Swedish development house Digital Illusions CE (aka DICE), which is owned by super-publisher EA, is looking to diversify. Creators of titles such as Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield: Bad Company and Rallisport Challenge, is looking to spread its creative wings outside of the BF franchise, says Ben Cousins, creative director of DICE Sweden, and fill in any "gap" in EA's line-up.

While a dancing game has already been nixed by Cousins—Boogie's got that covered, anyway—the creative director is light on details about what the team wants to do after Bad Company. If I can make a suggestion, Ben, EA's very light in the cooking genre and your nation's meatballs are just fantastic.

That idea is free, contact me for others. Michael McWhertor
