Swtor Logo Electronic Arts had plenty to boast about during their preliminary financial results report for the first quarter of 2011. Since Battlefield 3 pre-order sales are up 10% over it's predecessor. The company was bolstered by top performing games like Portal 2, Crysis 2, FIFA 11, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12. What may have come as a big surprise for investors was news that Star Wars: The Old Republic broke the already high record set by Battlefield 3 for pre-orders. Within the first 24 hours of pre-orders going live, the $150 Collector's Edition sold out at EA's own store, Origin.

EA has announced a release date for the updated NBA Jam series for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Although already released for the Wii, NBA Jam will hit retail stores on November 17 the retail edition of the game. I think this calls for a boom shaka laka don't you agree?

Despite EA's effort to appease the masses by taking the Taliban name from their upcoming release, Medal of Honor, GameStop still refuses to sell the game on military bases around the world.

EA's Medal of Honor series has always sought to create a game to honor the people who serve our country with the utmost bravery and honor. Unfortunately families of fallen solders don't see it that way. EA is trying to cover up their faults and mistakes to come out looking like the spilt milk never happened. Guessing that the outrage of people being able to play as the Taliban in the soon to be released Medal of Honor game finally knocked some sense into people at EA to either change the name of the opposing force.
