This is the face of true panic.

There was a brief time in 2013 where golfer Tiger Woods got "cancelled." This left Electronic Arts spiraling, since Woods was the face of their golf game since the 90s.

EA scrambled and came out with Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. That didn't exactly roll off the tongue, so how the hell were they going to sell this game??

Since the game ran on the Frostbite engine, the best they came up with were the hilariously over-the-top modes where you golfed in an active Battlefield warzone.

And while that's still funny to this day, the game got ridiculed out of existence for it... Until right now! EA Golf is back. I wonder if anyone noticed?



Electronic Arts used to be a big PC presence, before their sports turn. They used to produce a lot of..volume. Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge is one half full motion video, one half first-person shooter.

The DOS exclusive is based off some low rent, direct-to-video horror film. You can find clips from the movie throughout its mazes. Every enemy spawns a cyclone that throws you into some visual garbage world.

It's quite something. I wonder why EA never brought it back. Must be a pretty expensive license.

Imagine owning this box, holy macaroni...



If Electronic Arts loves anything, it's destroying everything it touches. That's the fate that befell BattleForge, a card strategy game that was before its time. The online game combined real-time strategy, which was out of fashion, with card systems that wouldn't be popular for a few more years.

It was shut down in 2013, one year before Hearthstone released.

If you feel bad that you missed out on a unique game, I have good news! A fan project has revived the whole thing, sans monetization, called Skylords Reborn.

Isn't that cool? I think that's pretty cool.



Sudden horror game pivot in honor of @Voidburger.

Remember when Overblood got mentioned by Geoff Keighley during The Game Awards, this year? I couldn't believe my ears. Everyone remembers this painfully average 1997 EA game, right?

It's probably the best horror survival game of that era that isn't Resident Evil. Or Silent Hill. Or Parasite Eve. Or Galerians. Or even Dino Crisis. But pretty close after that!
