EA to publish games for the Mac
EA has announced that they will begin supporting the Mac with games starting next month. Soon after sports titles such as Madden 08 and Tiger Woods 08 will make their way out. I wonder what kind of a market there is for them? They seem to grudgingly release games on the PC and that has a much larger base to draw from. I wouldn't imagine there would be many potential sales but analysis must've shown they could profit off this decision....

Heading towards the true multiplayer experience
With the recent news from EA that they are shooting for Fifa 2010 to have the ability online of 11 individuals vs 11 individuals, it brings up whether that is the directon they may be headed in other games such as Madden or NBA Live.

Nascar 08 developer walkthrough videos
I'm far from being a fan of Nascar, and I've rarely played the titles from previous years. Still the jump to Next-Gen makes this game seem rather enticing. While the videos so far have made it look like it could be fun and exciting, I still wonder if the game could keep my interest for very long. I'm more of the Need For Speed/Burnout type of racing game fan. Click the links below for the videos. Developer Walkthrough #1 Developer Walkthrough #2 Developer Walkthrough #3 Multiplayer...

The uproar over corrupted 360 roster files
With the recent Xbox Dashboard update it seems that many roster files were intentionally corrupted. At the same time, specific consoles from the distributors were locked out. You can read up on the details here. This in effect would keep people on the 360 from transfering saves (which include rosters) from one console to another.

The first trailer for EA Sports Nascar 08 has been released. I've never really gotten into the Nascar games, but there is something about this year's title that intrigues me. I'm guessing it's the next-gen graphics and 16 players online that is catching my attention. This trailer makes it look pretty exciting. (Trailer removed as the game has been released) ...
