Gotta love Burnout Paradise - at any point in time it seems that Criterion’s open-world racer is on the verge of receiving new (often FREE) content updates which demand that the game stays at or near the top of our pile. Next up toy cars. Seriously…

The Toy Cars Pack comprises nine of Paradise City’s vehicular stalwarts, all of which have been squidged , squeezed and cutified into a comedic version of their former selves. See if you can recognise the Carson GT Concept P12, the Kreiger Racing WTR, the Hunter Takedown 4x4 and the Hunter Manhattan from the only piece of artwork supplied.

Whether the motors’ chubby new looks impact on speed, handling or your hard-man-of-streetracing reputation remains to be seen - but it’ll surely be fun finding out. Similarly unknown is the price (hopefully non) and release date (hopefully soon) information. 2009 is all they’re saying at the moment, but maybe more beans will be spilled in the announcement they’re apparently making at the end of this week. Watch this space, then.
