300 Director's EA Games Could Become Movies
Following Variety's story early this morning that Zack Snyder, the man behind such films as The Dawn of the Dead and 300, has signed a deal with EA to make three games, comes the official announcement. Filmmaker Snyder, whose latest project is the movie adaptation of Watchmen, will be working with EA Los Angeles, the same studio which worked with Steven Spielberg on Boom Blox. Under the agreement with Cruel & Unusual Film, EA will own the rights to the games which they will develop, publish and distribute worldwide. EA and Snyder will also work to "extend the game franchises into theatrical motion pictures." More »

Boom Blox A Bust At Retail?
When EA's Boom Blox didn't appear in the top ten best selling games for the month of May, we were puzzled. When it didn't appear in the top twenty, we became concerned, especially with junk like Game Party and Haze representing. According to NPD data provided to GameDaily, the Steven Spielberg-backed game only sold 60,000 copies last month, limping into the #25 spot on the U.S. sales charts. More »

Spielberg's Pants? A Raging Inferno
Think back a few decades. Think Steven Spielberg. Back before he was putting his name on Wii games, before his stories were being turned into under-appreciated Lucasarts adventure games, before he looked like Totoro. All the way back to 1983. When he was not only putting out ET, but talking up the film's videogame adaptation. And lying through his teeth. More »

Spielberg Enjoys Playing Crysis, But Is That Enough?
You can't fault a guy for thinking the whole Steven Spielberg making video games scenario seems just a tad disingenuous. On a movie set, the director is quite possibly the hardest working, most involved person on staff. Transplanted as a game designer, they show up every once and a while to check stuff out. But at least Bloom Box producer Amir Rahimi will stick up for Spielberg's gamer cred:I was actually pretty surprised to find out how much of a gamer Steven Spielberg is.

Spielberg's Boom Blox Revealed
Director Steven Spielberg's 2005 deal to create original games with EA comes a step closer to bearing fruit as they unveil their upcoming Wii title, Boom Blox. While we had a general idea and were then given a name , we now get a full reveal of Spielberg's action-puzzle game a week and a half before it shows up at GDC - and for one I am relieved. When I first heard the term block puzzle tossed about, I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking some sort of Tetris clone. As you can see from the screen there, that's happily not the case at all. More »

The First Film License
In my last book Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Videogames, I think I claimed that the first film to commercial videogame adaptation was Death Race 2000, a 1976 arcade game based (loosely) on the 1975 cult film Death Race, in which drivers in a dystopic America circa the then-future millennium score points for people killed. The arcade game was not an officially licensed adaptation, but it was an adaptation nonetheless. It was also reviled in the media as the first example of a controversial videogame. More »

Spielberg Game Has Character From Far-Assed Future
Director Steven Spielberg is making three games for Electronic Arts. One of them is a block-puzzle game (ungh) for the Wii, and it was a result of meeting Nintendo's resident genius Shigeru Miyamoto at E3 2006. The second game is an epic adventure title for the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC. According to EA, the game "focuses on a touching and ever-changing relationship between you and a mysterious female character who holds the key to many futures." The third game is a secret. More »

Spielberg Game Out This Year!
While Will Wright's Spore won't be released this fiscal year (ending March 2008), Steven Spielberg's Wii game for Electronic Arts will. Previously, EA said the new Spielberg-helmed IP was "very different" and "very interesting." So, no aliens, no Nazis and no children? What's more, EA Montreal's Army of Two, EA Black Box's SKATE, EA Canada's EA Playground and EA Montreal's Boogie will also see release this fiscal year. Think of this as EA's way to apologize for the Spore delay. More »

GDC07: Spielberg & EA Making Wii Game
Back in October of 2005, EA announced that it was working with director Steven Spielberg on a trio of videogames but has since been relatively quiet on exactly what those games are. As EA LA's Neil Young expressed to Gamasutra last year, the games would focus on original IP, so a proper sequel to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600 is probably out of the question.
