EA sucks.If it werent for Bioware being under their umbrella,I wouldnt buy ANY EA games.
EA used to have decent games back within their early days. I even didn't mind when they purchased Origin Systems. The Ultima games rocked, though I never played Ultima Online.
The most recent boxed game I bought was "Darwinia". I like it because it has a little of everything within its oldskool gameplay. Plus there's no DRM and doesn't require an Internet connection.
The current games all either look the same or just try to reinvent stuff that worked long ago ("SimCity", anyone). There's not much originality out there on the shelves. The indie developers have done far better in actually taking what works within the medium and actually creating original ideas for games which may have a foot in the past but offer much stronger storylines and play.
It's as if an Atari 2600 game offers more gameplay-per-bit than the next 3D multi-gig flash in the pan.
And it goes without saying that I'm a huge oldskool emulation fan since 1999. I'll leave the rest to your own imaginations. :-)
