Even the Mercs video was pretty decent. Their marketing is just getting good. Unlike Sony.

That's pretty good. Now if they'd just unfuck the Madden series.

Filming a guy "walking on water" is trivial even without special effects.  You just have him walk on a board that's half an inch or so beneath the surface of the water.  As long as the lighting and angle are such that you're seeing a reflection on the surface and not down into the water itself, it looks... well exactly like this does.

Honestly I used to have a major hate-on for EA, but since Skate, they've done nothing but deliver some really good shit.  Dead Space and Mirror's Edge only look to continue the trend.  EA Sports can still bite me, but the rest is good times.

Chances they lock down the NFL franchise for another five years?

Hell, the original agreement was for 15 years of exclusivity.

This year's Madden is actually pretty damned good. And NFL 2009 sounds awesome, so they are still getting some things right. From everything I have heard, they really shit the bed with NCAA 2009 though, so they certainly aren't where they need to be.
