Coolin' at the EA Playground

Every time we get a glimpse of EA Playground, we can't help but think that it looks like a SimCrossing tie-in. Strangely, we're okay with that; the character designs in MySims are adorable, and these do look more rounded and less immediately omg-kawaii! And while we may be a little over minigames in general, EA really does seem to be trying to get a good handle on the Wii, and it seems likely this'll be worth at least a few minutes of our time. There's always time for dodgeball, after all.
