Criterion Offering Burnout Paradise Legendary Cars Free In Harold Ramis’ Memory
This week we mourn the death of writer, actor, and director Harold Ramis. In memory of the man that many will remember as Ghostbuster Egon Spengler, Criterion Games is making the legendary cars for Burnout Paradise free today.
“Harold Ramis was a comedy genius,” the company said via Twitter. “He inspired us. To honour this legend, #BurnoutParadise #LegendaryCars are free today for #Xbox360.”
In that pack of four vehicles is the Manhattan Spirit, which is modeled after the Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1. You’ll also be able to pick up cars resembling the DeLorean from Back to the Future, KITT from Knight Rider, and the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazard.
The pack normally retails for $4.99. You can redeem your car pack from the console or the Xbox website.

Our Take
This is a touching gesture, and the sentiment accompanying the news echoes what many have thought and said about Harold Ramis in recent days. He will most certainly be missed.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
