E3: Recap of the EA press conference

Recommended Videos

Shooters!

That was the vibe I got after watching the EA press conference. Sure, they had some SimCity and Need for Speed to break up the trigger pulling action, but most of their presentation was all about shooters. Some set during war, some set in space, and some on the top of a dam.

Don’t get me wrong, they looked great! But … shooters!
