As well as the leaderboards from Burnout 2: Point of Impact, I also took shots of the Burnout 3: Takedown leaderboards. As well as the top 100, I also took photo's around my rank and around Xandu's rank, to capture as many names as I could. There are also pictures of the Crash Rankings.

As you can see from Xandu's comments, a lot of the top ranked racers used glitches to gain their points. We think the first genuine scores are around the 135 million mark! Some racers put a LOT of hours into this game!

I also took a few photo's showing the last room that I was in, the last 6 racers to play on Xbox Live. And then finally, the last screen messages..."This game can not be played online at this time. Please try again later"

Just before the closedown of Xbox Live on the 15th of April 2010, I took my digital camera and tried to capture as many of the online leaderboards as I could.

Take a look through these photos and see if you recognise any of the gamertags. These are all the old school burners and they all deserve to be immortalised here.

These gamers are the first BurnoutAholics! Are you among them?

Burnout 2: Point of Impact Leaderboards

There has been a lot of talk about Burnout Paradise lately but today we have a new featured article called Nero Angelo's Guide to Maintaining Speed written by One Incognito explaining how to maintain your speed in Burnout Revenge. The online community in Burnout Revenge is still very active and lots of BurnoutAholics are regularly hosting races.  

Burnout 3: Takedown is coming to XBox Originals on Monday 14th of January 2008. The game will cost 1200 Microsoft points and includes all the original features. Some of you might have heard rumors about the Burnout 3 servers being shutdown. This is not true they are live and kicking.

To celebrate the release I have finally completed Part 3 of the "A blast from the past" series. You can read our article about Burnout 3: Takedown here. This will hopefully be interesting to both new and old BurnoutAholics.

Introduction

I have thought for a while about the differences in the gameplay of the current 6 Burnout titles, and how they fit into an evolutionary generation-chain of 5 distinct generations of gameplay evolution, and thought I ought to write an article exploring the evolutionary ladder of the game series we all love and cherish. This article will only cover gameplay differences between the generations, as improvements in graphics and sound quality and such should be considered inconsequential when judging the playability of a game.
