EA announced today that its latest game in the Burnout franchise is now available in stores. Burnout Paradise was the coolest game at E3 last year and will be a big hit.

I spent some hands on time at E3 with the game and with the demo and this game is one of the PS3 titles I have been waiting for. The game has an entirely open world. To start a race you simply pull up to a stop light and spin your tires.

Also featured is an easy way to get your friends into the game with you. Burnout Paradise has an ESRB rating of E10+. The 10+ is because of the realistic car crashes.
