13 April 2012 R.I.P. Burnout Revenge Online

This is a huge tragedy for the Burnout community, there will be no true Burnout racing games online after this.

To say I am saddened by this news is an understatement, the fact that the date falls on my birthday is also really upsetting.

...I only just started playing it again. crying

Criterion Games announces Burnout Crash!

Burnout CRASH!

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.

It sounds like the gameplay will be as fun and simple as in the previous games. Drive in to an intersection, cause a massive pile-up and blow up everything in sight.

Final Leaderboards; Burnout 2: Point of Impact

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?
