EA does have tthree exceptions: Spore (expansion coming soon), The Godfather (2 is coming soon), and Mass Effect (sequel is coming by the end of the year). Beyond that, yeah, all rubbish. They could all be done better but they are all worth playing at least once.
Well, spore and Mass Effect were good b/c they came from Maxis and Bioware respectively, companies who continually make solid games. That's why I said I cringe, b/c EA seems to have their hand in just about everything, but how much of a hand depends. Mass Effect, although fantastic, was rushed, there's really no doubt about it. The game could have been more than it was, but Microsoft I'm sure had pressure w/ that too (major Xbox release). Spore, while intriguing and ambitious, didn't hook me the same way SimCity and The Sims did before it, but that's just me. I don't know, I guess I really shouldn't say I know that much about what goes on behind the scenes, b/c I don't, perhaps EA is a great company. From what I see though, unless they are simply backing another good company their games have become utter crap, and they try to ruin other companies games w/ useless securom, and other various decisions that seem soley based at giving the comp gaming world a big middle finger.
