If you read a few of my previous opinions I expressed here and there about EA's games, then you surely know I am not quite crazy about them. On the other hand, I enjoyed the Battlefield series a lot, so I can't say I have something against EA. I only hate them for what they have done to the NFS series, but I also love them for a lot of things, including the great PC version of Burnout Paradise.

Anyway, while Burnout Paradise is set in a fictional city that doesn't look different to a bunch of large cities you can find all over the world, when I say Battlefield 1943, things are clear - we're going back in time to fight in the WW2 once again! Yes, yes, it's "just another war game" for some, but it's much more than just that, for the ones really into it, including myself.

The story goes like this - using the new Frostbite engine and offering full 24-player support, Battlefield 1943 features three maps from the Pacific campaign: Guadalcanal, Wake Island, and the notorious(and bloody) Iwo Jima.

Just as before, you will be able to engage in team-based infantry combat, also having access to a bunch of vehicles, including tanks and planes.

OK, OK, but WHEN? According to official sources, the game should be released this summer for the PC, as well as through Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store, so console gamers should also be happy, less those who own a Wii...

Looking to get a new nunchuck for Wii? Well, next time you should be careful with it, especially if you're going to get a colourful nunchuck for Wii, namely the FunChuck from Logic3, pictured below...

Sooo...what's special with these nunchucks? Damn, sorry, FunChucks, FunChucks! You don't like it when somebody calls you Jake instead of Joe, so I am sure Logic 3 won't take this lightly, either. Guys, you have my excuses! Can we continue?

For $20, you can get a colourful FunChuck, to do exactly what you do with your current nunchuck for Wii, only that, this time, when somebody comes to your place, he (or she) will surely go "Wow! Where did you get that?" - and you'll get a "karma boost," of course!

The FunChucks will be available in red, orange, green, white, yellow, and - my prayers have been answered - black! When talking about controls, the FunChuck will features the 8-way analog stick and Z button it should, but also a C button. Even more, it will be able to connect to the Wii remote.

At last, one unfortunate fact - as we speak, the product page is not up, so be sure to check back Logic3's website in a few days to get yours, if your old nunchuck for Wii is showing signs of weakness or - even better - you need to bring some color into your Wii corner of the room.

Hell, yeah! Boys and girls, we're finally home! Touchdown! End of game! Ownage! "Home, but where?" Well, you may ask that, and here's your answer - "Take me down to the paradise city. Where the grass is green. And the girls are pretty. Take me home" Got that? No? OK...

Formerly known as Burnout 5, Burnout Paradise is THE GAME we've been waiting for ages to arrive on the PC. Now, North America just got it, and Europe should also get it this weekend. Damn, it's good to have friends flying to the US pretty often! The idea is that I just got the game earlier today, and PlayerzBlog will be one of the first to review the PC version of Burnout Paradise. No, this is not a review, but here's what you should expect:


- Awesome graphics, while system requirements remain decent
- Incredible soundtrack(featuring Guns N'Roses, Twisted Sister, Faith No More, Avril Lavigne, and many others)
- The ability to play the game across multiple monitors to enhance widescreen playing (not for me, sorry, but sounds great, at least in theory)
- Reliability (no crashes today, but I'll tell you more in the review)
- Insane online action (only 8 players in the whole Paradise City per game, it seems, but you won't get bored)
- 4 bikes and 75 cars
- Some smart in-game advertising (watch out for those EVGA roadside advertisements!)

That's it for now, but I must tell you one thing - Burnout Paradise should be the ultimate proof that all those involved in the Need for Speed: Undercover failure game should resign, NOW. Stay close to us, by the end of the week, we'll give you our extensive Burnout Paradise PC review!
