Guardian Unlimited writes: "The post Christmas gaming lull ended this week with the postie throwing Burnout Paradise, Turok and The Club through my letterbox. Only one of those - Burnout - is released today. And the most surprising news, considering the tedious demo, is that Burnout Paradise is really enjoyable.
Not since the similarly free-roaming Crackdown have I had so much fun just mucking around in a game. Driving around the gorgeously depicted environments is entertaining enough and there are so many distractions that the lack of instant event restarts is nowhere near as annoying as feared.
But for me online is the way to really experience Burnout Paradise. It's easy to set up on the 360 - supposedly even easier on the PS3, which has to be a first - and gives the game that glorious Crackdown feel of a living breathing city."
The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.
I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.
I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.
Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.
And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.
I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.
Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.
We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.
Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.
I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.
On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.
I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.
I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.
I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.
Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car
Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

Burnout Paradise is a blast. The online really makes it even more fun.
How the racing do you really have to keep constantly pausin the game to figure out what route to take because it doesnt give you designated tracks for a race just a start and a finish line? This is the factor that bothered me why i was waitin to buy it rather than day one purchase like i had first planned.
