    Expect endless reruns of burnout or a expansion pack every 6 months. EA seem to be taking over everything in sight Thank goodness for activision!

    hmmm Burnout 2 on the PC

    Sorry - but I would love to see this moved across from the x-brick to PC and take advantage of the new highend graphics cards.....

    Imagine all that polygon carnage....

    Sorry - after reading about current events, I now MUST get into a car and drive down the motorway on the wrong side and try to crash into as many as possible

    That sounds great (so does burnout 3 on pc )

    but if the game was ported accross it would be a cheap unoptimised halo like affair

    www.renderware.com for info. bad news

    renderware is only used on crappy titles, such as the grand theft auto series, and components of renderware (mathengine) have been used in silly little engines such as that of unreal tournament 2xxx

    it DID say 500+ titles, and that's a fairly accurate summation.

    not just the ten it listed, y'know!
