EA talks GDC game line-up

Crysis, Hellgate, HL2 Ep2, Mercs.

EA will be showing off Crysis, Hellgate: London, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and The Orange Box - containing Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 - at a reception running parallel to the Game Developers Conference next month.

"These games will not be shown on the show floor," the publisher explained, adding that attending journos would be able to meet with the developers involved. And probably get some snacks.

EA's one of a few publishers bringing its wares to the GDC area in San Francisco, and is involved in a few sessions during the conference too, including one about creating believable AI athletes in sports games and another about EA Montreal's quest for new IP. Also part of the programme is a Maxis session talking about how the Sims is making its way to Wii.
