EA/Spielberg project revealed

MCV Staff 6th February 2008 Business News

Developed at EA LA studios, the new title will be a family-friendly title offering ‘action-packed interactive activities’, and will be released on Wii in May this year.

"I am a gamer myself, and I really wanted to create a video game that I could play with my kids," said Steven Spielberg. "Boom Blox features an enormous amount of fun challenges and cool scenarios for your kids to solve or for you to master together."

"My inspiration for this game came while I was playing the Wii for the first time," added Spielberg. "From the initial concept to what the game is today, it’s always been built around the innovations the Wii brings to playing games. Boom Blox plays on the enjoyment of building and knocking down blocks, something that can appeal innately to kids and adults of all ages."
