Having got Burnout Paradise on the PC (if you haven’t got it, you can get it on amazon here: Burnout Paradise PC (Ultimate Box Edition). I have to say that though I have a fairly decent computer, I was once again surprised at the level of detail in the game. The graphics are really slick, the driving is so fast too, it’s hard to believe that it’s all being drawn in real time, I really wonder how come this is possible, but games like GTA suffer, while I appreciate there are differences, it makes me wonder why Rockstar dumped Criterion’s Renderware when they did, I think it’s really come of age lately.

I’ve got a Burnout Paradise Save Game (Windows Installer MSI file, 316KB), to help people get started, it’s only just got less than 30 cars out of the available 75, so there’s still loads to do, but the Class A licence has been achieved. To use the save game, simply click on the link and run the MSI file, it should install my save game automatically, though it may overwrite yours.

Let me know how you get on in the game!

So, played Codemasters Race Driver: GRID and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting too much, having played previous versions on the xbox, they were no GT beater.   I was however quite impressed when I started to play this game, it’s very slick!   There is a real nice polished feel to everything in the game from the soothing menu music to the very simple menu interface.   The visuals in the game are perhaps some of the best that I’ve ever come across in a codemasters game, of course to get the best, you’ll need a decent graphics card.   After playing my way through the game, I was always taken back with the visual quality, often watching the replays to see the car from every angle, much like I did with GT, though the replays on GRID seem so much more realistic with the camera wobble and everything.

I’ve got a save game that you can download and use buy lots of cars etc test all the tracks without having to do all the hard work of getting to the top, of course, this save game will only work on the PC.

Race Driver: GRID PC savegame (1.5MB, MSI), just download and run it, when you start GRID next time, my save game will automatically be loaded, be careful though, this save game may interfere with your own older save game, so make a backup before you do anything.

Need to buy a copy of the game? No problem, here’s a link on amazon to get Race Drive: GRID fix: Buy Race Driver: GRID (PC DVD), it even has free delivery! Bargain!
