Burnout Paradise = Top Game

Burnout Paradise, and i must say, its a top game. I forgot how much i enjoyed it. And especially with all the free support Criterion games are giving the game, it hasn't lost its appeal at all. I urge any of you, who do not have the game to beg, borrow or steal in order to get it.

The bike pack is good fun too...... now Criterion get on with making Road Rash

But make sure you make BLACK 2 first

Criterion Games has announced that the "Legendary Cars" pack, which features some of Hollywood's most famous, fantastical vehicles, will be bustin' to Burnout Paradise starting this Thursday. And bustin' makes me feel good.

So does the possibility of driving KITT from Knight Rider the Carson Nighthawk, the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard the Cavalry Bootlegger, the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters the Manhattan Spirit, and Doc Brown's DeLorean from Back to the Future the 88 Special.

All four nods to classic film cars in the "Legendary Cars" pack will cost you money as of February 19th. That's some amount of money, as far as we know

Now that we know that the Burnout Paradise Legendary Cars are being released this Thursday, it's time we learned how much we have to pay for a slice of 80's automotive history.

So how much will you have to pay in order to tool around Paradise City in a reasonable facsimile of K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee, the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, or the Delorean from Back to the Future? Well that depends on how you're willing to pay, partner. Three of the cars will be available come Thursday for 160 Microsoft points or $1.99 a piece, while one is a bit pricier at $3.99 or 320 Microsoft points. Can you guess which one costs the most?

It's the one we've been drooling over the longest, of course. The 88 Special, which channels Doc Brown's ride from the classic Back to the Future movie series clocks in at double the normal price, possibly due to its unique hovering action. It's two cars in one!

those who can't decide can also pick up all four Legendary Cars for the low price of 600 Microsoft points, or $7.99 real money points, which is a savings of $2, give or take. Me? Going to have to opt for the who shebang. As a child of the 80's, there is too much nostalgia here for me to pick just one.
