Criterion Games is releasing the demo for the newest installment in the Burnout series, Burnout Paradise. They have recently announced that the game's exact release date will be on January 22nd. The new game boasts a free roaming world with better graphics than ever. It has new modes, new cars, and new tracks but will that be enough to offer a new interest in the series?

This Thursday (December 13th), the Burnout Paradise demo will hit the Playstation Network, Playstation Store, and the Xbox Live Marketplace. This demo will allow you to explore 3 neighborhoods that are a part of Paradise City, play in 3 events (one of which include the new mode Stunt Run), and go head to head against your friends. The developers have recently posted a glance of a new demo map that will be available for play this Thursday. Just a little longer before you can start revving your engines and hit the Paradise City streets.
