Burnout: Paradise - "Panama" > "Paradise City"
I have been playing hell of Burnout: Paradise this weekend.
It's amazing how much I'm enjoying it, as I hate driving in general*, and driving GAMES specifically. But Criterion manages to take all the things that normally drag other games down - the simulation style controls, crashing once ruining your good time, and generally just smashing your opponents - and make it their trademark. Well done. Add on all the free content and DLC that they've put onto their platform and Burnout: Paradise quickly becomes an amazing game and an even more amazing achievement for a developer.
I do, however, have one beef with the game: The soundtrack.
Luckily, both platforms allow you to play your own damn music.
So presented here, in full, is my soundtrack for Burnout: Paradise. I shuffle the hell out of them, so pay no attention to the order. But know that all 48 of these tracks are perfectly suited for driving the hell out of cars.

** Despite "Paradise City" by Guns N Roses being on disc, Panama by Van Halen is the perfect song for this game. PERFECT.
*** Look, I seriously don't even want to hear about it, okay?

Beegees and Wutang in one mix. You're either crazy or oddly brilliant. Can't figure out which just yet.
Re: ***; I understand completely. No explanation necessary.
The UNKLE remix of the Queens of the Stone Age track 'No One Knows' is still my favorite song for driving games, as it has been since Burnout 3. I've actually mostly been playing Paradise with the included soundtrack, mostly for the classic Burnout tracks. Though I did leave 'Girlfriend' turned on.
