"I have been playing EA games for years and have watched them master the interactive format," Spielberg told SFcrowsnest.com. "Having watched the game industry grow from a niche into a major creative force in entertainment, I have a great deal of respect for EA's understanding of the interactive format. I'm looking forward to working closely with the team in Los Angeles."
"There is no greater storyteller than Steven Spielberg," said EA CEO Larry Probst. "In addition to his gift for pleasing movie audiences, he has an innate understanding of games and how to immerse players into a fantastic world of action and characters."
EALA is home to the Medal of Honor, Command & Conquer and The Lord of the Rings games.
