Either EA's CEO is suffering from food poisoning and mass hallucinations, or the company's not entirely in good shape. News has just been released stating that EA has cancelled the follow-up to Ultima Online (despite it being nearly complete); any development plans for a Harry Potter game have been halted, not to mention several other projects. There have also been somewhere around 150 firings within EA's various development houses.

It's a sad, sad day when EA shows weakness.

I prefer SSX to 1080 myself, despite how badly I wish I could say otherwise. I just loved SSX; it was such a fun game.

Edgy, I agree with your Champ Manager point. Some of my mates play it and think its amazing. To me it is quite possibly THE most boring game ever! Give me a decent F1 game any day.

Going back to the EA thing, can someone answer me this:

Apart from the graphics, how have the FIFA games changed since the first one was released in '97 (i think)?

edgy stop making comments on championship manager as it is a game made purly for the "fans" . maybe there are a few non-football fans who play it but there are always exceptions. anyway as u r not a fan, u will not notice the differences as u see the game of football as being a bunch of idiots running after a ball.

yeah i know everone is entitled to opinion and ting, but i is distressed with u dissing masterpieces.

1080 is brilliant. SSX looks good though.

To people who keep telling me how Championship Manager games are always different and are amaxing....Championship Manager games are remakes of a TEN year old game (if not older) and have the least amount of originality in them that any game could ever have!
