What does it mean to bring an 8th man into the box? If you’re looking for the correct answer, you’re more likely to receive it from an EA SPORTS Madden NFL player than from someone who doesn’t play Madden. EA SPORTS, a label of Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced today the results of a new survey by the University of Oregon’s Warsaw Sports Marketing Center, that determined fans who play the Madden NFL video game series are more knowledgeable about the game of football than people who don’t play the game. The survey found that Madden NFL players’ football IQ was 60 percent higher than people that don’t play Madden.

The study, which surveyed over 15,000 EA SPORTS Madden NFL players and NFL fans, tested respondents in five categories of football knowledge: Game Situations, General Knowledge, History, Rules and Business of Sport.

“It’s amazing to see how much football knowledge Madden NFL players have especially when you compare it to people that follow and know the sport well,” said Paul Swangard, Managing Director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon. “We also found the more time they spent playing EA SPORTS Madden NFL the higher they scored on the survey.”

Hamburg/Germany, January 21st, 2009 – Crazy Circus brings a colourful and charmingly whacky circus to Nintendo DS™. Hamburg/Germany based publisher dtp entertainment will publish the arcade game worldwide in Q2 2009.

In 14 action-driven mini games, the player performs extraordinary circus acts. Oleg, the motorbike-riding bear, jumps over dozens of cars, a parrot swings on the trapeze, and clowns throw cakes at each other across the circus ring.

The player inherits the family’s once famous circus because his father is sick and no longer able to run the business. Now it is up to the young director to lead the troupe and restore the circus to its former glory. He keeps improving the show and quickly, the circus regains its excellent reputation. New performers push into the ring, the public clapping frantically to ever new sensations. The stunning performances attract the crowds in a way that finally, the circus arrives in the world’s most glamorous cities.
