Emm, well, they are the publisher who funded Command and Conquer. They did something revolutionary with The Sims, and are one of the few companies in the world not threatened with going bust.

EA make business decisions not games.

There are 5 cash cows for every one good game that they make, then that good game gets milked into a cash cow, but it's worth it. Sl@g them off all you like, but they make money, and the innovate at least one new product every year.

You just need to look for it :D

Thats what really gets my back up about them. They've really done sod all to deserve their success. They walk onto stages in shows such as E3, acting like they're so bloody great, when in reality, they wouldn't know how to make a great game if they were given instructions.

The only real title they release thats any decent is the Madden series. Even that can be taken as another souless update. It annoys me how a console has to have them on board, thanks to the fact that there are so many dopey mongs that fall for the BS advertising all the time.
I played the Medal Of Honor games on the XBox and was pretty disgusted at the "effort" involved. Especially after playing so many other FPS games that are tons better.

Its like they put together the first level of the MOH games with all these ideas in mind, then get bored with it and just dump in any old junk they throw together to make the rest of the levels.
I put on Rising Sun and once that attack on Pearl Harbour was over, the game might as well have finished right there. Me and my cousin were playing in co-op which normally improves things no end when you're fighting together, but it was such a struggle and a chore to play. We did about 2 levels, then the donkey went straight back on ebay.

I only paid like a tenner for it and that was cause I was desperate for a new FPS. All I can say is god bless the developers that actually want to entertain the players rather than just cash in with another latest craze.

...join 'em. Sorry, but I've never been in favour of them. However, I'll give some facts/views (briefly)...

PS2: Good games and graphics. Popular console. X-Box have done deals with PS2 'Exclusives'. Damn the price tag. Less powerful compared to X-Box. No internal hard-drive.

X-Box: Powerful console, great graphics. Younger than PS2. Some fantastic games. Now less expensive than PS2.

Winner? Tough to decide...

*drum roll*

Erm...I don't know. However, since I only own a PS2 (and GC), PS2 wins.

UW.

EA hold a 53% share of the console game market in terms of publishing.

Lots of money, no one is going to argue with them. It's safe to say the DC failed because they didn't support it, and it's why Microsoft had to do a little bending over to get them on Live :D

I agree. You just have to look at the fifa football series to see how long it takes before there is an improvement in the games. The only thing Ea are good at is marketing thats what has helped them become one of the richest publishers in the industry.

I'm talking about the architecture of the system. Dual Vector units, Rambus, DMAC etc, etc. The sort of stuff that makes little differnce to actually playing a game.

EA actually use one of the vector units for processing Dolby Digital 5.1 in their games, not using the full power for graphics. Makes you wonder what would happen if it was used properly.
