On February 13th, Kiwibox got up close and personal with a gaggle of brand new Electronic Arts games that'll be released throughout the rest of 2008. We created mythical beasts in an alternate universe, gesticulated wildly while flinging flaming blocks, and trained to be ninjas. And yes, all three of these activities were as awesome as they sound. Here are some of the highlights of EA's big preview.
Burnout: Paradise
Xbox 360, PS3
Available Now
I'm a bit apprehensive about racing games in general, seeing as the bumper on my own car look as though it's been chewed apart by an Apatosaurus. But Burnout: Paradise actually rewards you for damages, and there's even a mini game in which you simply roll around and break stuff. Playing online lets you jump into anyone's game at anytime, and if you host a game you can come up with all sorts of ludicrous rules that other drivers must abide by. In short: this is the racing game for people who suck at racing games.
