Criterion Games have released details of two more of the nine cars coming with Big Surf Island. These two you will have to work for, they will be unlockable within Big Surf Island.

The first is the Hunter Olympus Governor. This is the Olympus with a twist, not only does it feature a camo livery, but it also comes with BOOST! Stunt Boost to be precise. They go on to state that this vehicle is virtually impossible to wreck, so it must be as tough as old boots.

The second is the Carson Annihilator Street Rod. This is a Speed Boost car. To see the pics of these cars head over to www.CriterionGames.com.

On Friday at 4pm BST Criterion Games answered the most frequently asked question about the Island.

When will the Island be released?

The answer is the 11th of June 2009, you can see new island footage over at www.CriterionGames.com along with all the latest from the team.

We still don't have details of the price of the Island, or what Achievements will be included with the DLC.

But, there are loads of things we do know...

Thanks to hn6 for posting this up on YouTube, now all of you can enjoy the footage even if you aren't on Xbox Live.

Enjoy!

Nero Angelo has written another guide on how to keep up with the fastest racers in Burnout Revenge. It is a in depth guide that requires that you are already familiar with boost and drift jumping.

This guide is called: "The theory of Speed: Revenge" and you can read it here.

For the first time since May 2008 Criterion Games has released new information, screens and video of Big Surf Island.

We have been in touch with Weil3r that originally wrote some brilliant guides for Burnout 3: Takedown that was published at burnoutelite.com. Since that site is no longer active we asked Weil3r if we could re-publish them here on BurnoutAholics.com.

We got his permission and the guides have now been made available. You can access them directly from the links below:
