"Thursday, March 12, 2009 EA invited us to attend a little shindig at an upscale sports bar along San Francisco's Bay-facing Embarcadero, where professional gaming geeks went for a play date. The occasion? EA Sports line showing off some of their upcoming games, including three near-future releases for the Wii: Grand Slam Tennis, Tiger Woods '10, and EA Active, two of which are new "franchises" for the company."
Gaming Update's CM Boots-Faubert takes a look at the newest list of online game servers that game giant Electronic Arts is shutting down, with a focus upon the online Achievements and Trophies that gamers will need to work on if they want to unlock them before the April 13th shutdown.
What the heck is wrong with EA. Some of those games aren't even two years old. Hardly even a year and a half some of them.
And they only JUST put that simpsons game on psn and xbl, and they're pulling the plug already?
Yeah I'm glad I got that as a PS plus game because I'd be pissed if I bought that
EA need to change their business tactics, it's obvious they are bleeding money even with all the sports franchises they hold.

I decided to browse around the web for decent games that burn fat. What i found was Zumba Fitness, UFC Trainer and EA Sports Active.
"EA Sports Active was released on May 19, 2009; and an expansion of sorts, EA Sports Active: More Workouts, was released on November 17, 2009. Just yesterday, November 16, 2010, Electronic Arts released a full sequel to the original, EA Sports Active 2.
EA Sports Active has had 546 days of game-play data reported, while EA Sports Active: More Workouts has had 364 days of game-play data reported, through the Wii's Nintendo Channel.
How many hours have American Wii owners exercised using the EA Sporst Active games? Let's take a look...", says CoffeewithGames.
