Running scared?
How's this for a turn of events? It's 2011, and there's every reason to look forward to this year's Need for Speed game.
EA's racing brand is almost unchallenged - three words that, in the minds of some gamers, are more or less synonymous with 'racing game'. Yet the publisher still came close to wearing it out in the late 2000s with half a decade of derivative and occasionally risible street-tough tuner dramas.
But then came an experiment, in the form of the free-to-play Need for Speed World and Slightly Mad's credible semi-sim, Shift. And last year, salvation: with Hot Pursuit, arcade king Criterion arrived and blended its Burnout heritage with the open roads and lascivious licensed supercars of vintage NFS.
