I think outside the yes man circle that JR lives most people think that in recent years the acquisitions side of EA has been downright retarded. Buying Pandemic for 150 Million only close it down less than two years later ? Not smart. Bioware cost 800 Million? Sorry they are good, but not that good. Playfish for $300 Million? You have to be kidding me. Oh, and to make up for we will cut payroll by that same amount. I think people were exited when EA seemed to try new things, now they are back to flogging the crap out of the same franchises at great new Wal-Mart prices. Not a recipe for win.

Uh, not to lambaste the Joystiq readership but have you noticed that regardless of platform most games don't look all that hot in screen shots any more? At least wait to see it motion before you arbitrarily bash the graphics.
