    "With a surprising twist EA and Criterion have decided to name their up and coming GTA meets Destruction Derby, Burnout Paradise. It must be paradise because this new game has "an open world environment where you can do anything, anywhere, anytime!" The graphics on the trailer don't look bad, but don't scream next-gen when put up against the likes of Forza 2 and GT:HD.

    "As the E3 media monster began to lumber into town, we managed to have a chat to Alex Ward, ‘the man’ over at Criterion, about his latest project. During the conversation we asked him about how Burnout Paradise will make use of downloadable content. We were expecting new cars or maybe new skins… that type of easily implemented stuff. However, it looks like there are much bigger plans in place for Burnout Paradise."

    "Holy crap the muscle cars in Burnout Paradise are loud."

    That's the first thing that popped to mind when Criterion's Alex Ward fired up the E3 build of his team's latest racer for the first time. Ward followed the boot-up with an entertaining and humorous speech about how important it was for his team to build Paradise from the ground up (rather than use an existing engine), but as the engines continued to rev as we waited for our demo, I couldn't shake how realistic and powerful the vehic..."
