As expected, the gaming giant Electronic Arts has unleashed today the complete list of games that will be presented at this year’s E3.
Of course, we are talking about titles that are scheduled for release later this year and in early 2009. And by looking at EA’s impressive list, we could say that the company has something in store for every gamer out there, hardcore or casual.

“EA’s 2008 lineup is our best ever,” said EA CEO John Riccitiello. “This is the year that our core franchises leap forward with stunning innovation and we introduce more brand new games than any other year in our history.”

Let’s see what EA has prepared for the gamers. Dead Space, developed by EA’s Redwood Shores Studio, is a game about a massive deep-space mining ship which goes dark after unearthing a strange artifact on a distant planet. Engineer Isaac Clarke embarks on the repair mission, only to uncover a nightmarish bloodbath - the ship’s crew horribly slaughtered and infected by an alien scourge. Now Isaac is cut off, trapped, and engaged in a desperate fight for survival. Ok, maybe it doesn’t sound too original, but EA hopes to win an E3 award for Best Action/Adventure Game.

FaceBreaker is the boxing game from EA Canada. FaceBreaker promises irreverent fun, immersive gameplay and eye-popping stylized graphics. In this in-your-face, arcade world full of ego-wielding characters, each boxer comes to life with unique attributes and distinct personal style. In addition, FaceBreaker K.O. Party, built exclusively with Wii consumers in mind, brings the magic of social play right into the living room with pick-up-and-punch intuitive gestures. In FaceBreaker, it just feels good to rearrange an opponent's face.

For the casual gamers, EA will present Hasbro Family Game Night and a new game from EA’s Casual Label, Littlest Pet Shop.

The fans of sports video game will be surely thrilled by Madden NFL 09, developed by EA Tiburon, a game that marks the 20th anniversary of one of the best-selling and most critically-acclaimed videogame franchises of all time. EA promised 85 new features and enhancement and adaptable gameplay tailored to every type of gamer. I am almost willing to bet that EA will win with this title an E3 award in Best Sports Game category.

Also for the sport lovers who own a Xbox 360 or a Wii, EA has prepared Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09, developed by the same guys from EA’s Tiburon Studio.  The game will feature dynamic, personalized gameplay via Tiger Woods’ personal coach, Hank Haney. The game will be released also for PSP.

And how we can forget about NBA LIVE 09? Developed by EA Canada, NBA LIVE 09 has fundamentally shifted the way gamers look at sports simulation games and emulates - with absolute precision - an NBA player based on last night, not last season. Coupled with new features like Pick and Roll Control, Defensive Lockdown Control, Signature Playcalling and Quickstrike Ankle-Breakers, the NBA LIVE experience will hook gamers from beginning to end.

Also from EA’s Black Box and Montreal studios comes Skate It, the game of  skateboarding for Wii and Nintendo DS.From EA’s Pandemic Studio, we have Mercenaries 2: World in Flames,  an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn Venezuela. The game competes for E3 award in Best Console Game category.

Mirror’s Edge is a new game from EA’s DICE Studio, which takes place in a city where information is heavily monitored. Agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. Gamers play a Runner called Faith, and this innovative first-person action-adventure is a personal story. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, Faith’s sister has been framed and now she is being hunted. Mirror’s Edge delivers gamers straight into the shoes of this unique heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat and fast paced chases. The game competes for Best of Show/ Best Original Game.

And there comes the EA’s crown jewels: Spore, a new game from EA’s Maxis Studio and industry veteran Will Wright. Spore is a personal universe in a box. In this universe players can create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations and even sculpt entire worlds. In Spore, there are a variety of creation tools that allow players to customize nearly every aspect of the universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even spaceships.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is a new title from EA’s Mythic Studio, a new MMORPG from the creators of Dark Age of Camelot.
EA Los Angeles has traveled seven years back in time to resurrect Red Alert, the most-beloved series in the storied, 25-million-unit-plus-selling Command & Conquer franchise.

Crytek and EA Partners are going back to the South China Sea this fall with the PC-exclusive Crysis Warhead, a parallel story to Crysis, one of the highest rated games last year on any platform. Players will don the Nanosuit of Psycho, the more brash and aggressive Delta Force squadmate of Nomad, experiencing his intense, explosive adventure on the other side of the island.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will make gamers will relive all the thrills, action, and excitement of the movie this holiday season. In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory.
