Hollywood legend Harold Ramis passed away this week and the few folks left at Criterion Games (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/13/criterion-staff-reduced-to-16-as-ea-shuffles-studio-talent/) are going full stream by honoring him with a free car pack inBurnout Paradise (http://www.joystiq.com/game/burnout-paradise).

The "Legendary Cars" pack (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/18/see-what-youll-be-ruining-in-burnouts-new-dlc/) features homages of iconic whips from Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazzard, Back to the Future and, of course, Ghostbusters. These aren't exact replicas of the cars in question, but rather eerily-close copies. The car pack is available as a free download on both Xbox 360 and PS3 today.

Burnout Paradise, the last entry in Criterion's lauded arcade-inspired racing series, takes place in Paradise City and gives racers free rein of an open-world metropolis. Initially, the game only featured cars, but Criterion's post-launch diligence introduced motorcycles (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/12/cycle-complete-burnout-paradise-bikes-coming-sept-18/) and a completely new island (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/28/criterion-games-takes-us-on-a-tour-of-burnout-paradises-big-sur/) to explore.
