I hope EA does this movie justice. Lately, that company has turned been churning alot of soulless cash-ins.

I can't deny that, but they have been turning out some good games too. Each year's Madden/NCAA is usually worth the money to a football gamer. The two hack and slash Lord of the Rings games were far better than any action gamer expected. Still, having "EA" on the label doesn't automatically make it worth buying. You have to be a more discerning gamer and do some research nowadays, there's just too many titles released in a month anymore.

I have hopes for the Godfather game, but the problem is, most of the free form GTA-vying efforts have missed their mark. The Getaway? Blech. True Crime? Beyond awful. Btw, there's a Scarface game in the works too...

I was a big fan of ESPN NFL 2K5, so it annoyed me when EA monopolized that market. Goldeneye: Rogue Agent was also a disappointment in that seemed to cash in on a great license.

EA is capable of real innovation (ex: Fight Night). I hope they choose creating better products over freezing out the competition.
