Without wanting to sound too much like a trashy tabloid newspaper this early in the morning (don’t worry, the proper writers will be along in a bit) it appears that we may have uncovered Criterion’s new Need for Speed game for EA. Or, at least the title of it.
A post on SA lists a block of brand new domain registrations, all based on the Need For Speed franchise. Any (or none) of them could belong to whatever the Burnout team are doing next.

I’m plumping for Eliminator – sounds the coolest. Time Attack and Boost sound rubbish, but let’s give EA some free market research: let us know your favourite in the comments and we’ll be sure to let them know which ones suck. Just don’t vote for Time Attack, please.
