EA has offered to buy Take Two

Exciting news, if EA is able to do this we will be on the top again. Then it will be EA and the Activision+Blizzard groups left. Lets wait and see.

I am in Canada right now, in Vancouver to visit EAC (EA Canada) and its a grand experience for sure. This place is huge, with close to 2k people working here, its almost like a campus (with a kind of University feeling.)

On each floor there is buzzing and activities and meetings around various games. On the ground floor there is a basket court and a football field. I mean this is the capital of EA Sport. I went down to the EA shop earlier today and man they have all the games for like cheap cheap :)

A little more than a week into me joining EA I am still enjoying it tremendously. Yesterday I went up to Whistler for a relaxation trip. Will post some photos later..

More of this please :)

Call of Duty is the shit

I am a 1st person shooter fan of long long time. Man I have been playing these types of games since Castle Wolfenstein (during the nineties) and was well into trying to develop my own FPS using the latest 3D technology of the time (yes I know, lame) based on the original Doom which I played until my fingers bleed (the source code was released in the late nineties but the concepts around 3D modeling and the Z space was around for quite some time before that.)

Now I have a new vice, Call of Duty. The various versions (1-4) has had the in my opinion the absolutely best realism of all the military FPS games out there right. We are talking graphics, sound, controller vibration, AI system, weapon system, sound and ambiance, physics... you name it. I am amazed by the texture details and the environmental depth compared to other games (XBox 360 that is.) It doesn't jag or lag or in any other way annoy the game play like other games in the same genre. The story line is and has always been very good.

These guys at Activision know their stuff and I can only wait for them to be acquired by EA. We have to come out with something similar soon.

I am now way into finishing CoD4 and I love it... please don't disturb me I am almost done :)

Peace!!

New year, new exciting challenges

Its getting closer and closer my role as TD Online for EA Asia. I am so excited and hope that this will be the turning point I have been looking for. Well to be quite honest its all up to me to fulfill as I am (realistically speaking) the result of my own actions.

It will be quite a huge undertaking developing a new Online Gaming Platform for Asia but I am psyched to be able to work with some of the finest engineers we can find in this region.

More will come here as the work progresses..
