EA is all about their games and I thank them for sticking with that. They were straight to the point and didn't do any useless stun to get you excited(If you've watched the Ubisoft Press Conference, you know what i mean). Starting off their Press Con with Mass Effect 3 and ending it with Battlefield 3, a lot of strong games as usual was shown by EA.

E3 2011: New game for EA, Overstrike announced

Gotta love new games. Set in the near-future, Overstrike follows a team of four elite agents obliterating enemy strongholds using fringe-tech gadgets and lethal teamwork. The members of Overstrike 9 are comprised of an ex-mercenary, Interpol’s most wanted thief, a gifted young scientist and a decorated detective. Collectively, they are the agency’s outcasts. But a shadowy organization threatens to wipe out humankind. Thanks to each agent’s unique talents and a tendency to completely ignore protocol – Overstrike 9 is the only option left. Overstrike blends developer Insomniac Games’ flair for exotic weaponry and immersive storytelling with a touch of humor in this 4 person co-op action game.

Looks pretty cool and 4 player co-op always sounds good. Check the website if you want to know more.
