EA Playground

The actual concept of an EA playground is one of the most wonderfully absurd things weve heard of in a while: a kind of compendium of EA games collected together in the style of a theme park. How excited you get by this prospect depends entirely on your age, because this one is aimed squarely at sticky-fingered youths. But theres no doubting it has a certain pizzazz. The minigame that were most looking forward to is Tetherball - the game that everyone loves until the ball swings right into

An all-new IP for DS and Wii that captures the nostalgia of your neighbourhood playground. EA Playground was first revealed early last month, but today EA has official confirmed the game's development for Wii and Nintendo DS. In development at EA Canada, Playground features game that are easy to pick-up-and-play by fully capitalising on the unique control mechanics of both the Wii and DS. Players will find themselves swinging the Wii-mote to excel in tetherball, or blowing into the DS microphone to fire spitballs or battle friends and family in dodgeball.
