Known for her roles in Naked Weapon, Mission Impossible III, Live Free or Die Hard, and cameos in Around the World in 80 Days and Rush Hour 2, Margaret Denise Quigley will not only grace the action racing game's cover, but also star as Federal Agent Chase Linh in a plot that EA CEO John Riccitiello claims to be inspired by action films such as The Transporter.

Also noted is the announcement of the Need for Speed Undercover's release on the Apple iPhone. More gaming updates as we get them.
