World Leading Interactive Entertainment Publisher to Debut

Seven PlayStation 2 Titles on the Show Floor

Electronic Arts (Nasdaq:ERTS, news, msgs), the world's largest interactive entertainment software company, today announced its Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) lineup of 16 titles that appeal to a wide array of new and seasoned gamers.

Leading Electronic Arts' (EA) new crop of titles are seven PlayStation(R) 2 computer entertainment system games that are expected to dazzle consumers. The titles will be marketed under EA's new unified branding strategy that aids consumers and retailers by grouping EA SPORTS(TM) and EA GAMES(TM) with a common and easy to recognize logo treatment.

"Our lineup of PlayStation 2 titles on the show floor will underscore EA's position as the world's premiere developer of interactive entertainment industry," said John Riccitiello, president and chief operating officer at Electronic Arts. "Consumers are going to stop dead in their tracks when they see what the new technology does for their favorite games like Madden NFL, FIFA Soccer and James Bond -- The World is Not Enough. Games like NASCAR racing and Knockout Kings Boxing are so real you have to blink to make sure you're not watching a televised event."

"EA's PlayStation 2 titles will deliver top-notch gameplay combined with intoxicating graphics," said Don Mattrick, president of worldwide studios at Electronic Arts. "Our development teams spent thousands of hours creating the coolest content that consumers will see this year. Madden NFL allows gamers to zoom in for incredible detail like the hair and veins on the arms of their favorite players. In The World is Not Enough, James Bond fans will get fast, fluid gameplay and real emotion on the faces of cyber Bond and Christmas Jones."

In addition to EA's powerful line-up on the PlayStation 2, the company will extend its successes on the PC with a number of new titles. EA will launch new properties including American McGee's Alice(TM) and will take the popular Command & Conquer and "Sim" franchises into new directions with Command & Conquer Renegade(TM) and SimsVille(TM).
