More On: Burnout: Dominator
The media of music is constantly changing. From Records to 8 track, to tape to CD to MP3, and now, songs by major recording artists are making their single debut on video game soundtracks. Granted, I'd be more excited if it was someone like Englebert Humperdink (Ok, I just like typing his name cause it makes me laugh), but I guess an angsty post-teen singer-songwriter doing this will probably make some waves somewhere in the music industry. I just hope the song is good for crashing cars to, because unless Avril is rendered into the game as your racing co-pilot, that's the only way she'll have a big impact on whats sure to be an awesome game.

“The Burnout series is an amazing, proven platform for launching the world’s biggest songs and artists, and we’re thrilled to be working with Avril Lavigne this year to help debut her new song “Girlfriend,” said Steve Schnur, EA’s Worldwide Executive of Music.  “From pop to rock to metal Burnout Dominator is all about attitude and rebellion, which makes it a perfect fit for the 33 artists.”

 

Burnout Dominator is an all-new installment of the legendary, multi-award winning Burnout series and challenges players to face off against a series of hot-blooded rivals in tests of reckless, aggressive driving. The game features an all-new “Maniac Mode,” daring players to take down other drivers and string together massive combos of the wildest driving stunts without crashing.

 

Burnout Dominator is rated E10+ with descriptor, Violence by the ESRB and is developed by EA’s UK Studio team in Guildford, UK.  For more information about the Burnout franchise, please visit http://ea.com or our press Web site at http://info.ea.com.
