There's one game that excites us more than any other at this year's E3. And, perhaps surprisingly, that game is Burnout Paradise, the open-world chassis-busting racer from excite-o-maestro developer Criterion. This fresh footage should have you feeling the same way.
See, while we love finally seeing Killzone 2 in action, or getting our hands dirty with Mercenaries 2, nothing quite gets us panting like Burnout does. It must be something about the no-holds-barred crashes. The utterly exhilerating speed. Or perhaps the mouth-wateringly detailed, vicious damage inflicted on the game's steel steeds.
Just watch this trailer for one of the week's most impressive clips - a car crumpling like a paper bag as it careers headlong into a concrete pillar. E3 still holds more videogame marvels for us to see. But they'llhave tobe something super special to takeourhearts from Burnout'sParadise.
Above: Watch closely in the barrel-roll moments for when the carevens itself out- we're guessing a new setup enables you to control the spin of your vehicle

A 29-year-old PC racing game going cyberpunk anime with Troy Baker, Initial D drifting, and cutscenes from the Metroid: Other M studio sure wasn't on my Game Awards bingo card
