Dance Central is hardly original

I like Criterion as much as anyone (I even worked for them for a little while) but NFS didn't look very good. Did the press see something we didn't?

'Original' basically means 'new IP' as opposed to a franchise or licensed title.

NFS looks great. Chase HD, as I keep saying. Who wouldn't want that?

I like how both the best console game is on PC and the best PC game is multiformat.
