I'm normally the first person to argue that racing games don't need a storyline. But, maybe I was wrong.

When it comes to open world racing/driving, I really think a good story would help me.

Am I missing something? Or is NFS:MW just too subtle for me???

To be fair, I have only played the game 3 times so far. The first time I played, I was quite enjoying it. I was playing offline only, got through some events and found some cars.

Yeah, it's a mashup, in my initial review I was wrong in thinking it could be considered different than Burnout Paradise (BOP still has something special about it such as more destruction and xtreme everything).  If you are an avid Burnout Paradise player, you can get through this easily. After you are done, there is so much to do.  I'll go online soon, once I practice without online distractions.

Summary: Some helpful things to consider if you are somewhat discouraged by this game not being another Burnout Paradise (It's not, just BOP's cool cousin, or maybe a glimpse of an upcoming Burnout?).

Update: Defeated all Most Wanted Cars, 76% finished.

though chat pad may be easier to use with this app or a keyboard like bboxee?and #escapethegrid went through town. Thats Forza Horizon Press show.

I gave this a try at the Play Expo. The singleplayer demo I played was only one race and a portion of the map.

The race was a checkpoint race. There's takedowns in it, but no slow-down camera for it (it got a bit tiring after a while in Paradise, anyway - especially  doing a few straight after each other). The handling is great but turning requires a little bit more effort than Paradise - you can't simply glide round any corner with ease.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is getting closer, and it really does look like a sequel to Burnout Paradise.

Although it is a bit strange that there isn't really that much information about the game yet, I have already seen enough in the trailers that reminds me of Paradise. Billboards, smash gates, freeburn online with races and those brilliant challenges, takedowns, etc. to convince me to get the game.

I also love how you unlock cars by finding them in the city. As soon as I get past the tutorial, I'll probably spend a few hours looking around the city.

Hey guys and gals, everytime I run a competition I like to keep you all in the loop, so I have a little comp here that I'd like to share with you all, over on XLN http://www.xboxlivenation.com/index.php/newswire/xln-news/4742-raw-realms-of-ancient-war-competition. I am running a comp on the latest game that I am playing, R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War.

It's been a while since the last update so yesterday I finally got around to updating the site and applying all relevant security fixes. Quite a few bugs have been fixed but probably nothing anyone will notice
