EA Cooking Up A Plethora of Need For Speed Titles

Many gamers agreed that the last of the Need For Speed games was shameful, but EA seem to think it is still a stong franchise and are not giving up. Among a few new Need For Speed titles are two PC games.

One will be a free to play massively multiplayer online game called Need For Speed World Online. Yes, you read it right, free to play. Can't complain with a free game, especially one from a respectable firm, lets just hope they don't screw it up.

The second will be a new game following in the series called Need For Speed: Shift. This will be a first person racing simulation.

EA is basically splitting the brand into a few different genres, which may work out and seems like a decent idea if played out correctly.

EA Drops 200 More Employees

It seems in our current economical state, even the gaming powerhouses like EA are at risk. Last year they shut down their Black Box Studio and now they are cutting 200 more jobs from those same left over employees from that studio. They had been relocated to another studio but have finally been given the axe. According to sources the employees will have the opportunity to relocate to another one of EA's offices.

This comes not long after EA Tiburon announced that they were laying off numerous employees yesterday. It's a sad day for EA.
