Where can I pre-order Burnout: Racing to the Moon?
I don’t know but the game is basically a rip off of that bizarre track from California Speed where you end up driving through a UFO. In fact, there’s a rumour the disc is actually a California Speed PSX disc with a Burnout sticker slapped on it.
By the way, amazing call with Eternal Darkness. I was thinking about the game last week and got a kick out of your article. Then I saw the news about the ESRB listing a couple of days later and said out loud, alone in front of my computer, that you had called it.
We discussed the possibility of another Eternal Darkness on our latest podcast that we recorded Friday. It should be up sometime tomorrow. My two co-hosts don’t seem to think there’s a chance of another one being made, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
