Not many people like EA games, and there strangle hold on the industry - now they've just become larger. EA have officially bought 19.9% of Ubisoft - [URL]http://ds.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=1440[/URL] to see it in full.

Are you pleased?

Nothing has been announced so far, although the game ends with a "To Be Continued" and there are plenty more comic books to adapt. It was meant to be a trilogy of games, as was Beyond Good & Evil.

XIII had one of the most fun single-player modes in any FPS I've played. Fun to play and with a good storyline to keep you hooked.

Multiplayer was pigshit though.

The teammodes were great online with the right people, same with Ubi's other online games.

XIII was a steenky mess of a game.

We really don't need a sequel to that tossfest.

Hopefully Ubi can show EA how to have a credible online setup.

EA won't tell ubi-soft how to make their games, ubi-soft will make them how they wish. What's good is that EA know how to market and may ressurrect old franchises. I can see them being very fond of XIII and...

Beyond Good and Evil 2 here we come!

I'm waiting for Dringo to tell us again how this is good for Nintendo.



Personally I can't wait to listen to the hilarious DJ in Chaos Theory.
