[casual_games] EA CEO calls video games "boring, " complicated: WSJ

[Joe Schultz]

I hear ya. Though I wouldn't mind another FPS if it actually added  
some cool things and evolved the play experience a bit. Like the  
"grab the other guy's weapon" from Perfect Dark was a nice, if not  
basic, start.

It's funny how things change, when you contrast how far 3rd person  
games have come from Tomb Raider; God of War 2, upcoming Assassin's  
Creed, others are comparatively galaxies away from TR, in contrast to  
changes in the FPS experience (relatively small by my estimates).

Same for Casual, I'd like to see more variety and more cool ideas;  
not just reskinning PopCap games for maximum $$. So much that I'm  
hoping to deliver something new on our next project, but we'll see if  
player's respond.
