Well, I just checked and hell hasn't frozen over, pigs aren't flying, and the Buffalo Bills haven't won the Super Bowl. Even so, something must be amiss, because I can't stop playing a game by Electronic Arts.

Burnout 2 will forever be known to me and my friends as the first game that made us stop playing Halo religiously. With its highly addicting crash mode, where you wreak as much traffic havoc for money, and fine-tuned racing, it was near impossible to put
