An 800 MB demo for Burnout Paradise is now up on Xbox Live. But if you're stuck at work and don't play games for a living, allow us to brag a little and show you some in-game footage.
As you'll see, it's all good so far. We were recently at EA's HQ for a more in depth session and liked what we saw.
Here's a clip:
"Paradise is a very different Burnout game. The biggest change is that it's jumping on the free-roaming city bandwagon that every current-gen racing game seems to parade with such enthusiasm these days.
"Unlike your Test Drives and Midnight Clubs though, the metropolis in Burnout Paradise has truly been designed for a wealth of things to do inside your motor."

THQ and Kaos Studios' upcoming first-person shooter Frontlines: Fuel of War has popped up on Xbox Live today in demo form.
It will invade and occupy 1.69GB of your hard disk space before showing you a vision of a world ravaged by a global energy crisis, environmental decay, economic depression, and a lack of Wagon Wheels.
There's no immediate word on what the demo shows off specifically, but for more of an idea of what to expect from Frontlines overall, you might want to investigate Kristan's recent report from the frontlines of Frontlines.
His harrowing experience (at one point he had to walk from his hotel to a shop to buy a digital camera) includes information on the single-player campaign and the multiplayer, and a reminder that Kaos Studios formed out of the remnants of Trauma Studios - a former DICE satellite best known for excellent Battlefield 1942 mod Desert Combat.
So Frontlines could well be very good. You'll have a better idea once you've played the demo, eh?
Full version's due out on PC and 360 on 15th February with a PS3 version scheduled for April. ...by Published on December 13th, 2007 18:11

According to an NPD Group study, 63 per cent of the US population plays videogames.
The report, entitled Expanding the Games Market, found that the "heaviest" gamers are males ages 18-34.
Of the people who said they played videogames, 30 per cent claimed to have played more frequently this year than last, with 40 per cent spending about the same amount of time playing games each year.
The majority of gamers claimed that they saw playing videogames as a way to relieve stress. Both "light" and "heavy" gamers valued gaming as a family activity.
As far as casual gamers are concerned, the NPD study found that this group is made up of people on the upper and lower ends of the age spectrum and include a high representation of females.
"The new type of game experiences brought to the market over the past several years are succeeding in reaching a broader audience," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier....
"The challenge for the industry is that consumers are a fickle group, and with the great variety of options pulling at their limited free time, they're going to be easily distracted unless something really compels them to stay with gaming."by Published on December 13th, 2007 18:09

The environmental activist group Greenpeace International has launched a new video featuring iconic game characters as part of its campaign against e-waste.
The 90-second video has Microsoft's Master Chief, Nintendo's Mario and Sony's Kratos competing for the prize of a "greener" games console.
Greenpeace's latest campaign is aimed directly at the big three game console manufacturers - Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft - who it accuses of failing to "reduce the toxic burden of their products."
The group recently criticised Nintendo and Microsoft publicly for their policies and practices on toxic chemicals and takeback.
"Game console manufacturers are lagging way behind the makers of mobile phones and PCs who have been reducing the toxic load of the products over the past year," said Zenia Al Hajj, Greenpeace International's toxics campaigner.
"Game consoles contain many of the same components as PCs so manufacturers can do a lot more," she added.
Greenpeace is engaged in a campaign to persuade the electronics industry to eliminate hazardous chemicals across the board, believing that current environmental protection legislation does not go far enough.
"Nintendo is surprised by the content of the Greenpeace report," a Nintendo of America spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz in response to the criticism....
"Nintendo takes great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials, recycling of materials, etc. For example, all Nintendo products supplied worldwide are designed to comply with relevant global standards.
"In order to certify that Nintendo products comply with standards for hazardous chemical substances, Nintendo has established the Green Procurement Standards, which require our component suppliers certify that any parts including hazardous chemical substances should not be delivered, and Nintendo fully controls its products in the company.
"Nintendo is always actively looking at ways to continue to increase its environmental stewardship and holds this as a corporate priority worldwide."by Published on December 13th, 2007 06:45
