EA really came out guns blazing for this years e3 conference, literally. The publishing giant showed intense trailers for both Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield 3, two games that will surely be up there for game of the year contention. EA also announced Sims Social, allowing gamers to play a lower resolution version of the hugely popular life simulation on Facebook. I expect this game to be a social gaming phenomenon, making most people forget all about Farmville and whatever else they are playing these days. Need For Speed: The Run was the only questionable title shown, it allows drivers to get out of their cars and... well run. I'm not to sure that is a feature everyone was clamoring for in their Need for Speed.

EA is also publishing Insomniac's first multiplatform game, Overstrike, a light hearted take on the sci-fi shooter genre. All in all I thought they had a really good showing.
