Newsweek's N'Gai Croal passes on his interview with Alex Ward, director of Burnout developer Criterion. There's a lot of interesting stuff in there about the next version of Burnout, but I really like that Ward stands with me in trashing Lego Star Wars:

I think people were very excited because it was Star Wars, but take that out of it.
The first hour's got to hook to hook me in. Just like a TV show. A TV
show starts a new season, you've got to show me the characters, you've got to hook me back into it. Lego Star Wars, didn't get it. Found it very hard, very fiddly, moving cranes, all that. Very tough first half hour.
