Games That Affect Your Life: Burnout
From Wratty @ 9/24/2005 06:44:00 PM
Right, first of all i thought i'd let you know we wanted to call this Games That Change Your Life but Burnout isnt one of those games, and this isnt that sort of feature.
How has it affected your life?
Do you drive into cars on purpose?
Have you driven up the back of a car transporter into oncoming traffic?
Have you fitted your car with an explosive just in case someone knocks you off the road?
Does your life slowdown when you crash into someone?
Well i can say that none of those things has happened to me, yet. I've been playing the Burnout games for the past year or three and they are one of the more interesting racing games available.
Burnout 4 has just come out, or Revenge as they've dropped the numbers for some anal reason. Probably so people dont keep saying EA keep releasing numerical updates of its games, whoop de do - dont listen EA, keep making money and we'll decide what we want to play.
Anway, Burnout REVENGE. Its great - it looks better than the third ( the third was a massive step in the right direction, going back to 1 or 2 hurts my eyes ) and has some extras. Last week i got bored of it after 2 hours of play, but going back to it i've found interest again.
Its just pure enjoyment really which is what gaming is about, giggling when you take down that fast car, smashing it into a wall and watching it happen in slo mo while you whizz past. While i do find myself driving along in my ACTUAL ( NON SPORTY ) car thinking about knocking that guy off the road who's overtaking me on the bypass at 124mph. But i dont, and this is why games can affect your life, where does the game stop and where does life begin? I guess it depends on your mental health and the amount of sleep you get, and considering i've been getting up at 5.30am every day (bar sunday) i havent gone for a traffic attack...
just yet.
