EA apparently have themselves a louse. an alleged, anonymous blog purporting to belong to somebody currently employed by EA’s Bioware Mythic studio has revealed some pretty damning news about why Warhammer Online failed.

There are some who contest that arbitrary review scores don’t really matter, and that it’s the meat of the review that counts. I’m one of those people. Apparently, I’m pretty damned wrong because it looks like they do. A lot. The game has been receiving a mixed bag of good to mediocre reviews – and it’s directly affected EA’s share …
FIFA 11, the latest installment of EA’s football series, has apparently broken the record for the highest number of units sold for a sports game at launch. In under a week, it sold 2.6 million units in Europe and the United States. That’s quite a lot, and EA have decided to reward all the people who bought it with a …
If you haven’t already heard its name, let me tell you about Dead Space Ignition. The game is a downloadable interactive comic prequel with hacking mini-games for Dead Space 2 that takes place just after the first Dead Space.

EA managed to get on quite a few people’s bad sides recently when they launched their Project Ten Dollar concept. If you didn’t already know, Project Ten Dollar is EA’s idea to only make the first purchaser of a game …
We’ve already reported that APB crashed and burned, and in so doing took its development studio, Realtime Worlds, with it. There are all sorts of rumblings going on at the moment that studios want to pick up the remains of the failed MMO, but until that happens what do people do who spent money on the game? They don’t get …
One of the top titles from E3 was EA’s upcoming orgy of violence, Bulletstorm. The core idealogy behind Bulletstorm is not about you surviving a desolate wasteland or locust invasion but more that you are the invasion yourself. You’re the baddest ass on a planet of bad assery and the entire game is based around how artistically you can destroy …
