If you are late to the Burnout Paradise bandwagon, now might be the cheapest time to jump on! 🙂

I entered a contest and at least got an honorable mention, but they didn't show the images that I provided. You can check some of them out on my previous blog.

"Burnout Resurrection

Criterion's Burnout franchise has revolutionized the Arcade Racing Game Genre. Burnout's innovative crash and damaged systems have inspired others to create racing games similar to Burnout, but they have fallen short in overall impact. Till this day, Burnout's only real downfall is that their most recent game, Burnout Paradise, shocked and surprised many. It was so different that it attracted even more players with its new and massive free range racing world, and also scared away the arcade-only type racers that liked the old way of Burnout; racing in closed boundaries and traveling across the globe. Majoring in Game Art and Design, and being die hard player of Burnout, I feel very confident that I have a good grasp on what it takes to deliver.

Now I am happy to have some Avatar stuff and I know a small fee must be presented or you got to buy the game and complete some task to gain stuff, but some of this stuff does not show up unless you go right into your party menu, to see the stuff in action.

As some of you may know I am a computer programmer by trade and I also enjoy programming in my spare time. Yesterday I discovered this game, a version of Othello, on my hard drive that I made 10 years ago. So just for fun I have upgraded it to work on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. I have also added some new features that were not in the original version.

Here are some quick images I had to work on and sent in to a contest.  Hopefully Criterion will bring back modes from Burnout Takedown and add some new things to the game. The pictures below tease on the idea of World Tour mode via cargo plane to get from country to country.  The second pic is the idea of being able to use another alternative shortcut such as smashing through windows during a race.

or... I can speak Norwegian!

At least a little bit anyway... I just completed my first Norwegian language course. It was a 6 week course, for 2 evenings a week, 48 hours of tuition, so I should have learnt something! However, it is nowhere near enough for me to feel any confidence in holding a full and normal conversation.

There is a plethora of upcoming racing games, but with the dissapointment of FUEL amongst others which just haven't fuelled the excitement of the racing community... will any of them be any good? Will there be a racing game which my friends list all get and actually play for more than a week?

After really enjoying 1 vs 100 last week MS have moved the goal posts and are now preventing players who are not located in the UK from being able to play, even tho we have UK accounts and an address in the UK where any prizes we are unlikely to win could be sent to.
