Released last year, "Dangerous Driving" was a great example of the spirit of the "Burnout" games of yesteryear. A sequel to "Dangerous Driving" is currently in the works and will be released this year, and from what little information we have so far, it looks like it will be a "Burnout Paradise" type of game.

Whereas the first "Dangerous Driving" was largely linear, albeit with plenty of destruction-oriented modes, "Dangerous Driving 2" is an open-world game. It boasts split-screen and online multiplayer, and, like most open-world racing games these days, allows players to run around the open world, enjoying the events, or just leisurely drive (or crash).

That's all we know so far. I'm still wondering why EA would abandon a game with as much potential as "Burnout Paradise"? For those who are still wondering why, this may help heal the pain. While you wait, here are some of the best PC racing games you can play right now.
