EA Announces Medal of Honor Heroes 2

Electronic Arts has announced Medal of Honor Heroes 2, a new game from the Medal of Honor franchise, designed completely for the Wii from Nintendo and the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. On both the Wii and PSP system, players have the option to tackle all-new missions in traditional single player campaign or engage in massive, 32-player online, continuous-joining multiplayer battles where they could jump into the battle at any time. The Wii version features full support of the Wii Zapper allowing for a more immersive experience than ever, claims EA.



In addition to a fully-fledged single player campaign, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 also features an all-new mode designed specifically for the Wii that simplifies gameplay for players of all skill levels, for easy pick-up-and-play action. This mode plays like an old-school rail shooter — the Wii moves you around, while you do your part—taking enemies out and achieving objectives. According to EA, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for the PSP will deliver the most comprehensive shooter experience to date, with robust single player campaign and on-the-go 32-player multiplayer capability that’ll allow players to battle it out, anytime and anywhere. From the same team that brought Medal of Honor Heroes for the PSP in 2006 (EA Canada), Medal of Honor Heroes 2 will be available this year for the Wii and PSP.

EA to Launch Crysis Soon!

Crysis is a next-generation PC first-person shooter from Crytek, the award-winning developers of Far Cry. A stunning technical achievement, Crysis combines incredible visuals, cunning gameplay and an epic story that challenges gamers to adapt to survive.



Global tensions have reached boiling point as the US and North Korea square off in the South China Sea. At stake: a mysterious artifact uncovered by a team of US archeologists. The North Korean government quickly seizes the area, prompting the U.S. to dispatch an elite team of Special Forces operatives on a rescue mission.



During the siege the true nature of the artifact quickly emerges, pointing to the existence of an alien presence on Earth, and ultimately the trigger for a massive-scale alien invasion. The battle to save Earth begins as the aliens’ flash freeze the tropics into a ghostly-white frozen landscape.



As gamers take up arms against the aliens, they will be outfitted with customizable weapons and a high tech Nanosuit, allowing them to adapt their tactics and abilities to a hostile, ever-changing environment and a mysterious enemy.


Powered by CryENGINE 2, Crysis delivers the ultimate DX10 gaming experience for the PC, including unparalleled graphics, special effects and artificial intelligence. The game is also scaleable to deliver a breath-taking FPS experience for older DX9 PCs.

EA and Steven Spielberg Get Together to Develop Original Games

Electronic Arts has revealed the first details surrounding two of the three new original intellectual properties in development at EA Los Angeles (EALA) in collaboration with Academy Award winning director and producer, Steven Spielberg.

Steven Spielberg and Louis Castle, the Vice President of Creative Development at EA Los Angeles, enjoy a game on Nintendo Wii.

"I am a gamer myself and game development has always intrigued me,” said Steven Spielberg. “Now I’ve been able to jump in and do it, enjoying the creative collaboration with the EALA team on our first two games and I feel we have two incredibly unique projects in development. I am truly enjoying the creative collaboration and we hope that gamers will be as excited as we are about what we can bring to the medium through our shared vision.”

As an exclusive for the Wii from Nintendo, the first of the two projects will allow for players of all ages to compete in over a hundred challenging, action-packed interactive games that take blocks to a new level of creativity and fun for single player, co-op, and versus gameplay. Additionally, use the Wii remote to build your own fun games and structures or turn the same Wii remote into a destructive tool to bring them crashing down.

“Steven’s vision as both a storyteller and a gamemaker makes partnering with him an incredible experience,” said EA's General Manager, Neil Young. “Together we’re making games that are unique and that we feel will each move the medium in their own way. Through our partnership we are delivering games that are not only engaging and compelling with interactivity, but we hope can also move people emotionally."

The second, and more ambitious project in development, is a contemporary action-packed adventure that puts you in the leading role of an emotional journey where your actions tell the tale. Set against the backdrop of an epic story, the game focuses on a touching and ever-changing relationship between you and a mysterious female character who holds the key to many futures. The game is in development for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
