The MMO shooter All Points Bulletin (APB) shut down after a mere 3 months after release. Players of the game were not offered a refund via Stream while retail copy owners were told to return to the store they purchased it from for a refund.

No, this is not a satirical post. What I’ve written above is factual, assuming Criterion is not lying to us all. In a post from earlier this week, they share some details about what could’ve made its way into Burnout Paradise and those details include driving on the moon and time travel.

For all of you PC Burnout players (and if you’re not one, you should be), Criterion have released a patch allowing you to download the previously announced DLC for the game from the Burnout Store. The patch can be downloaded directly from here, and players with the EA download manager should already have it. The [...]

Criterion haven’t finished with the free stuff, after all. The PC version of the acclaimed racer Burnout Paradise, due for release in February 2009, will be released completely free for a trial period (although there is no word on how long you’ll be able to play).

Not only can it hover at head height, but it has clearly been modeled on the DeLorian DMC-12 featured in the iconic “Back to [...]

Obama is not just campaigning for the president of these United States in the real world, but in the virtual word as well. First his ads appeared in Burnout Paradise, but there are actually 18 games you can find him campaigning in. Through the Xbox LIVE service, Obama is campaigning in games such as Guitar [...]

Haven’t bought Burnout: Paradise yet? Have a Playstation 3, an internet connection, and $29.99 you’re willing to part with? Try to hold on to them until a to-be-determined date in the Fall, when Burnout: Paradise in its entirety will be available for download.
