U360 Report Card

Tis the season to be jolly especially when you bring home good grades to your parents and score some good presents from Santa.  Since so many kids are going to be playing hours and hours of video games this holiday season, I figured it made perfect sense to see what the U360 Report Card says about the companies who make these games. 

I’ll take a look and see exactly how these publishers and developers out there graded to determine whether they’ve been naughty or nice.  Let’s see which company deserves some milk and cookies or a gift of purchase this season.  

The first company to stand in front of the class for their grade will be Electronic Arts.   The report card for the mighty EA will be turned in tomorrow.  Be sure to be here to see their grade.  I’ll also have report cards on Microsoft, Activision, Vivendi, 2K and others in the days ahead.

Here’s how I’ll grade each of them.

Projects

How many titles have they released this year?  Were they of good quality?  Were they original or sequels?

Community

How were they in dealing with their fan base?  Did they host any events to promote their titles?  How accessible did they make information about their title with websites, advertising, etc?  How accessible are they to the fans?

Extra Credit

How have they extended the life of their titles in the Xbox Live Marketplace?  Did they develop any extra content and if so, was the price reasonable?

    IMO, EA deserves a C+ or even B- just for Rock Band alone…
