Dead Space Announced for Wii

                                                         Just another day at work...

EA announced an updoming Dead Space sequel on Wii. Saying, "We're bringing core intellectual properties and franchises in categories we think have legs on the Wii platform. A good example of this is Dead Space. We're bringing a Wii title to the market this year and it is absolutely going to be the quality and fear factor that you got on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC SKUs this past year."

EA also hinted at using the Wii MotionPlus technology. It's currently unkown whether this will be a standalone game or a sequel.

I think this should work great for the franchise. Wii owners previously couldn't experients the depth and techical intrigue of the previous game but now we'll be treated to a unique game with new controls. Expect the news as it happens.

EA Announces 'Zubo'!

The popular company behind titles such as FIFA 08, and NBA, has announced a kids rhythm game for the DS.

In Zubo, the player must aid the inhabitants of Zubalon against the evil Zombos.
The player must feed, train, and use their Zubos to kill stuff in a kid-like way!

"Zubo represents the culmination of a dedicated incubation project, which specifically sought to develop a new videogame property for boys and girls under 12," said Harvey Elliott, Head of the EA Bright Light studio in Guildford, UK. "The team here has designed a rich, immersive and, above all, enjoyable experience -- one that will live in the schoolyard, at home or on the move."

Players enter the world of Zubalon to help the colorful and zany inhabitants, the Zubos, defeat an evil force which is bent on world domination. Players can befriend the Zubos they meet along the way, feed and nurture them, help them gain skills and strength, and assist them in their battles with the enemy, the dastardly Zombos.

A key element to Zubo is music, which is intrinsic to Zubalon from its tuneful plant life through to its currency of musical notes. The player will use the music to drive the battles forward, synchronizing their stylus action and tapping in time with the musical beats to win!

With 55 Zubos available to find and recruit to a player's squad, plus a wealth of interactions and mini-games, and the world of Zubalon to explore, Zubo offers a deeply rewarding Nintendo DS experience.

Zubo is developed by EA Bright Light studio in Guildford, UK and it will be available on the Nintendo DS this autumn.
