Electronic Arts will later this week officially announce a brand new title for Nintendo's next-generation consoles. The game, tentatively titled EA Playground, is developed by EA Canada and is set for a fall release on both Wii and DS. Each version will take advantage of the unique attributes of the systems to deliver multiplayer-enhanced experiences inspired by such titles as Wii Sports. IGN recently chatted with EA Playground's executive producer, Dave McCarthy, to learn more.
New audiences demand new considerations, and at the Vancouver Film School's recent Game Design Expo, Dave McCarthy, executive producer of Electronic Arts' Fusion business unit, used two examples from his company's experience -- EA Sports' Family Play game modes and the development of the family-friendly EA Playground, to illustrate how new control schemes and a shift in development focus can help developers build games for everyone.
Gameplayer's review of EA Playground goes to town on the latest weak EA Wii exclusive.
"Playground resembles the bitter revenge of a game designer who had his heart set on getting the Bratz license."
If EA is correct that casual gamers don't read reviews, they might want to start reading them.
In response to US Prosecutor Kym Worthy's list for the Detroit News of games parents should avoid getting their children this Christmas, MEGATONik could not help but put together a revised list of games for parents to avoid at all costs this holiday season
I've read a few reviews and now this list and I've come to the conclusion that that site is worthless.
The reviews give opinions like "it rocks" or "it F***** blows" with little or no reason behind it.
and now this list... it makes no sense and isn't even funny. either make a real list or make your fake list funny.
but the 5million 10 year olds who own the Wii will love it.
looks....like a PS1.5 title :S
wow.. games that can actually be fun to play.. and nothing more.. is that what a game is supposed to be? I will most likely be getting this for my nieces and nephews.. they will have a blast playing this game.
I feel sorry for those who judge a book by its cover. Everyone knows that Sonic on the PS3 and 360 looks better than Sonic on the Genesis, but guess which console has the superior Sonic game.
