NFS: Shift plus five more from EA arrive on Steam

It seems somewhat odd how EA doesn’t automatically put its wares up on Steam as soon as they become available by other means.

For instance, six of the studio’s videogames became available on the digital distribution service today, and only one of them could be consider “new,” if that. I suppose it might have something to do with digital downloads being a thing EA offers, but even still, it seems strange.

• Need for Speed: Shift
• Battlefield 2: Complete Collection
• Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising
• The Godfather
• The Godfather II
• Medal of Honor: Airborne

A seemingly random collection of games from EA’s back catalog … or is it? I implore you to find a common link between all six games, excluding the publisher they share. Can it be done?
