Why the Original Burnout Paradise Should Be on GOG
Burnout Paradise (2008) is one of the most thrilling arcade racing games ever made. With its open-world design, insane crash physics, and high-speed action, it redefined what a racing game could be. The original PC version captured the heart of fans with its raw intensity, tight controls, and a killer licensed soundtrack featuring artists like Guns N’ Roses and Killswitch Engage.
However, the original release has become increasingly difficult to access. The Remastered version, while improved in some ways, altered or removed certain features, music, and visual elements that made the classic version feel unique.
That’s why GOG should bring back the original Burnout Paradise, DRM-free and optimized for modern PCs—complete with controller support and the original licensed music. GOG’s commitment to preserving important gaming titles makes it the perfect home for this fan-favorite. Let’s give Paradise City the digital preservation it deserves.

Sonic Riders: Zero GravitySonic Riders: Zero Gravity is a hoverboard racing video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the PlayStation 2 and Wii. It is the fifth racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and the second entry the Sonic Riders trilogy. A port for the Xbox 360 was cancelled during development, while a sequel, Sonic Free Riders, was released exclusively for that system in 2010.
Gameplay in Zero Gravity is largely similar to its predecessor, with characters racing on different types of hovercraft called "Extreme Gear". In addition to the mechanics from the previous game, Zero Gravity adds a new gameplay system based around gravity that replaces the predecessor's "fuel" system. During the race, performing tricks and other actions will increase a character's Gravity Points, or GP. If players have accrued enough GP by the time they enter certain areas of the track, they will enter a Zero-Gravity Zone, where they can perform one of two maneuvers. A Gravity Dive will create a small black hole that points gravity forward down the track, giving the player a powerful free-fall boost that is further augmented by striking objects in the vicinity that the hole displaces, such as cars or signs. Alternatively, Gravity Control will alter the gravity of the course, allowing players to reach otherwise-inaccessible areas and shortcuts. Players can also use Gravity Drift to more easily maneuver around sharp corners.Action Fantasy Comedy

Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer"Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer" is the newest horse racing simulation title from Koei-Tecmo. While not the first title to do so, the game combines creative input from the Tecmo and Koei development teams. The producer notes that the development team wants to present a "refreshing and real" game. Therefore, members of the team traveled globally to visit horse racing tracks in Europe. Japan's Nakayama Race Track, for instance, will be recreated as close as possible in the game.
As the title suggests, players can enjoy traits found in either racing series. Gallop Racer stands as the Tecmo side while G1 Jockey forms the Koei side. Curiously, the naming for the intellectual properties are switched for the Japanese version, the title instead being "Champion Jockey: Gallop Racer & GI Jockey".
