Published: June 30, 2008
Print Designed for social play and featuring unique controls, distinct
presentation and a style of play that is inviting to players of all
skill levels, EA SPORTS will ship four "All-Play" games in 2008 in
Europe.
"The Wii platform and the Wii consumer are looking for a very unique sports experience," said Peter Moore, president of EA SPORTS. "We're excited to take four of our most popular franchises and develop them from the ground up exclusively for the Wii, with unique controls, unique presentation, unique modes and even unique packaging. Whether you're an EA SPORTS veteran or a rookie gamer, EA SPORTS All-Play levels the playing field and delivers a fresh new gaming experience."
EA SPORTS will ship the following games under the "All-Play" descriptor:
Madden NFL 09 All-Play
Madden NFL 09 All-Play features fun, approachable and innovative gameplay by unleashing the power of the Wii Remote through the all-new EA SPORTS Call Your Shots feature. Call Your Shots allows the player to create his or her own plays on the fly and direct receivers where they should run. Gamers of all skill levels can also enjoy an all-new fast paced 5-on-5 mode which has a reduced field length and big head NFL players. Experienced Madden players or rookies to the game can utilize the all-new play calling system. No matter the skill level, players can be competitive with three playbooks to choose from, ranging from Easy to Advanced.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 All-Play
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 All-Play features personalized coaching from Tiger Woods' personal coach, Hank Haney and all types of gamers can pick up this game and have a fun and challenging experience. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 All-Play features new graphics and user interface while also incorporating interactive and social mini-games. The standing swing control, the most "true to life" golf mechanic you can find in any videogame, truly takes advantage of the Wii console's unique control scheme. The game will also feature online play for the first time with Simultaneous Online Play that allows up to four players the ability to play each hole at the same time.
NBA LIVE 09 All-Play
Step onto the court and into the fun with a unique basketball experience designed exclusively for the Wii. NBA LIVE 09 All-Play offers more action, more often, with an over-the-top basketball experience designed with everyone in mind. Improved responsiveness and more control options make this game easier and more fun to play than ever before.
FIFA 09 All-Play
Step onto the pitch and play a unique soccer experience exclusively for the Wii. Enjoy FIFA Soccer 09 All-Play one of two ways-a Wii-specific take on the classic '11 vs. 11' simulation or over-the-top '8 vs. 8' arcade action. Play with your Mii alongside your heroes Ronaldinho, Wayne Rooney and other soccer stars created as customized characters in an arcade version of the beautiful game. Steal the ball and make outrageous shots by simply waving your Wii Remote. You've never played soccer like this before! Plus, play Footii Party Games called Table Soccer and Boot It for more great fun with family and friends.

| Pure October 10, 2008 Disney Interactive Studios decided to take a major turn in their usual games style by creating something different, something that if you consider, cannot even stand besides the Disney name. I'm talking about Pure, an off-road ATV video game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, that stands out from the Disney's catalogue full of kids games or games based on major cartoon movies.

| Crysis Warhead October 2, 2008 Like in Star Trek, Crytek decided they should have an all
race, gender and color policy when choosing their main hero, but without having
anything against that I have to congratulate them for the choice in this second
game. They've managed through storytelling, smart dialogs and more
action-oriented gameplay to create a strong character with James Bond-ish
features. He's cool, doesn't lose his calm, has a witty remark for everything
and knows how to blow things up. Maybe he even drinks martinis, we're not sure
yet.

| PT Boats: Knights of the Sea October 3, 2008 I was among the lucky few who got the chance of playing the demo version of the highly anticipated title from Akella: "PT Boats: Knights of the Sea", and I must say this naval combat simulator has all the assets needed to become the next big thing in the genre industry. The dazzling graphics, complex yet accessible gameplay, real life inspired scenarios and the unique flavor of a maritime confrontation all in the background of the ever intriguing World War 2 concur in creating a game of huge potential.

| James Bond: Quantum of Solace the Game September 25, 2008
I was really impressed when I saw the gameplay on the new
James Bond video game. I believe things are finally looking up for gamers who
want to see their favorite movies on their computers or consoles. And that's
because the developers are paying more attention and the big movie companies
understand the profit to be made out of this. Plus, they understand that they
can't just shove down a dev's throat a game project two month before the movie
released and say "have it done by then".

| GC - Fuel September 17, 2008
"Give me Fuel,
Give me Fire
Give that which I desire..."
said James Hetfield somewhere in 1997. We don't need fuel (or?!), we need a good game from the godfathers of Dirt and Grid, Codemasters. Fuel might be the pretender.
