Oh yea...I forgot to mention King Kong.
And actually....the games I currently own:
Kameo
Condemned
Oblivion
Dead or Alive 2
Call of Duty 2
Prey
Quake 4
As you can see only 2 out of my 7 games are ports and one of those was because I was desperate for a new game and the other was actually considered to be the best title on the 360 at the time.
Also there is a huge difference between a multiplatform game and a port. All of EA's are ports. _________________

Burnout has 10 extra crash junctions in the world tour mode, plus a heavily expanded online multiplayer system. You can also save, upload, and download replays from any of your races from Xbox Live. None of these are present in the current-gen versions. Did I forget to mention that the game looks gorgeous? I wouldn't just call that a rehash.
If you're angry about ports, have a look at Activision. They upped the resolution of GUN and Tony Hawk and that's about it. At least EA's games look like they're running on an Xbox 360. _________________

Don't forget they also enabled crazy anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering(which the 360 does on the fly) so in effect they did nothing.
At least EA implement HDR lighting in their re-jiggered conversions. _________________

I used to have shares in Activision so don't talk to me about rubbish like Tony Hawk and Gun...it makes me sick. Atleast EA have a good business sense and actually make money.
Also i've already said that Burnout Revenge on the 360 is a good game...very worthy of the console.....but i'll say it AGAIN.....for the biggest 3rd party publisher in the world EA aren't really doing much to advance the industry. They mainly rely on ports and rehashes of games for their revenue. They rarely (if ever) try anything new either it be a new property or an established one, if by some miracle they do....chances are they just bought out a company that came up with the idea and have already been successful with it....they just need that extra finance to get the next project off the ground.....that's where EA come in.
Also I love how EA have a new logo....EA HD.....heh like they're the only ones making their games in HD. Obviously whatever they can do to cash in or rope the gullible few that aren't in the know. _________________

Back in Megadrive/SNES era, I like EA. Now, they only make crappy games.

Big deal! Even the Xbox version of Burnout 2 has 15 extra crash junction than the PS2 version, and both those systems are the same generation.
