Criterion Games

Criterion are a UK-based videogame production company that is famous for creating the hit racing series "Burnout" and the award winning first-person-shooter "BLACK." They were given the keys to EA's popular game series- Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and recreated the game itself. For their "Burnout" collection of games, Criterion has always put a lot into the soundtracks, creating interesting themes for their in-game menus. For the last two entries in the "Burnout" series as well as the newest "Hot Pursuit", Criterion collaborated with EA Trax to bring a number of current popular songs to the games that could be listened to while racing. These songs often related to the "Burnout" brand name, with song titles such as "This Fire" in the soundtrack listings. Read more on Last.fm.
