In an effort to increase my game collection for the Gamecube, I decided to buy Burnout 2 which came out on Friday. I bought it from the nice people at Gamestation who I managed to get to knock the price down to £35. Not as cheap as some web sites but it was good enough for me as I could have it there and then. The game itself is an arcade style driving game that actively encourages reckless driving to be rewarded with a turbo boost :). There's even a "crash" mode where the objective is to cause the most expensive multiple car crash you can in one shot! I've found it very fun, fast and addictive, a welcome addition to my collection. Unfortunately, it is taking valuable time Zelda playing time away however.

In an unrelated note, I've decided to learn to drive. This has not come about because of me playing racing games, it's because I am restricted by public transport when it comes to looking for a new job. I'll need to have a lesson every Sunday at most due to me working long days but it'll be worth it. I seriously need to learn, I'm only worried about being able to finance a car and everything that goes with owning a car...
