E3 - EA's Press Conference Reveals New Titles and lots of release dates
We’re on to press conference number two as EA took center stage today - to show off just what is in store for the company and I sure wasn’t dissapointed! They showed off a ton of new games, most appealing of which (to me at least) was the new Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, which is being developed by Burnout Paradise veterans Criterion Games, which means this game is almost guaranteed to be awesome. They also showed off some footage of Crysis 2, which will still be blowing up my PC, and scared us with some more media on Dead Space 2.
Find out all the news after the break!
