EA announces E for All lineup

Electronic Arts (EA) -- the world's largest independent publisher of PC and console games -- is one of the featured exhibitors at the inaugural E for All Expo. They've announced their lineup, which you'll be able to see and get your hands on beginning a week from today.

Games they'll be showing off include The Simpsons Game, an action game based on the perennially popular animated show on Fox; Warhammer Online, a massively multiplayer online role playing game created for fans of the popular tabletop and computer strategy game series; and Smarty Pants, a trivia game designed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.

Also on display will be TOB: Team Fortress, the add-on for Half-Life 2; Medal of Honor: Airborne, another installment of the eminently popular World War II-era first person shooter series for various platforms; Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and Nintendo Wii; and NFL Tour, a hot new National Football League-licensed game coming to stores in January.

Want more? Probably one of the most anticipated titles EA will be showing is Rock Band, the upcoming music video game that lets you perform in virtual bands with up to three other players -- you'll be able to play guitar, bass guitar, drums and sing using peripherals. That's sure to please gamers who have been bitten by the Guitar Hero bug.

If that isn't enough to satisfy you, also plan on seeing games from EA Mobile, the business unit that creates games for mobile phones and Apple iPods. They create versions of top EA titles to run on handhelds.

Check it all out on the show floor at booth 1801 and have a rockin' time!
