Burnout 3 (Preview)

15 Jul 2004

Check out this latest trailer and see what the fuss is all about:We'd bet our monthly wage packet that you've played one of the first two Burnout games.

This particular version, however, is a month old. We're travelled to Criterion's Surrey headquarters to play the very latest code - the first magazine in the world to do so - and the developer ...
