Big releases like Lost Planet 2 (PS3, Xbox 360), Skate 3 (PS3, Xbox 360), 3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3) and even a Game of the Year Edition (with 3D effects) for Batman Arkham Asylum.

Today marks the 15th birthday of Skate 3, a truly special entry in EA's seminal skateboarding trilogy, and the last true AAA skateboarding game.
Agreed. Skate 3, Def Jam FFNY, Black, Burnout 3, NBA Street v3, TimeSplitters FP, SSX3, Mirror’s Edge, etc etc. Fantastic era, and after that EA just dropped off completely.
Batman: Arkham Asylum's powerful intro paves the way to an excellent gameplay experience, even almost 15 years later.
