Link to CVG So, more of EA trying to take over the gaming world. And, if I'm honest, having EA on the box puts me right off a game so I'm gutted if they buy it as I then won't get BioShock 2! |

Well, that's your problem. EA do nothing wrong, they just publish the games. They actually publish the games devs want, they don't force them into making a basic FPS that they know will sell, like that Halo crap. Not quite Valve though. :x |

Weird but Brilliant

I didnt read the whole thing... But it depends on what they are planning to do with the games that worry me. God the EA Games One-Player mode is bad enough -_- Online would be worse. Aslong as they keep Take-Two's general basic ideas for some of the games.. i wouldnt mind as much. |

EA always turn great games (OK GTA has been going down hill with the Stories games but I'm sure 4 will be OKish) to sh!t, and I don't want to see it happen with Take Two as they make GTA, BioShock and Duke Nukem. Once they are done, I'm sure they will be tossed aside like so many others in the name of profit and pissing on the games industy for that profit. I can think of nothing worst than a new GTA every year, just before Xmas just because EA want to make another crappy game knowing people will buy it. |

They make new sports games each year because they change half of the teams every year. You don't have to buy them. It isn't like Pro Evo doesn't do the same. Yuo complain about that, but what do Nintendo do? They make a new game from the same series every year or two with the exact same game mechanics as the others on that platform. And then they give it 5 spin-offs. ¬_¬ |

Mario games come about every 6 years, Zelda about every 2-4 years, Mario Kart as a good few years and the last Smash Bros game was 6 years ago and they ALWAYS add something new to the seris to keep them new and to feel different from the last one. The same can't be said for EA, the shiter-oner of the games world who just up-date their games a little bit and market it as new. There is a lot of time between the big games for Nintendo, its only the likes of Mario Party that there is one pointless one every year. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mario_games_by_year What? And Nintendo update Zelda each time? Or am I mistaken thinking the plot has been save the girl/world. |

If you want to take the basic plot of boy save girl and world then I knew you would go to that level. Sure, that is the plot at it's most basic, but every story is different, and in a big way but you're to pig headed to see anything like that. |

Zelda: Guy saves girl Mario: Guy saves girl See a pattern emerging? EA: Play Golf EA: Play Football EA: Shoot people and customise your weapons/abilities in a hi-tech suit EA: MMO WW2 shooter/Medern shooter/future shooter. Hugely popular, too. Oh, and wait, what's that, EA noticably update graphics for games on the same platform. |

You clearly haven't played many Mario and Zelda games. If you had then you would know that they don't have to save the girl in every game. And EA do just make the same crappy games year in, year out. Just because they sell well doens't make them any good, just shows how many idiots out there but sh!t games. And no fucker can ever tell the grahpic updates for the console verisons of the games unless they look at the first one on it then then the last one. And even then its not by that much. |

Oh, right, like in Mario Party, where they play minigames mixed with annoying dice rolling sections that nobody could find fun. Or all of the other spin-offs? Well, some of the spin-offs you don't. And Zelda, what might that be then? There's 1, maybe 2 games. ¬_¬ |

I already said Mario Party gets pointless, EA style yearly updates... As for Zelda, in Link's Awakening you don't have to save anyones but yourself and you end up destroying the island, not saving it. Majora's Mask, your out to save your self as well. I think Four Sword Adventures as well but I can't remember. But, like I said, you picked up on the most basic part of the story, which most games use. |

Still, no princess in it. Its like at all adventure games and RPGs, the point is the save the world. You may remember that if hadn't been playing nothing but crappy FPSs and EA games. |

That made no sense...
Call Of Duty 4. Game of the year 2007. What else have I played recently? Command & Conquer 3, Guild Wars, Portal, Twilight Princess, Devil May Cry 3, Peggle. Only 1 EA game there. |

OK, I type fast and my spelling isn't even all that good, so what?! Call of Duty 4 wasn't the game of 2007, in fact I don't think it won any GotY awards, and if it did I'm sure it wasn't even close to the number that Super Mario Galaxy won. And I have played it and so have a few of my friends, all of which got bored by the end as it was just another FPS. And I'm sure C&C3 is from EA, I'm sure 1 and 2 were at least. |

Referring to Bioshock (which didn't deserve it) and Call Of Duty 4.
Phantom Hourglass also didn't deserve the award. Something else should get it. Anything else should get it. And Orange Box doesn't deserve best PC game. It's 5 games... But seriously, Portal and CoD 4 should get it all. Drake's Fortune should get Adventure. EA haven't taken ove the C&C series until very recently. Call Of Duty 4 is not just another FPS. Far from it and I'm sure a lot of people here will also argue that. IF you've played it from start to finish and not been engrossed at all, there's something wrong with you. Despite it's tough facade it's a very emotional game. EDIT: Actually, Bioshock can have Art Direction. |

CoD4, to me, wasn't that great. It was more been there, done that in FPSs that I always get. I will admit I didn't play til the end but that was becuase I was bored of FPSs and that game big time now and I don't need to play another one. And was that the only Game of the Year Award it won? I know SMG won a lot more than 1 and I'm not talking Wii/Nintendo only awards. |

Which other FPS's have you played like CoD4? The weapons are perfect, did you play it online? http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17305 http://www.joystiq.com/2008/02/08/call-of-...ive-achievemen/ http://goty.gamespy.com/2007/pc/11.html Steam was also advertising it as that. |
