Burnout Paradise

Sorry for the lack of posts (speaking to myself hehe), but it appears that the release of the FREE Motorbike pack for BURNOUT PARADISE made me buy the game along with a friends recommendation. The demo really doesn't do the game justice tbh, but if you like arcade racers, BURNOUT games in general, or the racing genre I'm confident you can appreciate this game!

The speed in the game is insane!!!!!! Buy buy buy, I'll post some vids/pics and more details asap ;)

There are a few negatives for die hard Katamari fans to be found here, I find the controls are not quite as responsive as the PS2 version, and to get the whole 1000 G's from the game you MUST BUY THE DOWNLOAD CONTENT! See I would have got that regardless as the game is lush, but the fact that you are literally forced to do so.. SUCKS BIG TIME!!!

Also signs you out of XBOX LIVE, if you are not doing online which pisses me off somewhat.

CRACKDOWN

Crackdown - 10/10 SUPERB GAME, BECOME THE LAW!

I love this game, gives you a real sense of character development as you level up (can be done very rapidly). It is not a really challenging game to finish by any means, but it is great to explore especially online. I remember playing co-op with a friend and making my way up the agency tower... Felt proper sick looking down from that height and when you fall it does tend to make your stomach go a little weird.

Throughout the game you can collect green orbs (300) to enhance your jumping abilities *completed*, and blue orbs (500) that are simply hidden around the game *15 to go*. The download content for this is worth the points, and contains vehicles and extra races/challenges.

If you enjoyed Test Drive Unlimited you will like the driving style of the cars here, some of which level up along with your character.

The Japanese vers of the game works on the UK console and has far better cover art!

Triggerheart Exelica - XBOX LIVE Arcade

Triggerheart Exelica - 8/10 AMAZINGLY GOOD BULLET HELL ESQ TRADITIONAL SHOOTER!
Really good old style shooter, will take a while to get 100% completion from these ladies.

Never played this on the DREAMCAST or ARCADE but easy to get to grips with never the less.
If you have never heard of traditional shooters = think space invaders on illegal substances! Tbh this isn't overwhelming in the bullet hell way but will totally crush you initially.
