If you never see the point of buying every yearly update of EA's sports titles, EA's about to give you one: from September 1 it will begin shutting down the online servers for most of its 2006-edition sports titles.
As of that date, the online gameplay options on games like FIFA World Cup 2006, NBA Live 06, Madden 06 and Tiger Woods 06 will be rendered useless on all formats including PC.
This means you'll have to purchase the newer editions of the games to continue the fight via the web, or
Music has been a focal point of many of EA's titles for years, and now the publishing giant has gone a step further by forming its own music label.
In a joint venture with Nettwerk One Music, the new LA-based Artwerk record label will sign both new and established artists, the first of which will be Junkie XL, who worked on music for Madden, SSX Blur and Need for Speed Carbon games.
EA will use its games as a worldwide marketing tool to promote its artists.

Microsoft-owned in-game ad firm Massive Inc. has inked a deal with Electronic Arts that will bring dynamic ads to five high-profile titles.
Madden NFL 08 (Xbox 360, PC), NASCAR 08 (Xbox 360), NHL 08 (Xbox 360), Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (Xbox 360, PC) and Skate (Xbox 360) will all go live in the Massive Network this year.

Interview with a Made Man, the Mafia-themed crime game apparently lost during publisher Acclaim's 2004 bankruptcy and subsequent closure, has been given a second chance to impress the Don on the PS2 and PC. The game will hit Europe this September, and while a US publisher has yet to be announced, we've got a family-sized selection of screens to hold you over in the meantime.
Currently being worked on by SilverBack Studios, the game sounds promising, with 17 chapters of organized crime spanning
Once known as Interview with a Made Man, this wayward crime shooter is at last on track for an early '07 release courtesy of Aspyr Media. Originally an Acclaim game, Made Man was lost during the company's bankruptcy and then picked up for UK distribution.
