An all-new IP for DS and Wii that captures the nostalgia of your neighbourhood playground.
EA Playground was first revealed early last month, but today EA has official confirmed the game's development for Wii and Nintendo DS.
In development at EA Canada, Playground features game that are easy to pick-up-and-play by fully capitalising on the unique control mechanics of both the Wii and DS. Players will find themselves swinging the Wii-mote to excel in tetherball, or blowing into the DS microphone to fire spitballs or battle friends and family in dodgeball.
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.
I like unique art styles but that game's uglier than sloth from Goonies.
Heh yeah not to nice looking but I'm sure EA is only gonna work on this game for only months just to get it out asap.
It looks kinda Niktoons like.
