Electronic Arts has revealed the games it will be presenting at the Electronic Entertainment Expo taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 15 to 17. Whilst there are no real surprises, since we have known about most of the big name titles for a while now, it’s still exciting to know exactly what to expect at E3. EA will undoubtedly put on a spectacular dog and pony show as they trot out their latest AAA’s and franchise reiterations.<\/p>\n
“This year, EA will go to E3 with a showcase of blockbuster titles – games that combine a great single-player experience with deep online features and support,” said EA’s COO John Schappert. “There is something for everyone from hardcore to casual players.<\/p>\n
“This year’s media briefing will feature news and demonstrations from big EA titles such as Medal of Honor, Need for Speed, Dead Space 2, EA SPORTS Active 2 and The Sims 3 for console. All new properties EA SPORTS MMA and titles from EA Partners, Crytek and Epic.”<\/p>\n
Some highlights of the titles that will be previewed by EA include:<\/p>\n

The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade and unlock weapons, which in turn allows them to execute even more exaggerated skillshots<\/p>\n “This is creative mayhem at its best,” says EA.<\/p>\n Platforms – Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, PC<\/p>\n Ship Date – 2011<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crysis 2<\/strong><\/p>\n In Crysis 2, New York is under attack by a frightening alien species that combine deadly weaponry and exceptional sensory abilities.
