EA promises more iPhone games
EA games has announced that it is bringing a number of titles to the iPhone. Reporting from the EA press conference at E3, Joystiq notes that EA will utilize the accelerometer in a newly announced Spore title for the iPhone, allowing full creature control. The company will offer full touch-support in Tetris and also make Scrabble WiFi compatible, allowing multi-player scrabble games from the iPhone. Sudoku, Tetris and Scrabble are already available at the iPhone App Store, while Spore Origins (a mini version of the bacteria stage of Spore, complete with a creature creator) is expected in the near future. There are also plans at EA to port popular titles such as Tiger Woods and Need for Speed to the iPhone.
Tetris ($10 at the App Store) offers 15 levels, a magic mode and marathon mode, with touch support, and drag, flick and poke actions, among others. Scrabble offers the classic board game on the iPhone, with zoom and drag-and-drop tiles, for $10. It allows players to work against the computer or utilize Wi-Fi for multi-player games. Sodoku offers 10,000 grids with five difficulty levels. It is available for $8.

another 2142 delay
Great. Now they have another excuse to not work on the 1.50 patch for Battlefield 2142 Mac. I hate EA. Can't wait for some real Mac games to be released. Quake Wars is a nice tied me over.
Crap
$10 for Tetris? Are they serious? I'd rather pay for one of those retarded "flashlight" apps.
Nah, probably not.
