This whole shock-and-awe thing about EA is getting a little old. I mean, yeah--they're big, they're corporate, and they put out a lot of licensed stuff...but all that talent they keep buying up is going SOMEWHERE, right?!
Needless to say that they put out consistently good titles. Madden (and ALL of their sports titles), NFS, Burnout, SSX, BIG titles, etc...they're good on every system they appear on...and almost all of them look as good as anything else on the system. We can all bitch and moan about how they never push the hardware, lowest common denominator developers, half-soaked sequels every year, blah blah blah blah.
The fact is, EA has always been a great publisher and their policy of gobbling up small developers and assigning them to specific title factories -- while a bit draconian and definitely angering the GAF audience -- is clearly paying off.
