Eurogamer previews Burnout Paradise

The fancy lads over at Eurogamer gave a good, hard look at Burnout Paradise, and how Criterion is focusing on the "seamless" gameplay. Given the open environment of Paradise City, where we suppose the grass is indeed green and the girls above average, there are plenty of opportunities to expand on the number of things to do beyond racing and crashing.

Aided by the addition of a handbrake, Burners will be able to perform Power Parking, where if you see a space between two parks vehicles that you may be able to squeeze into, and hopefully you can pull it off without hitting the curb or their parked vehicles. It's the little things like that which give us a lot of hope for this iteration of the Burnout series. Check out the full scoop by clicking the "read" link.

Both spellings: "curb", and "kerb", are in fact correct. Considering the source is European, the one freshest in my memory at the time of writing was "kerb". Good call on the "their", though.

I'll be reading the linked article shortly, but my question is this: In a game about absurdly-fast racing where you can't even stop to avoid smashing other cars out of the way, why would we ever care about PARKING the car?
