During the event, EA Showcase last week, we also granted some spare time to wander the area dedicated to Pop Cap Games and Mobile titles from Electronic Arts, among others believe that we would meet in front of Battlefield 3: Aftershock for iPad (and not happened). In doing so we could touch a short series of games arriving on our screens and have definitely interest reasons.

On July 12, 2011 Electronic Arts has acquired Pop Cap Games, a studio responsible among others as a colossal success of Bejeweled, Zuma, Pegged and obviously Plants Vs. Zombies.

Just one of these sessions was born Popcorn Dragon , a small, small game, we tried on the iPad, and that maybe does not see in front of her destiny to be the new phenomenon, Pop Cap Games, but has its reasons of 'interest. In Popcorn Dragon controls the movement of a dragon eastern simply touching the screen to give a direction that he will follow with its sudden movements. The goal is to invest the popcorn flames flitting around to cook and then eat it. In the middle you put a number of possible enemies and power, and of course the ability to complete each level in a more or less successful, in the tradition of mobile games. At the same test Popcorn Dragon, which is slated for release in November, we also quickly put his hands on the Xbox 360 version of Bejeweled 3 , meanwhile landed on Xbox Live Arcade marketplace. Said that at this address found in our review of the PC version, to report the news are negative, as it was lowered to eight the number of modes present.

Several other titles were on display iPad format, including in our opinion, it stood out above all a pair. Trenches II is the sequel to a great variation on the tower defense genre, appeared almost two years ago within the IOS. In the game you must control the advancing troops in the trenches in the trenches, overcoming obstacles and breaking down the enemy, in order to reach the opponent's base (and, simultaneously, to prevent enemies from reaching ours). The development follows the basic rules of the genre, with a fair number of units - on foot or in vehicles - and the classic accumulation of credits by which unlock. Funny, immediate and apparently quite rich, expected later this winter promises new ways of course, troops, upgrades and more. Keep an eye on.

The other game that we enjoyed is the reworking of a classic like Theme Park , which offers the opportunity to assemble their own playground in a theme from the cartoon graphics, inside of which should be among the other attractions available to some related trademarks Electronic Arts (there are rumors of Mass Effect and Dragon Age). The attractions are totally interactive, and it is possible to control them with strokes of his finger, sending them out of sight if desired also to create discomfort in the legendary patrons, but being careful not to destroy everything, however. With its structure of progression and the wealth of possibilities (the game map to be filled is mammoth), surely Theme Park, arriving in short, is a perfect game for the mobile sector.

We close the show with two words on the conversion iPad Burnout Crash , the "side project" of Criterion recently appeared on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 (with a lot of support Kinect) that is presented in this EA Showcase its new incarnation. From what we have seen, appears to be a direct conversion, which transforms into movements of Kinect gestures and finger tap on the screen and plays back in full what was seen in the console version from home, found-reviewed at this address.
