Just been looking over Eurogamer.TV and come across some great new trailers.

First up is Speedball 2 which I guess should technically be Speedball 2 v2 or something as they're not calling it Speedball 3. Basically it's a remake of the Amiga classic looking to regain the spirit of the original for PC and probably Next Gen consoles. Considering the Bitmap Brothers are behind this one, hopefully it won't be shit.

The other video which caught my attention was the teaser for the new Burnout which as now been officially named Burnout Paradise and will be coming out on Xbox 360 and PS3. Not much to be seen in the teaser as it's not due out for sometime yet, but if they can keep it fun, I'm going to look forward to it. Although alarm bells are ringing when they mention it's going to be a "free-roaming experience" which sounds like the mechanic used in the recent Need For Speeds and Test Drive Unlimited. To be honest, I prefer the conventional menu style for selecting what objective to tackle next. I hope they re-introduce the "burnout" which the series was named after. It was re-introduced in Burnout 4.5, AKA Burnout Dominator on PSP (And PS2) and it works so well.

Anyway, I should probably go to bed now and stop wasting my time watching videos online.

I hope they will have a soundtrack as good as the one from Speedball 2 or something like wise.

Anyhoo Burnout Paradise link is the same as Speedball 2.

Fixed the link (it was late!).

Yeah, one of the good things about SB2:BD was the music. But it was also the fact that it was easy to pick up and play, and even the powering us your squad with your winnings was pretty easy compared to all the faffing about you can do with management sims.
