I Hate You EA - Madden 2006

By Adam Myers ⋅ August 9, 2005 ⋅ Tags: ea sports, games, madden

I’d just like to say I tried so hard today to not become EA’s whore. See, there was an article in the NY Times yesterday about video game publishers relying heavily on video game sequels to pad their bottom line. Rather than coming out with original and innovating games, publishers are following Hollywood’s sequel syndrome and releasing rehashes and updates of the same game, yearly. EA certainly isn’t alone here, though they are the major focus of the article, and rightly so. Of the 26 games yet to be released this year, only one is not a sequel. Wow!

That being said, however, like a junky urging for his next fix, I only lasted till mid afternoon before going to my local EB Games for my Madden fix, 2006 style.

Great deal at EB by the way, trade in three of last year’s sequels and get this year’s sequel free!
