Burnout Demo coming Dec 13th

Now, I've never been a huge racing game fan. I haven't bought a racing game since i picked up a Burnout game for the Gamecube off some used game rack at blockbuster. Needless to say, the game wasn't good at all. The game was ridiculously hard because it had you avoiding crashes to try to reach the next checkpoint within the allotted time. Oh yeah, you had to win the race too. I refused to play a racing game ever since. Ok, maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but I just haven't had any interest in racing games since. But it may be Burnout that once again turns me back. This next Burnout, Burnout Paradise, is a free world game that can switch between offline and online play flawlessly. Its like that one online racer for the 360 (shows you how much I care about racing games) except for all of the issues that plagued it. What was that game called again? Ahh who cares, back to the point. Burnout Paradise looks like a very innovative racer that may change the way racers are made from now on. Hopefully this demo, which comes out December 13th, will be good enough for me to warrant a buy for this game.
