"Burnout 3: Takedown"

Man I loved the first two but never bought them, I'm not going to make this mistake again though, looks bloody amazing and it's just got a 9.5 from IGN, another great racer, I can't wait!

"This is the best arcade racing game I've ever played. Criterion has redefined speed for all racers of the future. While classics like Wipeout and F-Zero were once the measuring stick, Burnout 3 has taken the crown. This will be one of your favorites, a true classic, and a definite contender for Game of the Year. The graphics are stunning, the soundtrack is customizable (as the EA trax are horrendous), and the racing is blazingly fast and incredibly addictive. There is no better racing experience on Xbox or any other system and anyone who ignores Burnout 3 is a fool. It's not often that every single IGN editor agrees with the greatness of a game, but there's not one among us who has voiced displeasure over this brilliant title. Believe the hype, believe the score -- this is your must-buy game of the fall."

Even Edge gave it 9/10, what an excuse to use up some credit :D

I was wondering whether to get Burnout 3, seems I'll have to now. I loved the second one, so I'm glad the third has turned out so well.

Now all I need is live...

Definately go for BA over PT.

I hope it does. Would be a great feature. Still going to sell bucketloads anyway.

I really must get Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, especially with it being only £20 these days. However, Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow takes precedence.

I was on Pandora earlier for a bit, but I've been playing Doom 3 a lot recently, should be quality on Xbox live if the co-op mode makes it into the final game.

It's not really an EA game thankfully though, they just bought Criterion.

Haven't seen you on in ages either Borat. On anything, well apart from Riddick for a bit.

It's also good to see that EA haven't ruined the franchise either, wasn't hoping for scores as high as this, sounds like this could be a contender for game of the year.

You can't really compare Burnout to PGR2. PGR2 is a serious racing simulation, Burnout is an arcade carnage simulator.

Both are fun but in different ways.

It's safe to say I'll be making a purchase when it's released though.

I might pop on again tomorrow, a classic game and the best on live for me along with Pandora Tomorrow..Chaos Bleeds will be amazing though, can't wait for that, loads of games coming out - I need more cash!

I'm going back through it to try get all gold or platinums as well. Getting there. Great on Live, though I never see you play it on Live.

Must admit..I still regard PGR2 as my favourite Xbox game, keeps me coming back and it's very tough on gold/plat, hoping Burnout 3 will fill the void as PGR2 is all but polished off on Gold for me!
