying to beat online speed Road Rules yesterday, and to my surprise I was Silver on Warren!!!

Cool! I thought, so I tried to beat my own time, which Xandu then beat, so I had to beat him again and I got a 3.73 which can still be improved on a bit I think.

I have updated some of the Links over on our Links page, as alot of the EA pages now direct straight to CriterionGames.com, I have removed them.  Some of the other links were also non-existant so have been removed.

I have added links direct to the Criterion Games YouTube channel and Flickr sites.

If you know of any other good Burnout or Xbox related sites that we are missing please let me know, and we will get them added.

It's a bank holiday today in the UK and the weather is rubbish, so I thought I would take the opportunity to try out Ranked Racing in Paradise to see if it is any FUN.....

And it still isn't!

The few rooms I jumped into all had boost locks on slightly lower levels, 7 or 8 boost level cars. So I ran the Hawker in the 8 room and the Gamespot in the 7.

I won the first race, but then there were only 3 of us and the host quit halfway through??!!
