E3: World's biggest publisher's line-up

Electronics Arts seems a bit contrite over its patchy record in the last year during which it was regularly outgunned by rival publishers - but more importantly admitting at E3 that it needs to do better than trash like Catwoman, Urbz, etc.

But EA knows what sells, so we'll see more of the familiar names in the coming 12 months. Thankfully, that includes another helping of Burnout, the racing/smash-em-up par excellence. Burnout: Revenge (PS2/Xbox) tweaks the gameplay to introduce multiple routes and make wrecking other traffic as useful as narrowly missing it. Genius.

There'll be more servings of many of its hit sports titles for all consoles, including Xbox 360. Add in more Battlefield plus tie-ins including Harry Potter, Batman Begins, Marvel superheroes and 007's From Russia With Love. You know what to expect.
