New from me - it's a look at Wreckreation, the latest attempt at a Burnout (in this case Paradise) with the name filed off, by the devs behind the original. Is it more than Paradise with the serial numbers filed off? Well, there's a bit more to it than that, especially if you can play with friends!

Missing the Burnouts and Need for Speeds of the world? Well, @robcap.bsky.social thinks that #Wreckreation might just be the thing to fill the void. Check out his full review on P2 now. www.player2.net.au/2025/10/wrec...
