It was a lot of fun reading through some of your first day experiences, but there can only be 4 winners. I will be sending the winners their codes by PM today.

Burnout 3: Takedown is number 7 of the Original Top XBox Live titles for week 3 2008. The ranking is based on global unique users.  This is not a surprising development since the game was released on XBox Originals on the 14th of January.

BurnoutAholics have been hosting lobbies 3 or 4 times since the game was released and the online activity is high. There are lots of new players trying out the game and from what I hear they really seem to enjoy the game.

If you are reading this story and are new to Burnout 3: Takedown you should check out our article about the game here.

News from the News section in the Demo from DJ Atomika:

"Sad news folks, I've been asked to tell you that in preperation for the launch of the full game in a couple of weeks time, the online part of the demo will stop working in about a week. (boo hiss!). Don't worry; all the offline stuff will still work fine.

But the good news is that the full game is out in just under two weeks where you will be able to get back online and Freeburn across the entire Paradise City map (YEAH!)."

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.

BurnoutAholics at Criterion Games!

On Saturday the 6th of October 2007 Xandu and I went to Criterion Games in Guildford to play Burnout Paradise for the weekend.

We drove up to Guildford in the morning full of excited anticipation! It took ages to find a parking spot, and then even longer to find Criterions offices!! But, eventually we made it and Hamish Young let us in and showed us around.  The first thing we saw at the top of the escalators was a Full Size Revenge Racer which had crashed through the wall.

Everybody in the office was playing Paradise, and we were set up on a big screen right at the end of the office, given PS3 controllers and we were off!
