Burnout Paradise: Coming Soon To PC
The closest thing to enjoying "straight" gaming that I get is racing games. I love them. Not so much the simulation heavy titles (See: Gran Turismo) but the actiony ones with lots of explosions and the ability to smash up cars tickles my inner butch guy. As an odd twist of fate, I tried Burnout Paradise for the first time last night. I had placed it in my GameFly queue some time ago and the latest greatest releases kept pushing it down the list. Lo and behold, it appeared in my mail box and I gave it a go. It has been awhile since I've sat down and invested more than 2 hours in one sitting in a video game, let alone a racing title.
Those of you that have not played this game on the 360 or PS3 will have your chance to give it a go on the PC soon. No major details have been released about the port, but the developers urge you all to "tune into a live webcast at http://criteriongames.com at 8:00 AM PST on Friday".
Full press release after the jump.
