The Burnout hasn't seen many installments on Nintendo's consoles, only
Burnout 2 and
Burnout Legends, but Criterion was about to change that according to EA's Outsourcing Manager Paul Dibden.
Burnout Freestyle was never officially announced, but it is now classified as "Unpublished," another term for canceled. Similarities to Rockstar's
Chinatown Wars are obvious, not only in appearance and touch controls, but also the presence of mini-games.

Well, that's that with that. The holidays are over, so it's back to the grind.
Things will probably be quiet for a little bit longer, but normal coverage will now resume. Hope you have enjoyed our
Top Games of 2010 feature, and we are currently also having a
DC Universe Online beta key giveaway (for both PC and PS3 codes), which will be ending soon. Be sure to have a go at it.
Yesterday was pretty subdued. We ran some errands and watched TV for the rest of the day. We got sucked into the
Pillars of the Earth miniseries and two of the
Millennium Trilogy movies.

The New Year has begun! We had a relaxing NYE, no craziness, and yesterday we spent most of our time watching movies (Predator, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and a few episodes of Supernatural.
Today will be equally quiet, apart from doing some grocery shopping, we have nothing planned, so we'll have done quite a bit of catching up on our DVR over the past few days. Go us!
We've been debating about upgrading our phones and switching to the iPhone, but we've been waiting for Verizon to announce their version. However, my current cell was getting on my last nerve (battery kept dying after 1-2 calls or text messages) and on our way back from the movies earlier this week, we decided to get it over with and we got ourselves a pair of Droid 2 phones. We picked that one over the Droid X because it works internationally, and now we get to play Angry Birds wherever we go!

We continued our movie streak with another visit to the theater, this time to watch
True Grit, a remake of
the 1969 western starring John Wayne. While there were surprisingly a lot of laughs in the movie, it is a good flick with a few gritty scenes.
We also finished off The Amazing Race season and watched some more Psych.
No major plans for tonight, apart from some dinner, drinks and watching fireworks on the balcony. We have a few more Netflix movies lying around and other goodies on the DVR, so we'll be spending a cozy night in the couch in front of a roaring fireplace and watching TV; it may not be the most exciting thing to do, but it'll be a fun and relaxing way to kick off the new year!
