Holding The Line Chapter 217

Raptor is proudly sticking to his target of one HTL chapter per month with this new release.

Hey all, Raptor here
HTL continues with Part Four of Check And Mate II. As you saw in previous chapters, the Valeria and Yorktown pilots have been working together to destroy a crippled Nephilim carrier. While the Yorktown pilots are launching fighter sweeps to destroy Nephilim fighter patrols, the Border Worlders are planning to launch a simultaneous attack on the Nephilim to split the enemy fighters. This chapter picks up from there. Please send any and all comments to me or to Joe at captpowell1@yahoo.com

EA Canada's Number One

GameSpot UK is reporting that EA Canada beat out Nintendo and Konami as the best selling game developer in the United Kingdom for the third consecutive year. EA's Maxis and Redword Shores studios took fourth and ninth places in the territory as well. EA Canada is Electronic Arts' largest development studio and currently leads development for Wing Commander, Need for Speed, James Bond, FIFA, SSX and numerous other major franchises. Their most recent NFS release, Carbon, sold more than eight million copies during the fourth quarter, and FIFA 07 has sold more than six million so far. The twenty-two acre site that they occupy in Vancouver has its own soccer field, indoor and outdoor basketball courts and a specialized motion-capture studio. Some two thousand people are currently employed there and they are continuing to expand. You can learn more here.
