The news that I link and some other information that make me keep me on track that Electronic Arts (EA) is to bet heavily on pogo.

The fact is that there are twigs to create a good community, because the sites "hardcore" of EA have enough traffic and pogo would be the cornerstone to attract more casual players and focus to their Wii casual games.

Following the recent layoffs and business failures with games like Mirror's Edge, EA tries to chart a new strategy.

Crisis management and its directors painful, went through desperate times and finally escaped with the biggest economic boost from the Government, ie taxpayers took over the issue. Well, where has gone to much of that money? No to save the company, but to pay 165 million gerenosamente extraordinary remuneration to the same managers who had led the company into bankruptcy. This has an impact on the U.S. president, Barack Obama, who is stepping in to issue a refund. As this happens, we can do as humble ordinary people is to play AIG Exec UFO Catcher, a game where we slipped into a party of AIG executives in which we mistreat them thoroughly. Cheer up!

1) Model Wii Fit: Join the game with a peripheral that is necessary for play. Has anyone bothered to hack Wii Fit? Without the Balance Board makes no sense. Besides the peripheral used to other games and provides a new way to play Skate, Snow or directly to the idiot with the latest game from Rayman Raving Rabbids. This would be the perfect model and the answer also Guitar Hero, for example, although it is actually possible to play without the peripheral, but loses all the grace.

2) Model Burnout Paradise: Continuous additional downloads free only for users who bought the game first hand and substantially better game, giving it more hours of play, elements, etc.. You can hack this game, but you lose a lot of things that are cool because you can not download anything.

How will this leave the body?

I already sensed and popcap.com study has shown. One in four employees play at work. 24% of the "Curritos" have confessed that play instead of making things more challenging during the workday, but the "big fish, are even worse.

All these players are called casual players, and like to take a quick game of Tetris games or Pacman to unwind and improve concentration and visual acuity.

Lately I've been posting a lot about games. The other day I told you how to get free Xbox 360 games and how to play online for free Wii . Now I read that many game companies are putting direct download and free many of their older titles for PC

As always, the most innovative is Ubisoft. The games are released Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Far Cry and Rayman Raving Rabbids. Course, are free but carry advertising. In the same download file says "Free ad supported game," meaning free game supported by advertising. I assume that is an experiment at Ubisoft, with support from FilePlanet, since in Spain Ubisoft page is not even mentioned the subject. Click here to download the games. Have the links in the right column, just below the "What's hot".

For its part, Electronic Arts allows you to download Command & Conquer . This game is very special to me. It was the one I was hooked in my life, becoming 3 consecutive days (no nights, of course) giving up acabármelo. I think it was the end of BUP, and meant to leave then some games. It was like a large overdose of which take long to recover and return to catch a game more healthy. If you have not played ever do it. It's a great game

Finally, let you know that you can also play Sim City, another clasicazo, but this time online, without downloading the game. Click here to play.

It is curious this initiative to give away games. No other acts and entertainment industry. The music and film is not cheap even in jest, but it seems the entertainment industry is more open. It is also true that the older games worse than the music or movies.
