to order Need for Speed Carbon and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, while Battlefield
2142 and will be available on August 28.
Need for Speed Carbon is the latest installment of the Need
For Speed franchise in which the player will immerse in the world’s most
dangerous and adrenaline-filled form of street racing.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, fearing that Hogwarts’ venerable
Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about the return of Voldemort in order
to undermine his power, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge appoints a new
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the
students. Hermione, Ron and Harry form “Dumbledore’s Army” with the goal of
preparing themselves and other courageous young wizards for the extraordinary
battle that looms against Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is the latest sequel
of an historic game, Command&Conqueor, initially developed by Westwood
Games. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is bringing you back to where it
all began: the Tiberium Universe. With the corrupt substance Tiberium
blanketing most of the Earth, the infamous Kane is back to lead his Brotherhood
of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and
the few remaining livable Blue Zones left on the planet
Battlefield 2142 – Earth, 2142 is another sequel with action
set in the future. As a new ice age depletes the planet’s resources, two
massive multinational coalitions wage a brutal war for the only cause that
matters—survival. Armed with a devastating arsenal of futuristic weaponry and
gear, including active camouflage, EMP grenades, and sentry guns, plus Battle
Walkers and vast airborne bases called Titans, you must coordinate the efforts
of your teammates to win the war for Earth’s last fragile pieces of livable
land.
“We’re thrilled that the world’s number one games company is
making this major commitment to the Mac and game fans are going to love playing
these new EA titles on a Mac,” said Apple spokesman Anuj Nayar.
But once it started, Electronic Arts doesn’t have any intention
to stop. Other Mac games will be released in September and October: Tiger Woods
PGA TOUR 08 and Madden NFL 08.
