An Army of Two mini-series, maybe? However, I have to admit it's a pretty awesome idea from EA. If they get a hit show it's basically free advertising for their games. Report Reply

Need For Speed would just turn into Dukes of Hazard, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and any other sports game is already available on TV, Dead Space would have problems trying to knock Alien off its pedestal and I'm not sure EA would be happy about the budget required to fund a Mass Effect: The Movie trilogy.
