Criterion has been doing an awesome job providing consistent and quality updates for Burnout Paradise; hats off to those fine folks. Problem is, those guys must hate the Xbox 360, man. Last month, Criterion released a significant update for the PlayStation 3 version of the title, leaving Xbox 360 owners in the dust.

Well, the time has finally arrived -- Criterion has revealed that this update, codenamed "Cagney," is coming to Xbox 360 this Monday, August 4. This is a sizable update, too, so if you haven't popped in your Burnout Paradise disc in awhile, you're in for a treat. Three new online games modes, two new cars, a live news page and calendar, 70 new timed multi-part challenges, and a complete overhaul of the Online Racing System. 

Phew. I'm out of breath. For a full list of the updates, check out the official Cagney announcement. Who's down for playing some Burnout Paradise next week?

The only thing I would consider popping this disc in (assuming I were to actually own it) would be a nice and preheated microwave. You can preheat a microwave right?

That's a pretty cool update for something that's free.

Also, this free update is better than Eternity's Child for $5.

I was just thinking this week how I haven't played this in a while, and need to. This gives me a great reason to.

If they added crash mode I would definitely rent again...

Woah. I was just poping my disc in. I too have about 100 challenges to finish.

Cheers to Criterion for the updates. Can't wait for bikes. I almost traded this one in, but heard about bikes, and thought better of it.

don't forget the rumored planes!

AgentMOO... isn't when you click both bumpers in at the same time, but it's more like a sandbox form of crash mode. in a sense..
