I totally love the Wheelman Demo!

If you haven't tried it yet.. what are you waiting for? go get it and give it a go! It is the most fun I have had playing a new car game for a long time! I was sat on the edge of my seat with a huge smile on my face!

Since both Criterion and EA fail till now in providing proper Information for the masses of PC Players out there, (besides some small Twitter bits that came just today after the Update), i decided to spend some minutes of my lifetime to possibly make your life a little easier, by describing on how to access the new Download Content (Legendary Cars, Toys, Boost Specials) and give a little advice on the Installation process with the EADM & the EA Account.

I was a bit bewildered this morning to see the main news on CG's page being a celebration for Greek Independence Day. Are they going to do news stories for every nation I wonder? Will we see a big Norwegian flag on the front page news on the 17th of May??

I was very hopeful that the last time I took my test would be the last time I would have to take it.. but unfortunately I touched the curbs on my reverse park, and again when I tried to correct myself, which lead to another FAIL!

That's right! Amazing as it sounds and after all my complaining about the outrageous pricing, I caved to peer pressure and purchased the Extreme Hot Rod!

I like it! and it did give us some much improved Lap of the Gods times, and I imagine it will be good for other Timed Challenge records, although Rock around the Clock was a bit rubbish last night!!

So, episode 27 saw us go back in time to 1983 for an Open University style show all about the Boost Specials. Today, we go all the way back to Pathe News style footage 🎬 all the way back from way before even my time!!

I don't know how many people who play Burnout Paradise were alive in 1983, I imagine that for a lot of you this is way before your time and you may not get the reference. But, the new Crash TV is based on BBC 2's Open University shows and features Professor Follett teaching us all about Boost.

CG have posted an add for experienced artists today, you can see the full story HERE. The thing which leapt out of the page at me was "....experience of working on driving games is a definite plus."  Which to me indicates that the next project they will be working on will be a driving game. I know they have been linked to creating an NFS title, but it could also be Paradise 2, or maybe something new?

Over the last week or so i have been experiencing a new bug, During some freeburn challenges the connection between 2 players seems to be unsynchronized, this has happened to me on three occasions now.
Whilst doing challenges the players icon appears to be at the last challenge location seeming stationary, even though the player is still near you and doing the challenge, it doesn't show up any score so it looks like they are not participating in the challenge, there car is still in the game and appears to be normal with there gamertag above it, you can still make contact with it but not take it down, the viop is still working, the corresponding player sees the same with your car and sees no stats for the other player in the challenge. This seems to have started since the release of 1.7 and only seems to occur
during online freeburn challenges.
I'm trying to find out if this is a widespread problem and if it is just specific to the 360, I have posted a bug on bugzilla (332), so if anyone else has had the same problem could you leave a few details here, thanks.

any one got some nice little hidin holes, please let us know.

i like to make lots of tea, so i park up at my own risk
