EA gearing up for more Blox-type games
According to new job postings from EA Los Angeles, the Boom Blox team is looking to beef up its roster of artists and designers. The text in the job listing suggests that, if not a sequel, a new game in the vein of Boom Blox is on the way.
The listings seek designers and producers to "bring accessible, quick-to-the-fun games for all ages to the Nintendo Wii!" and specifically recommends experience with physics-based gameplay. At the very least, it's good to know that, despite non-awesome sales of Boom Blox, the EA LA team is still working on casual-style games about knocking stuff over instead of being transferred into Madden-type stuff.
There's no job listing, unfortunately, for "well-known figurehead from film industry."

Let's hope they don't only keep the pick-up-and-play aspect of Boom Blox, but the overall quality and innovative fun as well.

Was thinking the same thing - as entertaining and fun as boom blox is.......lets hope they don't try to take a casual gaming stance on the Wii.........

Yeah. Boom Blox was an amazing game mostly do to it's GENIUS level design. Every mission was meticulously thought out and super fun to play. Let's hope they don't skimp on the quality.
