Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Over the last few years, EA have been striving to re-ignite the culture that built their company. Genius minds creating brilliant virtual worlds to dive into and escape the monotony of their lives.

In America, the fans go crazy for the announcement of the cover star for the Madden titles – which are EA’s main draw each year in that market. Over here though, it’s all about FIFA.
