Gaming News - November 2006
Redwood City, CA (November 15, 2006) - EA today announced that it is
now shipping Madden NFL 07, Need for Speed Carbon, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
for the PS3.
From EA:
Each of these stunning high-definition titles has been custom-created for the
PLAYSTATION 3 to take advantage of the advanced power of the CELL processor and
the motion-sensitive SIXAXIS controller. On December 5th, EA will add to its
PLAYSTATION 3 portfolio with the release of EA SPORTS Fight Night Round 3 and in
the months that follow, several more games including NBA STREET Homecourt and
Def Jam: ICON.
“Today marks the end of the console transition. From here on out, it is all
about great games,” said Frank Gibeau, Executive Vice President of North America
Publishing at EA. “EA is dedicating its most powerful franchises to the launch
of PS3, and in the weeks and months ahead you're going to see more games with
innovative features reaching out to new audiences.”
Today, gamers and gift-givers nationwide can find these three games in stores:
Need for Speed Carbon
Need for Speed Carbon and the PLAYSTATION 3 introduce the world to a whole new
way to play Need for Speed. The battle for Palmont City starts in the streets,
but is ultimately won in the canyons as Need for Speed Carbon immerses you in
the world's most dangerous and adrenaline-filled forms of street racing. The
combination of the classic Need for Speed controls with the new, unique motion
sensitive controller of the PLAYSTATION 3 takes the gameplay to a level
previously not possible. The player will instantly recognize and feel the
physics differences between the 50 plus Muscle, Exotic, and Tuner cars as they
use their crew to win Canyon races, customize their cars using Autosculpt™ and
battle to take control of the streets of Palmont. EA is leveraging the high
capacity and throughput of the Blu-ray™ disk to store and stream our highly
complex world; something that was becoming increasingly difficult to do on other
forms of media. For more information about the game, please visit

Madden NFL 07
Madden NFL 07 for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system unleashes the
power of PLAYSTATION 3 and provides a realistic next-generation football
experience. Gamers can now experience Madden with high-definition visual
presentation, more realistic player motions and physics, new motion-sensor
controls and deeper gameplay. The SIXAXIS motion sensor controller puts complete
command of your players at your fingertips like never before. Use the new
PLAYSTATION 3 SIXAXIS controller to throw different types of blocks, to Jump the
Snap, to Snap the Ball and to deliver punishing defensive hits. You can throw
the perfect block and create a running lane with all-new lead blocking control,
and then take command of the tailback and rip off a big gain. For more about the

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 07
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 07 features the thrills of championship Sunday and the most
realistic looking golfers in a video game. By using revolutionary Universal
Facial Capture or U-CAP technology, world class golfers like Tiger Woods, Chris
DiMarco, Mike Weir, Colin Montgomerie, and Luke Donald have the same reactions,
emotions and characteristics in the game as they do out on the PGA TOUR. The
game includes 12 championship courses and an all new practice facility where
gamers will develop their drive, chip shots, and putting skills before heading
out on the PGA TOUR. Gamers will enjoy the new SIXAXIS motion sensing system
controller allowing a greater degree of ball spin direction and speed control.
Simply tilt the controller in the direction you wish the ball to spin, the
longer the tilt in the direction, the faster the ball will turn for more action
on the course and around the green. The game’s official website is
