Burnout bikes arriving on Thursday

Time to increase the score.

Criterion plans to introduce motorbikes, wonderful motorbikes, to Burnout Paradise this Thursday.

The free update, codenamed Davis, offers a couple of bikes to race around on, as well as a day-night cycle that opens new event types such as midnight rides.

Criterion reckons there are around 38 against-the-clock races being added, plus 70 extra Freeburn Challenges and a fancy in-game weather system.

Davis is just one of many continual updates for the Burnout Paradise. Biplanes, PS3 Trophies and additional islands to explore are all planned for the future.

Head over to our Burnout Paradise gamepage for our review and on-going coverage.
