Army of 2, Command and Conquer and The rise of Casual Gaming

Welcome to the new opinion based ausgametech.

EA has announced Army of 2: The 40th day which appears to follow on from the idea of the original Army of Two. It does however change the way the co-op works with each player relying on each other. There will also be more co-op moves and the game will be available on the XBox 360, Playstation 3 amd Playstation Portable.

Command and Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising is availiable digitally today.

Finally, I have been receiving many press releases from both Activision and EA outlining nwe Casual Games becoming available for all teh major gamign consoles. EA has released Trivial Pursuit and Activision is set to release Little League World Series Baseball 2009. This could be the start of a downhill trend with each publisher publishing more casual games than hardcore games. If this happens then it may prove to cause their profits to drop signifcantly.
I have only one thing to say to the major publishers...FOCUS ON YOUR MAJOR FRANCHISES AND TRY TO COME UP WITH A FEW MORE IDEAS TO PROVIDE A FRESHNESS TO EACH FRANCHISE!
