so...if I've never played Burnout - ever, should I jump right into Revenge, or would it beneficial to start at the original?
i'm pretty stingy about buying games. i've been playing tiger 2005 exclusively for about a year now. i desperately need to get a new game or two, and i love racing games. have you played that new game, FlatOut ? i've been thinking about purchasing it, but haven't heard any feedback about it yet. hate to waste $50 if it sucks. http://tinyurl.com/7kn53 Ray Jim Davis wrote: > Really and truly it is!
