I really felt compelled to write out a list of EA games for a simple reason. I wanted all of you, the gamers who browse these forums, and peruse the reviewers' articles, to take a good look at the games that EA has made; from The Commodore 64 days, to the current generation of consoles, to the PC. I want you all to take a good, long look at this list, especially IF you consider yourself to be an EA hater. I want you to try and find one game on this list that you enjoyed. Just one. If you find multiple games that EA has made that have tickled your fancy in the past or present, then even better, but all I want you to do is find one game. I don't care if it was made by an EA Studio, or if EA was just the producer or distributor. I think this list will surprise you. It really surprised me to see how many of the games on this list that I enjoyed.

This isn't even a close to complete list that spans over 25 years. I did not compile this list for you to pick a game that you can't stand, or to comment on this list, if there is a game you don't like on it. I put this small list of EA games on here, for you to find one that you LIKED, and you can comment on that. I was blown away when I looked at this and saw, that there were more than a few on here that I have really enjoyed. There are favorites of mine that I intentionally omitted from this list. I hope that if you are an EA detractor, you can admit that there are EA games that you have enjoyed in the past, even if it means that you are mumbling praise of EA under your breath with no one else around. It's OK, they have made more than a few really good titles. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed making it.

The season is here and it has been here for a while now. The new batch of Christmas Candy(games)are arriving. There are so many titles to play. I hope that they all live up to, and dare to exceed expectations. I am already looking forward to pacing some of these titles out over a few months. I can not wait to play Mass Effect, Crysis, CoD4, MGS4, and Super Mario Galaxy. I am undecided on a few as well. I hope all of your gaming for the next few months is as fun as I hope mine will be. I am also thrilled to start playing the Bonus Mission Pack for Guild Wars, and The Orange Box. Merry Christmas.

It's my second year on the site. I am stoked. Nice to be an interested, but casual member. I can't wait to see how things shakeout for the consoles this next year. I really can't wait to see how PC games will look this year(The ones actually made to take advantage of DX10 and Vista that is). All in all, a pretty good year from 4/20 to 4/20.

Dreamfall. I just started playing this game and it's more like interacting with a movie than it is playing a game so far. The voice acting and cutscene camera work is awesome. The only drawback I see so far is that the camera during gameplay is a little buggy. The characters are awesome. I will post more when I get a little further in the game.

I have noticed in quite a few games though that the game testers don't seem to be doing a very good job of giving the game designers quality input though. Should any of us have to sit through games with sloppy a sloppy camera behind our character? I mean, isn't this the most fundamental part of gameplay? If you ruin the POV, you ruin the game. In sports, if an athlete doesn't stick to fundamentals, it ruins the performance of the team. In gamemaking this is much the same. I think gamemakers try in some cases to be too innovative and they lose focus of the things that make a great game great. I would like to see gamemakers take a step back and get the small things right before they try to create an epic gamespace. You have to sweat the technical stuff before you can tackle the creative side of the game.

Most of the reviews that I am seeing lately for the PC speak about bringing,"higher end systems to their knees." I totally disagree with what gamemakers are doing for games on PC's.

I am going to paint a picture. Let's say you just went out and bought everything you needed for your new PC gaming behemoth. You bought an 8800, 2 to 3 gigs of RAM, the 64 bit version of Vista, a crazy motherboard, and a great new sound card. You already had a great monitor, so you didn't bother with a new one. You are really excited about DX10, and the two new games you bought. After installing the OS, and getting rid of a ton of stuff on it, you get Vista to run with only 40 processes running while idle. It also only eats up 600 MB's while idle(There is a lot of sarcasm here, except for the 600MB...that's no exaggeration, either are the 40 processes, you started with 68 originally) then you realize...I have these two great new games that are going to look smoking on this machine. You do the install, and said games chug along as if your PC was two years old and ready for an upgrade. Smoke starts coming up out of your ears and a blood vessel bursts in your eye. You feel one of your molars crack from the tightening of your jaw. That's the picture I am trying to paint.

I have read reviews of these new games and they all say the same thing without directly saying it...WAIT TO BUY THE NEW OS AND NEW GAMES UNTIL THE HARDWARE PLAY CATCH UP...That is all.
