EA Shutdown online services for several games this August

EA Shutdown online services for several games this August
Published by: forahobby on Thursday, July 14, 2011
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

EA today announced they will be switching off online services for a whole bunch of not so popular games, and have released a complete list of titles that will soon be affected.

Every year EA switches off online services for many of their older game titles, due to the lack of online players and technical support they require to stay online; This year is no different.

As games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles below a point where it's feasible to continue keeping online services running.

In other words, if you want to finish your online achievements or check out a demo for any of the following games, please do so asap.

Here is the complete list of games which will soon have online services shutdown.

August 11, 2011 Online Service Shutdown


October 1, 2011 Online Service Shutdown

Sports Illustrated And Madden 10 For 10 Bucks Less

Sports Illustrated And Madden 10 For 10 Bucks Less
Published by: wes213 on Sunday, August 16, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

If your a sports fan and love to keep up on all the inside game info you might have a Sports Illustrated subscription, if not and you want Madden NFL 10 for ten bucks less then you can get it at GameStop, then you might want to check out this deal.

Madden NFL 10 Screenshot 6758

Nextgenplayer reports: Thinking about picking up Madden NFL 10 today? Well, before you go hop, skip and jump to your local retailer consider this: Sports Illustrated is giving the game away free with a paid subscription.

I'm not personally a huge fan of Sports Illustrated (I've only ever read the swimsuit editions), but this deal is almost too sweet to not consider. Here's the economic breakdown:

A subscription to SI costs less than $60, Madden NFL 10 costs $70 at retail, so right off the bat you're actually saving ten loonies. When you add in that you also get a free Madden documentary that probably adds at least another ten loonies to the savings. So that's probably around $140-150 worth of goods for a mere $60. How they manage to run these types of campaigns profitably is beyond me.

You can get this grate deal right here: Sports Illustrated Madden 10 offer

Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

Xbox 360 invites members of Xbox LIVE to be the first to score a touchdown with an exclusive, playable demo of the upcoming Madden NFL 10 starting July 23 for Xbox LIVE Gold members.* Available exclusively via Xbox LIVE Marketplace one week before anywhere else, the launch will grant early access of this special sneak peek to millions of Xbox LIVE Gold members around the globe before any other platform.

Featuring a night game in heavy snow with the Dallas Cowboys visiting the New York Giants, fans can experience first-hand what it’s like to “Fight for Every Yard” on Xbox 360. Whether driving a running back towards the first down, or battling for a fumble at the bottom of a pile, the play in this four quarter demo won’t end until the whistle blows.

In addition to unique early access to the demo, Inside Xbox on Xbox LIVE will also be treating fans to a debut of exclusive interviews and previews on July 30, including an interview with Phil Frazier, Senior Producer of EA SPORTS for Madden NFL10 and a full preview of the game on Aug. 10.



Releasing on Xbox 360 on Aug. 14, Madden NFL 10 captures the suspense and emotion of the NFL on a whole new level with immersive TV broadcast-style presentation and all-new modes, including Online Franchise and Online Co-op. Add in the all-new Pro-Tak™ animation technology and players have more control over the outcome of each play than ever before. As the most customizable and authentic Madden NFL to date, players are ensured that if they see it on Sunday, they’ll see it on Madden NFL 10.

Madden NFL 10 has been rated “E” for everyone by the ESRB and will be available on Xbox 360 on Aug. 14. For more information, visit http://www.xbox.com/maddennfl10/ or http://maddennfl.easports.com/.
