News Battlefield 3's Gameplay Debut Is Short But Sa-weet
If we were Activision, we'd be shaking in our boots right now
If anything stands a chance against the Call Of Duty juggernaut, it's Battlefield 3. While this debut trailer is light as a feather in terms of content, we can't help but feel that this holiday's first-person shooter showdown is going to be bloody. Exciting isn't it?
It's the "will they, won't they" drama that's consuming the 'net now Gran Turismo 5 is actually a shipped product available on store shelves -- will DICE ever confirm the existence of a Mirror's Edge sequel? Last we heard the first-person parkour platformer had been scrapped, but EA's been pretty vocal about the importance of the franchise since then
Now there's perhaps a little more fuel to power the Mirror's Edge coloured fire. In a video tour of DICE's studio, studio manager, Karl-Magnus Troedsson, has confirmed the developer has &quo...
News EA Comments On Mirror's Edge Sequel, Franchise "Still Important" To Publisher

News Mirror's Edge 2 On Hold, Watch As We Weep Silently Into Our Pillow
Mirror's Edge was a sequel away from perfection
EA and DICE's brilliant first-person parkour title was so unique that it didn't get everything right first time around. We're convinced that with a couple of years additional development, and the benefit of hindsight, Mirror's Edge 2 could have been something magical. But the original launched in 2008...

News EA Prepping "Very Exciting" First-Person Shooter "Later In The Year"
Let's get any guessing or mystery out of the way first: EA's mystery first-person shooter title is Battlefield 3
There's no need for speculation, that's fact. Deal with it. In fact, we're so certain it's Battlefield 3, we're not even sure why EA are teasing it. Still, the story stems from EA's financial call last night. CEO John Riccitiello was...

Ooooft
That's expensive. EA's slapped a $14.99 price tag on the upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Vietnam expansion pack. They've also dropped us a brand new trailer. But the price - good grief the price. Although, to be fair, you do get a bunch of goodies with it. Check out the trailer after the jump and make up your own mind.
News First Day Medal Of Honor Sales "Great" In The US, Claims EA
Medal Of Honor has been touted as EA's "Call Of Duty-killer"

First Impressions Medal Of Honor on PlayStation 3 Multiplayer
Medal Of Honor's multiplayer is a strange beast
We actually think there's a lot to like about it. But at the same time, it's so very familiar. The game doesn't appear to have any personality of its own; and while it's certainly beyond competent, it's also agonisingly akin to Call Of Duty. Our 16-player hands-on demo saw us checking out the game's...

News So What You're Trying To Tell Me Is That Medal Of Honor Is Call Of Duty?
Oh look - it's a new trailer for Medal Of Honor
It features guns, shooting and some American-dude talking about war and stuff. It looks a lot like Call Of Duty. Which is actually a good thing we suppose. Though we kind of wish someone would make a shooter about big monsters and stuff instead of military men. Oh well.
