The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

The Cops and Robbers Pack is a downloadable premium content pack for Burnout Paradise that introduces a new online game mode to Burnout Paradise along with police variations for 33 of Paradise Cars. The new game mode is essentially a team based one-flag capture the flag. Players choose to be on either the Cops or Robbers team. Each team tries to take the gold to their base. If a player is taken down then the player that did so automatically receives the gold. The team that brings the gold to their base wins the round. The team that delivers the most gold wins.
