Valve has already put Unreal Tournament III on sale until March 15 and let folks play the full game for free this weekend. However their regular Steam weekend update is still in play and today they have put 2D Boy's terrific puzzle title World of Goo on sale for just $4.99. That's 66 percent off its normal price of $14.99 on Steam.

That's not all the Steam news today. The official Criterion Games web site has posted up word that their racing game Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box will soon appear on Steam. The racing game was released in full by publisher EA last month in a trial version. You can download the full trial game right here at Big Download.

The Burnout series has been tearing up the streets on console systems for a long while, but it finally makes a PC debut with Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box. This version includes the original Burnout Paradise that released on consoles last year with a boatload of extras. In addition to improved graphics, there are new vehicles (such as motorcycles), new game modes and an offline party mode. Plowing full speed down the streets of Paradise City has its unexpected bumps, but this could be one of the best driving games available right now.

Criterion Games's first foray into PC games was released earlier this month with Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box. At the time, Criterion announced that they were planning to add even more content to the game via paid add-ons. However it looks like PC owners will have to wait while console owners get first crack at the content.

Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will be able to download and purchase the Legendary Cars pack on Thursday. The pack comes with four new vehicles that look more than vaguely like certain famous movie and TV cars. However, Criterion has posted up a note on their site that says, "We'll be back with PC release information soon, but expect the Legendary Cars to be available to you guys in about a month." Oh well.

Last week Criterion Games released the PC version of Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box. This is the first PC game from the developer, as it collects all of the content of the 2008 console arcade racing game with the later free downloadable expansions and the new Party Pack multiplayer mode.

The release of The Ultimate Box will not be the end of Criterion's plans for the game. They plan to release a number of paid DLC packs in the next several months. While there is no specific confirmation yet on if any of these expansions will be made available for the PC, Criterion is working on three car packs for the game that will add a number of new vehicles to the streets of Paradise City. The Legendary Cars Pack has cars that look more than a little familiar while the Toy Cars pack will let you drive minuature cars on the streets. The Boost Specials will add two more extra fast moving cars.

Criterion also plans to add an all-new driving area to the game, Surf Island, and just this past weekend announced their plans for the new Cops and Robbers mode, which sounds on the surface to be an awful lot like the Need For Speed series. Again, Criterion has not yet announced when any of these content upgrades will be available, how much they will cost and if they will be made available for PC owners.

This trial version of Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box allows you to explore the streets of Paradise City with a few cars from the full game. It also has access to online servers where players can compete in different races and challenges. A key can be purchased from within the trial, which unlocks the rest of the game.

Criterion Games has just released the PC version of their arcade racing game Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box (and Big Download will have the full free time-limited version of the game available for download later today). However the game's new in-game news network is apparently dealing with some launch day problems.

According to the Criterion Games web site, some PC players are "....having trouble accessing the Criterion Games Network (our in-game browser pages)." Criterion states, "...we're also attempting to resolve this and will post as soon as we have progress to report. We hope to get this working in time to bring you news of a new pack for 2009 tomorrow." This issue apparently doesn't affect actually playing the game itself

Dust hasn't even had a chance to settle on Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, but there's already a small patch available. The patch updates the game to the latest version, but no notes are available at this time.
