We like Burnout Paradise here at SPOnG. In fact, even half-way through 2008, we think it's one of the games of the year. So, we're cock-a-hoop about the fact that the Cagney update is now up and ready for action.
Along with a variety of online updates and tweaks, we see the arrival of the custom soundtrack (for PS3) that everybody has been aching to use.
Other add-ins include:
New Freeburn Game Modes:
• Road Rage
Up to 8-player team event. One team must race through a series of Paradise City checkpoints. The other team must stop them.
Cue incredible chases and battling through the city, tons of voice communication as players co-ordinate their efforts.
• Stunt Run (vs)
Pull stunts to score points - hit barriers, billboards and ramps; ace barrel rolls, flat spins and massive airtime to score big. Everybody competes to simultaneously reach the biggest total. Hit your rivals to kill their scores and gain multipliers.
• Marked Man
A player is selected at random and everyone gangs up to take them down. The Marked Man scores for reaching the end point intact and taking anyone down along the way.
70 New Freeburn Challenges
• 70 new timed multi-part Freeburn Challenges
• Leaderboards for these challenges that log your best time (as well as those people who did it with you)
Vehicles
• Hunter Olympus
• A secret Criterion Car!
Details over at Criterion.

Agreed Game of the Year contender,
Pretty much most driving games are bland and the same old crap, but Burnout Paradise has re written the rule book, and am i right in thinking its the first Proper Sandbox Racing Game?
