Put this on for a quick try. What an awful, awful game. Played a couple of races against the CPU, then some Drag races against a friend. What a stupid mode that is – you don’t even have to steer round corners! Then did a Sprint race, which was equally crap. Also tried Career mode, but the storyline (yes, a storyline) is pants and superfluous to the racing. As is everything else, even. And the graphics are rubbish. Lets never …

I have always maintained that the best Burnout, is Burnout Paradise. And I was slightly concerned going into this that perhaps my memory is faulty and maybe the eleven years that have passed since I played the original version on the Xbox 360 have not been kind. I needn’t have worried – it’s still excellent. However, the passage of time has still had an effect. The main thing being that the massive open world map doesn’t feel massive any more. …
To my eternal shame, I have never completed Super Metroid. In fact, I’ve never played it for more than the first five minutes. I don’t know why I decided to rectify this situation now, but I did. Maybe it’s the fun I had with of-the-same-era Earthbound, or maybe it’s a Backlog Fighter/OCD Unplayed Home Screen Games combo prompting me. I’ve always intended to play it, and I’m a big fan of the two GBA Metroid games so I was pretty …
And what a pile of crap most of them were. Flatout UC: Dull. Like Burnout with no soul.The Darkness: Reminds me too much of Prey, but seems reasonable.Juiced 2: Like Need for Speed Underground crossed with Forza 2, but not great.MotoGP ’07: Yawn. Looks awful, plays just like the last one, which I disliked. The “crown” goes to NASCAR ’08 though. What a totally tedious, crap looking, pointless game. It’s like Daytona USA on the Saturn, only with everything good …
