US President George Walker Bush and his governor brother Jeb have made an appearence in the latest version of American football game, Madden NFL 06.
While the pair won't be making the roster of the final product, the Bush-based version of the game was created when Jeb visited EA's Florida-based Tiberion studio in his role as state governor.
Governor Bush himself appeared as a Miami Dolphin's player while President Bush, who was
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.

Long-lost action-platformer Malice rears its head again today for the first time in over 12 months, with new screenshots and confirmation of a March release date.It was three years ago that the Argonaut-developed game first came to the world's attention when, along with Munch's Oddysee, it was used as a demo for the Xbox when the machine was first unveiled by Microsoft. It quickly became one of the most anticipated console games around and, after numerous delays, a November 2002 release was
Rockstar have released new shots of the PC and Xbox versions of their ultra-violent stealth-'em-up Manhunt, which was first released in November for PS2.Set in the run-down urban nightmarescape of Carcer City, the game places you in the role of a convicted killer who must escape from gangs of hunters prowling the streets. While the gruesome kills and stealthy gameplay can become a bit repetitive after a while, Manhunt still ranks as a hugely entertaining action-adventure which, if you don't
With only a matter of weeks till the release of Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, publisher Atari has provided a handful of new shots of the graffiti action game, which follows the exploits of a young graffiti artist by the name of Trane, attempting to change the world by spraying stuff on walls.
Initial responses to a proposed tag-'em-up were only lukewarm - especially as Marc Ecko is better known for creating chunky hooded tops rather than cutting edge console action games.
It's the end of another great year for gamers. Two new systems launched. Two handhelds waged bloody battle. And next gen gaming got a big kick in the pants - thanks to a year of lonely rule by the Xbox 360. PC gaming fought fire with nukes, waging its battle against the console-based onslaught. In short, it ruled.
How do we handle this? We're handing out our gleaming Platinum Chalice to those games and systems which gave us the business. No boring list of 37 different strategy games, divided
