Driver: San Francisco is coming August 30th, 2011. The older Driver games are what really shaped some of the ways modern driving games have went - open world and awesome. Grand Theft Auto 3 came out a bit later and redid that old formula of Driver - adding in people, guns and basically everything that isn't a car, as well.
While Driver may not be very influential anymore, it still holds a great place in history and in my memory as a great series.
Burnout is a series that has been ongoing for many years now; it has gone through many different sequels and things before it has gotten to where it is today. The funnest thing about any of these games is the crash mode; your entire goal is to crash cars to cause as much damage as possible! I remember back when my brothers and I would compete to see who could get the most damage on the traffic.
The damage isn't done in a bad way; there aren't any gruesome dead bodies flying out of cars or anything; instead, there are simply cars that look like they might have someone in them (because they're driving), but in reality they're just cars. Burnout 3 is the game my brothers and I played, I believe; this one was released many years ago, but it can still be really fun today!
Burnout Paradise was the last Burnout to be released; it was apparently some sort of open world video game, but I haven't played it. I hope it's fun, because I might be getting it at some point in the future. Does anyone recommend that I get it?
The next Twisted Metal game is coming later this year, October 4th to be precise. I don't remember if I've played a past Twisted Metal game, but this one looks awesome! Car games are pretty cool :D
