Hate to love them or love to hate them; EA is one of the largest video game publishers in the world. And while we got a few hints of what EA were planning for their E3 2012 press conference, when they finally took to the stage today, their games really did speak for themselves.

EA opened their E3 2012 press conference with Dead Space 3. While the game’s official unveiling may of been upset by some leaked images a few days ago, the game certainly impressed the crowd and fans of the series. The game introduces co-op and more action by the looks of it.

Madden NFL 13 was up next with NFL star Michael Irvin invited to join the stage. Madden NFL 13 introduces a new feature called Connect Careers which makes up its campaign mode. This new mode introduces new RPG elements to the player development system to simulate what it’s like to build a NFL career in real life.

Maxis was up next to showcase two new SimCity games. The first SimCity Social, a new casual Facebook game (following in the footsteps of the highly successful The Sims Social, I guess) and the second the brand new SimCity game, along with brand new gameplay footage. A reboot of sorts, the new SimCity brings the game back to its roots and features a brand new multiplayer mode which allows players to link their games up with one another.

Battlefield 3 was shown off next, specifically its new Premium service. Much like Call of Duty: Elite, players can pay extra for ‘premium’ content which includes all previously released and upcoming expansion packs. Also motorcycles were shown off.

While players may be paying more for Battlefield 3, Bioware’s MMORPG Starwars The Old Republic will be free to play up to level 15. New content for the game was also announced by Bioware at press conference, including a new PVP zone, new species and quests.

Up next was Medal of Honor Warfighter. While the 2011 Medal of Honor reboot failed to live up to expectations, its sequel defiantly looks to improve on all the criticisms and flaws of its predecessor, as seen in its pretty impressive multiplayer gameplay footage.

During E3 Ubisoft unleashed a monster trailer for a monster game – Marvel: Avengers Battle for Earth.

Coming to Nintendo Wii U and Xbox Kinect, the Marvel Avengers: Battle For Earth trailer features classic Marvel characters including Wolverine, Venom, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Magneto, Storm, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow and Thor. The art style seems very child-friendly and cartoonish, and with the appearance of Spider-Man and X-Men characters, it’s clear that it will not tie into the recent record-breaking film. Little else is known about the game at this point so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is set for release this Fall for Wii U and Xbox 360. For more, watch the trailer below!

The PC shooter franchise Painkiller is making a comeback!

Announced at this year’s 2012 E3 and developed by The Farm 51, the remake of the 2004 title will have one particular improvement: it’s powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 3.

Recreating the sensations and hardcore gameplay of the original Painkiller (2004) Released in 2004, The Farm 51 will be bringing back the fast and unique gameplay that originally made the franchise popular. Filled with old-school FPS ideology, the games’ lightning-fast movement means pro players will feel right at home, and stunning, gigantic fights will require sneaky tactics and lots of bullets.

Exclusive media partners will be getting the first look at the first build of Painkiller Hell & Damnation at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles, California. Hopefully we will have more information soon!
