Spawnd: If any publisher has been having a bad year, it would be EA. Every year they promise a good year for gamers, but in the past 12 months they have been harshly criticized, had their CEO John Riccitiello step down and saw the release of several under performing and poorly critiqued titles they had spent a lot of money marketing. Being part of EA must have been tense leading up to their show today, but luckily it is looking alright for the company. The show opened with a self aware third person shooter mocking shooter fatigue made by popcap no, im serious If I told you that third person shooter was Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare I wouldnt blame you for disbelieving me; I hardly believe it. Though that (at first satirical) presentation was capped (yep, thats a pun) by an exciting announcement for masochists, Peggle 2 which will supposedly be coming out this summer.
