EA Wants To Build Franchises In The Disney Model
EA wants to take Disney’s business model into gaming, according to new statements from the publisher’s CEO. At Q&A session for the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, transcribed by Seeking Alpha, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson talked about the company’s business model and what cues it is taking from Disney. Wilson claimed that Disney “had this idea of [building] these flywheel[s] of experiences around core IP.”
That flywheel includes movies and TV of course, but expands into Disney’s theme parks, merchandise, and even housing projects. For example, consider the idea of “Disney adults” or the company’s acquisition and stewardship of Star Wars and Marvel. EA wants to bring that out into the communities and IP it already controls. Wilson said, “If you stop now…
FIFA 20 Review – Premier League
Ahhh, FIFA. Like the setting of the sun, the drawing in of the nights, the putting on of an old winter coat, there’s both an inevitability and a level of comfort that comes with the release of a new FIFA game. The football season is properly back. The squads are correct again. A couple of new features to keep us occupied through the long, dark nights. All is right with the world.
FIFA 20 might not be the series at absolute peak form–Volta isn’t the revolution it perhaps could have been and Career Mode still feels underdeveloped–but modern FIFA is such a broad, deep, and complete offering that it remains a must-buy for football fans.
Carrion Review
As you’re slinking around air ducts and planning a surprise attack on a helpless scientist, it’s difficult not to feel empowered by Carrion’s approach to horror. Here you aren’t the one slowly peeking around each corner to make sure you’re safe–you’re the one doing the hunting, leaving a gory trail of devastation as you pick apart an underground laboratory one department at a time. When Carrion gives you the tools to be the best betentacled killing machine you can be, it’s a satisfying monster simulator with engaging puzzles and clever combat, but it falters in moments where you don’t feel as in control as you should be.
Carrion’s star is undoubtedly the gooey red monster you play as. Simply moving around is immensely satisfying. It feels as though you’re cons…

FIFA 23 Review – Football Is Life
FIFA 23 marks the end of an era for the long-running series. After an almost 30-year partnership that began with players like David Platt gracing the cover, EA Sports has parted ways with football’s governing body over a licensing disagreement. Future games in the series will now drop the FIFA name in favor of a new EA Sports FC moniker. Not that you’d be able to tell from playing FIFA 23, mind you. Despite being the last game adorned with the household name, it’s business as usual both on and off the pitch for EA’s latest footballing sim. There are a few new additions spread across its various game modes–and Ultimate Team sees its most significant change in years–but for the most part, FIFA’s swansong is a game of minor iterations.
This begins once you step …
Exorcist Trilogy Canceled, Mike Flanagan Will Direct Franchise Reboot Movie
In 2021, Universal Pictures and Blumhouse announced ambitious plans to bring back The Exorcist franchise with a new sequel trilogy. However, the rocky reception that The Exorcist: Believer received in theaters last year forced the studios to rethink the path forward. Believer co-writer and director David Gordon Green stepped down from the previously revealed sequel, The Exorcist: Deceiver. And that ultimately led Mike Flanagan to enter talks with Universal and Blumhouse about taking over.
Now, Flanagan has officially signed on to write, direct, and produce “a radical new take” on the next Exorcist film. As a result, plans for Deceiver and the other film in the new Exorcist trilogy have been canceled. Flanagan’s movie will take place in the same continuity as the previous Exorcist …

F1 2012 Review
‘
Codemasters’ third Formula One game sees the series finally find its feet. A broader range of game modes gives you much more to do, while great care has been taken to ease newcomers into the game. Though F1 2012 doesn’t capture the magic that surrounds the sport, the on-circuit action is the best and most exciting of the series. You’ll be holding your breath as you sweep around the majestic corners of world-renowned circuits, cursing as opponents swerve past you, and punching the air as you reach the chequered flag for months to come.
