We have now added leaderboards for Burnout CRASH! There are leaderboards for each level so when we have added them all there will be 9 x 6 = 54 in total. I addition to this we have added a Masters of CRASH! leaderboard that is calculated from the total of all your CRASH! scores. This is the ultimate leaderboard for Burnout CRASH! and will tell us who is the best of the best.

Xandu put up a little countdown to Burnout CRASH! ticker, only a couple of days ago, but it's a good reminder that Burnout CRASH! is due to be released tomorrow.

I hadn't completely forgotten about it, but CG haven't exactly been overly loud in the build up to  their new release. I have had other things going on in my day to day life, which has meant that I am fairly non-pumped about getting Burnout CRASH! tomorrow.

Just want to give you the heads up on some minor updates to our site and our latest ad-campaign.

• Comments can be viewed by anonymous users.
• New Burnout CRASH! forum
• Site information updated

We have been given a free ad-campaign from google adwords and you might see adverts for BurnoutAholics.com on various websites you visit. The campaign will be running for about 3 months.

Those of you who frequent Xbox.com will know that they have upgraded (I use that word loosely) their forums.

They have yet to create a Peggle forum, and the Driver: SF forum only has a handful of posts.

The general state of the Xbox forums has inspired me to expand our own.

I didn't really get the pinball influence until I saw this video:

Now, I can really see the pinball influences.

The music that comes in when special things happen is very pinball. Falling down holes and starting at the bottom again is very pinball. And all the triggered special features have a very pinbally feel.

If you haven't tried the demo yet... please do! It was a lot of fun and could be a decent Burnout replacement until another real Burnout reveals itself! 😉

I know I said that about Blur and Split/Second, but I really mean it about this one! 🙂

Just out of curiosity is anyone attending this years Eurogamer ???? I will be there camera in hand and pen behind my ear ..... so if your going let me know and who knows I may see you there ...... 😃

it seems so much has changed since my last visit *looks around* very nice indeed. I did have to double check that I was actually on the right site ..... lol

Looking good is all i can say .... although you do realize that now what i intended asa quick flying visit is now going to take me over an hour lmao ..... hmmmm nice tactics :D and ooo what is this i see 😈 snazzy smilies ..... i was hoping you had added to the original ones but it seems you have discarded them and created new ones ...... i did like the other ones i have to admit .....

I'm sorry if I interrupt your freeburn and attempt to do stuff. I am not very good, but trying to get better. How the hell do you get to be that fast? I'm going around and whoosh.... there goes someone else, flying higher, going faster and looking way, way cooler....

We are still making changes to the site after the major update we did a couple of weeks ago.

The following has been changed / fixed:

• FAQs are back online and all links to FAQs should be working again.
• Added Burnout CRASH! FAQ.
• Added automated moderation to all posts. This is to stop spam posters. The system has been running for 3 weeks and so far 25 spam posts have been stopped. Only one spam post made it through which means that over 96% of the spam attempts were automatically stopped. If you post a blog or comment and it does not show up on the site it means that it was probably flagged as spam. If you did nothing wrong you have nothing to fear and the post will show up on the site within a couple of days. If the content was actual spam your user will be deleted and email/username reported to our spam detection service. We enforce a zero tolerance policy on spam and there are no 2nd chances!
