Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

According to Gamasutra, EA’s CEO John Riccitiello responded to questions about Take-Two and their 2k Sports division by saying that as a company that “keeps them awake at night” Take-Two must be prevented from repeating All-Pro Football 2k8.

“When you’ve got a competitor like Take-Two on the sports side, and they launch a football title using some of the industry legends, you want to make sure that ends up being a blip and is not repeatable, because we like to defend our franchises aggressively.”

ORLY? And how do you propose to DO that, EA? Are we now going to sign exclusivity deals with Jerry Rice and Troy Aikman? If you mean that it will not be repeatable because the overall quality of your *spit* franchise will outshine 2k8 so badly that no one will bother to buy a clearly inferior product, then by all means, BRING IT ON. But we all know it’s not going to happen. Madden isn’t suddenly going to become the game that NFL 2k5 was.

Cripes, it’s like that big crybaby that when he got tagged in the face during kickball, took his ball and went home bawling because he couldn’t compete. EA, you ARE that crybaby. If you want to “defend your franchise aggressively,” then MAKE A GOOD GAME, instead of the steaming turd that hits the toilet every time another Madden game is released.

Can you tell I’m still bitter about the NFL exclusivity deal?
