Best Driving Game
This generation of consoles has been marked by a dependable line of driving games. In 2008, the genre ratcheted up the competition. With such diverse location and gameplay elements being explored, 2008 was marked by innovation in the driving-game genre. Pure defied boundaries, Baja: Edge of Control took you to the silty seascapes of Baja Mexico, Grid brought glossy menus and compelling AI, MotorStorm returned to explore the zany Pacific Rift, and Burnout Paradise delivered a new open world in which to race and crash. Each game delivered a compelling driving experience, but only one game could have laid down enough rubber to pull away from the pack.

Burnout Paradise proves that crashing is awesome! Next generation technology has enabled an unprecedented level of crash deformation allowing you to experience the most explosive pile-ups in the series' history. Now the development team can realize their original vision for the Burnout franchise: an open world environment where you can do anything, anywhere, anytime.
