Battlefield 3's launch trailer is full of nuclear weapons, lost comrades, hostage situations, and many other action movie tropes, so we're holding onto our butts as tightly as possible as a result. Things get super serious in the Battlefield 3 launch trailer originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 21 Oct 2011 12:35:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink | Ema...
Earlier this year when EA announced that it won’t be selling Battlefield 3 through Steam, the world’s most popular online games distribution platform for desktops, it caused quite a stir among the community. While most folks were nonchalant about the whole issue, a lot of people got upset over the fact that they would have to install another game delivery platform (Origins) on their computer jus...
Az év egyik legfurcsább pere készülődik: az Electronic Arts egy kaliforniai bíróságon keresetet nyújtott be, mert sérelmezi, hogy egy másik cég, a floridai illetőségű Energy Armor az EA-éra hasonlító logót használ. A hasonlóság eléggé egyértelmű, de a játékkiadónak az sem tetszik, hogy a másik EA profi sportolókkal hirdeti a termékeit, akárcsak a kiadó a sportjátékait. Ami érdekes kifogás, tek...
Mikor a közelmúltban kiderült, hogy a három éve pletykált Syndicate-reload valójában valami FPS-es lövölde lesz... Eh, kit akarok átverni, mindenki tudta, hogy 2012-ben az EA nem kockáztat majd egy kőkemény buktát csak azért, hogy négyszáz megszállott élvezkedjen az izometrikus RTS-ként újragondolt Syndicate-en. Nem, az EA nem hülye, FPS-t csinálnak még akkor is, ha ezzel nyilvánvalóan megölik az ...

Oh, I hope this isn’t a sign of a dark, headline-writing times to come. I don’t want to spend the rest of 2011 writing ‘Game X Gone From Steam’ every other day. The latest departure from the packed ranks of Steam is EA and Bioware’s Dragon Age II – and right on the eve of the launch of its new DLC Legacy . Something which may be no coincidence. (more…)
EA did one of their financial phonecalls last night. I’m so glad I don’t have to do those, telling lots of people I don’t know that I spent all my money on gadgets and Chinese takeaway. But within their announcements that The Old Republic is out-pre-ordering even Battlefield 3, there was one even juicier tidbit of information. When measured by EA’s non-GAAP accounting methods , PC is making them ...
Eddig is keringtek pletykák az EA felvásárlási szándékairól a Popcap Games -el kapcsolatban. Ez hivatalossá is vált miután az EA kicsengette a csinos 750 millió dolláros összeget. A Popcap -nek köszönhetjük az olyan remek játékokat mint a Bejeweled , a Peggle vagy a méltán híres Plants vs Zombies csak, hogy párat említsek.
Az új munkakörnyezetnek köszönhetően remélhetőleg jobba...
Further proof that you should believe every rumour you read comes with the non-shock news that EA have bought PopCap. Perhaps the real shock here is for how much: $750 million. Man, Simon PopCap and family are rich tonight! (more…)
Making good on last week's promise , EA has released the official Scrabble application on Android. Weighing in at 18MB+, the game can be downloaded on any handset running 2.1 and up.

You sank my battleship! Oh those sweet, sweet words. We've been longing to hear them since we set up camp behind our iPad , and Electronic Arts has just answered our cries. That's right, the Battleship HD app is now available for download on your iOS slab, featuring a multiple-player mode, which pits you against friends (and presumably foes) packing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. It's also got...
I just had a hands-on demo with the hugely anticipated massively multiplayer role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic , but after an hour of watching self-described sizzle reels of prerendered and in-game footage of casually pirouetting Jedi and environments so full of foxfire and crepitating tails of energy, I couldn't actually make myself actually play the game. This isn't the Star Wars ...
Ten years after the original American McGee's Alice debuted -- ten years! -- its sequel is nearly here. With its June 14 launch just over a month away, I accepted an invitation to dive into its fractured Wonderland and play through the first of its five chapters. Although a decade has passed, it felt like I'd never left.
While the core game design hasn't changed much -- platforming interspers...
