This Day in Gaming 🎂
Today, we’re lighting 20 birthday candles (with an exploding Takedown crash!) for Burnout Revenge. This high-octane racer, originally launched on PS2 and Xbox 360 in 2005, famously turned destruction into an art form. It was the fourth entry in a series already known for speed, introducing “traffic-checking” — allowing players to shunt civilian cars like empty soda cans.
While the traffic-checking mechanic took some getting used to, I fondly remember the satisfaction of slamming rivals into buses and watching the ensuing chaos unfold in glorious slow motion. Burnout Revenge wasn’t just about winning; it was about humiliating opponents with “polaroid snap” Signature Kills. Truly a classic!
Celebrating game anniversaries in Australia:
– Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire (GBA) 2003.
– Soulcalibur II (GC,PS2,XB) 2003.
– Burnout Revenge (PS2,X360) 2005.
