EA Tiburon visits Florida children's hospital (and donates lots of games)
Eight members of the EA Tiburon development staff acted as emissaries for the Orlando, Fla. based developer when they visited the city's Florida Hospital for Children recently, bearing gifts of games and what must have been a nice diversion from the "man, being in the hospital sucks" blues. Madden development director Chad Merriam and associate art director Tony Stanley were among those who stopped by with a pack of 30 new games for the hospital's library, including Madden NFL 10, Boom Blox and Rock Band.
The crew also visited with the kids, explaining the basics of game development and giving them ProTips on the games. The Orlando Sentinel has a full account of the visit, which, we have to say is a welcome change from news of layoffs, financial woes and studios going belly-up. Our hats are off to you, Tiburon -- nicely done.
