Best Burnout Paradise Sequel not Actually Called Burnout Paradise 2: Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Enter Need for Speed: Most Wanted. It handles like Burnout Paradise, it takes place in an open world full of challenges like Burnout Paradise, and indeed, you can slap on the booster and take down opponents - just like Burnout Paradise. Yet, even as Paradise integrated a certain degree of social engagement, Most Wanted feels like a perfect wedding of Autolog and Facebook-level connectedness. It is, in short, the sequel to Paradise that weve wanted for years.
Runner up: Nothing. Seriously, the next Need for Speed is essentially Burnout Paradise 2 - how awesome is that?
Best Game of the Show: Watch Dogs
And thats before the amazing and immersive look into this hackable Chicago. Its got elements that remind us of Assassins Creed. Its got a level of technological Superman thats appealing. And, apparently, theres going to be much more to it, from a social standpoint, than weve been shown?
Runner-up: Assassins Creed III
