Electronic Arts divulges clues to
Spielberg games

In a move aimed primarily at whetting the appetite of gamers heading into
this week's E3 Media & Business Summit, Electronic Arts unveiled several
details on two games it is developing through a partnership with Steven
Spielberg.
Although he stopped well short of revealing the names of the two titles, Neil
Young, general manager of Electronic Arts Los Angeles, noted that one is an
action puzzle game for the Nintendo Wii that was inspired by a meeting
Spielberg had with renowned developer and "Mario" creator Shigeru
Miyamoto at last year's E3.
The second game, code-named "LMNO" and for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and
Sony PlayStation 3, is described as a contemporary epic action-adventure
story. "The 'LMNO' product is probably more of what you might expect from a
partnership between Steven Spielberg and Electronic Arts in that it focuses
on a relationship between the player and a nonplaying character," he said.
Young was coy about the release dates for any of the games, noting only that
the action puzzle game, code-named "PQRS," would be out during EA's
current fiscal year, which ends in March.
"There's a lot of software coming into the marketplace for the Wii, and we
want to make sure that not only is it a great game but that it's got the right
commercial window that it can own," he added.
As for the second game, Young said it would not be released in the current
fiscal year, while the third game in the deal signed in 2005 still is at the idea
stage.
Whether these Spielberg-inspired games eventually can end back in the
realm of Hollywood as movies or other entertainment, Young said: "I actually
think in both cases there are great opportunities to move the properties
across different media. At EA right now we're concerned with trying to build
intellectual property that can move in a connected way across media, and
these projects are no exceptions."
Spielberg does have a track record in the gaming industry through
DreamWorks Interactive, and while the division lost money before it
eventually was sold to EA in 2000, it was the original developer for EA's
tremendously successful "Medal of Honor" series.
Young said Spielberg understands that you can't simply borrow techniques
from film and hope that it will make a good game.
"Steven respects games as a unique medium, and he understands very well
what defines it, which is interactivity," Young said. "When Steven Spielberg
introduces ideas that we collaborate on, they're' always framed by an
understanding that above all else, the experience has to remain interactive
and it has to remain compelling and fun."

Things not to do with an open fan:
Don't pee directly into an open fan.
Never stop an open fan with your tongue.
Playing "pin the tail on the open fan" is not a
good party game.
Cat's do not like to be stroked with an open
fan.
And lastly, open fans don't make good
kissers.
