Metacritic:

Burnout Paradise: 87
Burnout Revenge: 90

The Metascore doesn't lie. The Metascore has no biases.

Excite Truck, it seems, is £5 in my local CEX.  I might actually pick it up as well as something for the PS3.  Thank you!

That's true.  I looked at the first page of this thread again and there were a lot of Paradise suggestions.  Cheers.

Blur, it cost 15 bucks everywhere.

lol, it's funny because Metacritic offers the worst aggregate review services in the indusrty. GameRankings is infinitely better for many reasons: 1) No weighting system. 2) The ability to add missing reviews. 3) Doesn't use nearly as many low quality sources. 4) Doesn't insult people's intelligence by using a colour coding system. 5) Conversion system turning graded scores into a numbered score on the 10/100 point scale isn't totally wrong.

Why people still give Metacritic hits is beyond me but I digress. A list of suitable PS3 games and prices at CEX for you Kresnik:

• Pure (£5)
• Blur (£8)
• Burnout Paradise (£10)
• Split/Second: Velocity (£10)
• Modnation Racers (£8)
• Midnight Club: Los Angeles (£12)
• Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (£8)

Thanks for this :)

Do you have a personal recommendation out of these games?

Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the games listed as they're all cheap and of good quailty but personally I'd suggest: Burnout Paradise, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Blur.

If you ike Motorstorm you'll probably like Pure which is quite similar but you can only drive quad-bikes, still it's a fun game. 

I´d recommend Burnout Paradise and also Motorstorm: Apocalypse. If you are a PSN Plus member you can download it for free ;)

Test Drive 5. If that fails then Cruis'n Usa or Outrun 2. To play Outrun 2 you'll need a EU account to download off the EU store since Microsoft paid for it to be exclusive to Xbox in NA (At least that's the only logical conclusion I can come too). Or get the PS2 version.
