For a lot of people, the best news to come out of E3 was not only that Criterion were back, but more the fact that Criterion were back, and they were set to put Need For Speed back on the map.

Whilst down at EA's Guildford offices last week, we caught up with Criterion's Senior Producer, Matt Webster, to ask him all the burning questions, like: which Need For Speed did they take inspiration from for Hot Pursuit? Does the leak of NFS: Shift 2 detract away from their refocusing of the franchise? What did they do to get a franchise that had lost its way, back on track?

All those burning questions and more crop up. If you've not checked out our recent hands-on with the game either, don't forget to check that out.
