The rumors have been confirmed. Burnout CRASH! is coming as a download only title to XBox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network this fall.

Criterion Games have gone back to their roots with Burnout CRASH! and reinvented the fan favourite Crash Mode as a brand new installment in the award-winning Burnout series. The new game is inspired by pinball, retro music and game shows.

We first got to know about Burnout Crash! through the Australian Classification Website. Yesterday the following information was revealed through the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).

"This is an action game in which players earn points for creating traffic pileups. From a top-down perspective, players initiate crashes by driving 'cartoony' vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, vans, buses) into busy intersections; multiple crashes trigger score multipliers and rack up large 'bills' of property damage. Each level is accompanied by crashing sounds, small explosions, and vocal encouragement (e.g., 'Cool,' 'Maximum Carnage!'). In some levels, players are instructed to crash into police cars (e.g., 'Crash them before they bust you!'); in other sequences, oversized airplanes, tornados, lobster monsters, and UFOs slide across the screen, destroying any vehicles in their path."

We have had the demo for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit for a little while now, and are absolutely loving it so far! Unfortunately tho, all good things must come to an end. The demo will cease on the 9th of November. If you haven't downloaded it already, what are you waiting for? Get it now and give it a go while you still can. You never know you might even win some stuff if you are good enough!

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.

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.
