EA Access is the beginning of the end. No more shall we be plagued by yearly updates of games we've already played and mere sports titles. The chains of 93' are starting to crack and soon we shall be free.

Watch this blow up in their face like Origin and Sim City 4. They've burned the ship before they've even gotten to shore pretty much.

guess which company took over the rights to NFL Blitz, as well as NBA Jam and NHL Hitz, from midway after it went under?

one of the things i hate most about today's video game industry is that EA colluded with the major sports leagues to ensure that the sports games that they make will be "realistic" sims where the only differences from year-to-year are the rosters. yeah, they made a new NBA Jam a few years back, but i don't see them making a new Jam, Blitz or Hitz for a while (also the PS3 and 360 versions of the new Jam were stuffed with DLC)

i just want to dunk from halfcourt and check players through the boards dammit

dad would come home for lunch in his navy chief uniform and mom would make him a BLT and he'd play donkey kong jr on the NES and i'd watch him :unsmith: DK jr was his favorite game - his only favorite

he literally never played another game after that - though i got him to look at the back to the future TTG games because he loves the movies so much

edit: no wait he tried playing the indiana jones game on the xbox and got pissed because the controller had more than two buttons

the man loves him some indiana jones

Speaking of EA, after the crushing disappointment and story telling crime that was Mass Effect 3, EA can go gently caress themselves.

The last game in the Burnout series came out on XBLA. It was called Burnout Crash, it was top-down, only had one game mode and EA would really like it if you forgot about it.

Along the sides of the road you'll find rows of parked cars. If you come at them at high speed and ace ventura your car inbetween them, the game rates you on how well you did it.
