The 1UP Show: Wii Fit, Burnout Paradise, and God of War: Chains of Olympus

1UP are nearly at the close of season seven, but they have still got some good stuff lined up before Team 1UP Show bids farewell for the holiday:

"First, we're feeling the burn -- Wii Fit is getting asses out of seats. Alpha mom Jennifer Tsao sits down with me and sk8r boi Jason Bertrand to work out with the Wii's latest trendy peripheral.

Then, wrapping up this week's kick-ass God of War PSP cover story is our own little khaki-clad Kratos -- Matt Leone -- and Mr. Bryan Intihar.

Finally, we're feeling a different burn -- this time thanks to an in-depth look at Burnout Paradise. Our resident terrible drivers and crash enthusiasts Shane Bettenhausen, Greg Ford, and Andrew 'Skip' Pfister kick the tires and light some fires to tell you all about why this open-world crashing and racing game could be one of the first best games of 2008."

Played GOW CoO demo and I have to say it looks amazing. I forgot I was playing a portable game.

with the PSP. Most of it's games feel like console games. When I say they I may the gaming media. Me, I like the console game feel. Makes the PSP feel more epic than the competition. Can't wait for GOW chains of Olympus. Burnout Paradise is probably my first purchase in 08.

Lifendz6009d ago

looks much better on PS3 than 360. Much brighter and vivid. Guess Xbots will feel what it's like to get a port. Hope you PS3 owners support Burnout so devs can justify making PS3 the lead platform for their IPs.

How Burnout Paradise bucked the trend and made open-world racing irresistible

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.

SullysCigar385d ago

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.

NJShadow385d ago

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.

EazyC385d ago

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.

BrainSyphoned385d ago

Paradise gave me open world burnout before I knew it was a thing.

CPTN MITCHELL385d ago

Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car

Einhander1971385d ago

Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

Ranking the God of War Games

Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.

I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.

But here’s how I rank them

5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.

MrNinosan561d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012560d ago

Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1

Flawlessmic561d ago

1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1

Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.

CrimsonWing69561d ago

I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.

However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.

I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.

I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.
