Burnout Paradise, the legendary car pack is awesome. Driving a Delorean around in hover mode, hitting jumps in the General Lee and driving at break neck speed in KITT
 Can't wait for the new island now

I have to say, the developers of Burnout Paradise (Criterion still?) have absolutely excelled when it's come to the DLC. I wasn't too interested in the game at first but with all the DLC available I feel it's definitely worth a punt at some point. Just wish it would go back to the more linear World Tour mode where you had all the events separate rather than in an open world.

It's still Criterion. The sheer amount of DLC is awesome, although now you can actually buy all the cars instead of earning them in races. Which I'd rather do, as you feel like you have accomplished something.

Following on from my no whoring pledge, I spent the last few days playing demo's trying to find what to get next. I enjoyed the demo's of both Halo wars and Civ Revolution.
Gonna try to bag a cheap ebay copy of civ and pick up halo wars when it's cheaper. Got dead space coming through on rental but I'm not sure I actually want to play it. Might just send it straight back.

Why are you not keen on dead space?
After briefly losing my sanity on Avatar and Fifa 06 I'm back to just playing good games again. I had NBA 06 in my 360 for 5 minutes before realising what I was doing, cancelling my lovefilm whore list and sending it back. I've basically not played much else this last 2 weeks. I did however started Battlefield Bad Company a couple of nights ago and I'm loving it.

Dead Space is possibly my 2nd favourite game from last year Danny, so I'd definitely give it a go. It's superb.
As for Civ Revolution, not normally my kind of game but I REALLY enjoyed it when I played it late last year, a bit of a pleasant surprise. It's a game I'll buy when it goes dirt cheap in the future to finish up the achievements. I also really enjoyed the demo of Halo Wars, but simply cannot afford it at the moment.

 I know what you mean regards games, you occasionally stumble across a decent one but recently I questioned myself why I was bothering knocking out crap game after crap game. 3 years from now MS might stop making consoles and then I will be left with a profile that means nothing. Well kids your daddy once had 100,000 points on xbox. A really good mate of mine is obsessed with it, what I've played which ones where easy. If he see's me playing something he will comment on xboxachieves rating on how hard the 1000 is. I then became a little obsessed with staying ahead of him, it winds him up. It's a bad gaming habit i'm slowly kicking. Take PGR4 for example, I played that for as long as it took me to whore 800 odd points. In my gaming days before the 360 I'd have perfected that game over the years it took for a sequel to come out. Quote:

I never really found Dead Space *that* scary, there were a few occassions where I jumped, but the whole game plays on atmosphere rather than just having random things jump at you from nowhere (that's not to say this doesn't happen), but it plays out really well.

I'd rate dead space as an action horror. It has scary moments, especially at the start, but after time it just becomes a fun game to play without the scare factor. Doesn't stop it being one of my favourite games of last year.
Currently playing killzone 2 (unsurprisingly), i like.
