EA Playground
EA Playground, développé par EA Canada et édité par Electronic Arts, a été lancé le 23 octobre 2007 sur Nintendo DS et Wii. Ce titre relève des genres sport et réflexion / puzzle.
Le jeu propose divers mini-jeux structurés autour d'une campagne en mode solo et d'un mode fête multijoueur. Tous ces mini-jeux s'appuient sur des jeux de cour de récréation bien connus, incluant Dodgeball, Tetherball, Slot car racing, paper airplane racing, dart shootout et wall ball. On retrouve également « Kicks », qui mélange les sports Soccer et Volleyball (Sepak takraw). D'autres jeux peuvent être débloqués en progressant dans la campagne solo.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« EA Playground is probably the best multiplayer Wii experience since Wii Sports. Even with its eventual AI challenge, there's nothing complex about this game--and there shouldn't be. »
« For parents, it's nice to have a gaming option that's not tied to licensing for yet another TV show. And the gameplay that is there fun and simple, so when the young gamer in the house does want to play multiplayer, it'll be entertaining for everyone. »
« Like youth, EA Playground’s single-player mode is fleeting, but still a fun romp through the schoolyard of mini-games. »
« The mini-games are actually quite fun, and only Tetherball and Wall Ball stand out as weaknesses. If you're looking for a great family game or something to hold the kids over until the next Spongebob or Naruto game, then EA Playground is a great choice. »
« The visuals, music and effects aren't going to break the bank, but certainly do everything that's asked of them. »
« The best way to explain the fun of this game is like a Mario Bros. game. Sure you can beat it in a half hour, the stages are simple, the gameplay can be repetitive for the number of times played, and the feeling is almost oversimplified after a few rounds, but there's still that something that keeps players coming back to it. »
« Definitely not mentally stimulating but the games will require a good level of reflexes and hand-eye co-ordination. »
« More of a stocking filler than an under the tree type of purchase. »
