E3… it’s pretty much Christmas for gamers! The only difference is unlike Christmas you don’t get to play with the new things straight away.. sometimes they even re-appear for numerous years before release! Fortunately EA have often been solid with their release schedules. We take a look at EA’s 2011 EA line-up and consider the ups, downs and what to look out for from this gaming giant.
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.
Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.
The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.
Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

Obey, hide or fight the system. It's all in your hands. And remember: "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."
"Ministry of Truth: 1984" is an upcoming political dystopian simulation game developed by Ukrainian studio 'False Memory Dept.'
Immediately when seeing the title I thought bf3 and mw3... Mw3 has a lot more left potential reveal left than bf does.. So in terns of FPS? Coul be overshadowed!
I like how EA have turned themselves round, a few years a go I wouldn't even click on anything with "EA" in the title because I knew it would just be another annual release of some sport game. But now with Dead Space, Battlefield and Mass Effect under their banner I feel like I need to start paying attention to their games.
This isn't the final line up. On monday ea/insomniac collabaration will be unvieled.
I would like them to announce what we can expect next year.
Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Star Wars TOR, SSX Deadly Descents, a butt ton of EA sports games, a possible Insomniac multi-console title and whatever else they decide to announce... yeah, they'll stand out. They're one of the premier 3rd party publishers.
