NEW YORK - Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg and Electronic Arts Inc., the world's biggest video game publisher, said on Friday they are teaming up to develop three original video games.

WOW!!! Time to pull my remote control robotic arm out of the closet, at last!

EA, whose shares jumped nearly 5 percent in early trading, did not disclose the terms of the multiyear, exclusive agreement.

Haha, I wonder if those terms involve burying millions of copies of the new Spielberg games out in the desert.

Neil Young, vice president and studio head at EA Los Angeles, said Spielberg and EA developers are aiming to take advantage of new technology in upcoming gaming consoles and deliver more engaging and novel play and entertainment.

"Who is a better person to tackle that challenge with than Steven Spielberg?" Young said.

"Besides," said Young, "Even if this turns out to be yet another gaming disaster of Spielbergian proportions, I've always said it's better to burn out than fade away. I mean, otherwise we're helpless. I've seen the needle and the damage done. This note's for you, Reuters."

More recently, popular games, whose rich stories are ripe for leaping from computer monitor to the big screen, have been developed into feature films, such as Universal Pictures' monster-chase epic "Doom," which opens this month, and the alien battle adventure "Halo," the best-selling title for Microsoft Corp.'s
Xbox console, due in 2007.

STORY RICH GAMES LIKE DOOM. That's awesome.

BTW, Universal is also producing the GoW movie, in case Reuters wanted to mention that. :(
