Sorry we couldn't give you guys a heads up on this event, but we did not know about it until seeing hn6's links. Thanks hn6!

So here is what we know. EA took over London's Trafalger Square with HUGE screens and showed a NEW Paradise Trailer as well as people playing the game.

Here are the links I have found so far:

Criterion Games

Gametrailers - The New Trailer

YouTube - Paradise Gameplay

If any of you were at the event in London please let us know what you thought!

I’m happy to see that we have now reached our goal of 100 users. We have already sent the prizes to two of the winners of the BurnoutAholics Day promotion.
 
I had a look at the site statistics today and we have now had over 10000 unique hits. Total page hits just reached 70000 which mean that each visitor on average visits 7 pages. We are very happy with these numbers and the average daily page hits is increasing steadily. The average daily number of unique hits for September was 115! For August this number was 71. This is a huge increase and we are really happy to see that the popularity of the site is growing.

Both Xandu* and ZombieTron** have been mentioned by Alex Ward which has helped to spread the word about BurnoutAholics.com but I think you can do better!
 
Can you get the BurnoutAholics.com name out there and really bring in new users?

Addiction points? What's that?

Submitted by Xandu on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 12:34

Some people might be wondering what these Addiction points are all about... well I thought it would be a funny thing to add. Basically the points gives an idea of how active you are on the site.

You get 3 points for a blog entrey, 1 point for comments, 1 point for suggeting a poll that gets put up on the site, 2 points for a FAQ that gets approved and added to our Burnout FAQ. Getting a clip added to the Revenge Clips gives you 5 points (only awarded once pr. user). If you write an article that makes it in to our Featured Articles section you can get anything from 5-50 points. There are lots of ways to earn points, but please remember that it's just a way to see how much users have contributed and it is no competition. If people start doing 1 line blogs to get more points I think you all know what will happen.

We have still not decided what to call the points. If you have any good suggestions add it as a comment to this post. We will do a poll and if your suggestion gets picked we will give you 5 points

Edit: Then we're sticking with ZombieTron's suggestion.
