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.

I've done some minor adjustments to the leaderboards this afternoon. The completion percentage is now showing correctly.

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.

Here is a example of what it might look like:

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 have now added a Driver: SF and a Peggle forum to our list.

Please let me know if there are any other games you feel like discussing here, as I am happy to add any forums that I think/know will be used.

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 ......
