alrighty.... guess its my turn for input 
I'll start with the starwars games.... I'm not a huge fan of the battlefront series, well, not for Xbox, however for the PC they hold much more to them. It all depends on what kind of gamer you are, what kind of shooters you love, and if you like to be limited in your actions and game play to being forced to kill so many people to play as a jedi, until you die.... Personally I like the idea of all Jedi fights, so battlefront2 did deliver some satisfaction. Limited view system, as comes with most FPS games, you've got overhead 3rd person and first person views... Honestly with FPS games I'm more of a 1st person gamer, as it is "First Person Shooters".... But Battlefield2 holds the 3rd person views to be better off when it comes to X-box game play.... PC-game play tends to differ though.
Starwars: Empire at War, I have not quite gotten my hands on yet, but I do know that they are currently running an advertisement (Atleast at BestBuy) that you get a free shirt when you purchase the game. Tell me more about it if you find stuff out, I'd love to hear about it....
OK now its time to pick at EA games. Well EA as we all know hit a horrible state with the launch offerings with the X-box 360, however clearly they've started pulling out of their failures with NCAA Baseball, and the Arena Football game. Its easy to explain whats so entertaining thought.... Realistic baseball games are SOOOO boring to watch, but the second the controllers are in your hands, its impossible to put down. It always has been that way. Simple enough. As far as Arena Football; the game style is still loosely interpreted with video games. Rules, boundaries, and so forth, so it feels more like a primative game to us, than the newer Madden 06' series and the NFL 2k6. They've been force-feeding us more and more complex games with more and more beaten-in details, and graphics. However with their newer Arena Football, its not quite so painstaking. Clearly graphics are always a stickler in games now days, but over-all control is less of a hastle when it comes to new STYLES of games. Football is an American Tradition, and a classic when it comes to games, so throwing it into an arena and speeding up the pace a little bit, keeps everybody interested.

My 2¢. If i'm wrong, too bad, we'll all get over it
