By year's end, Electronic Arts plans to release 26 new games, all but one of them a sequel, including the 16th version of N.H.L. Hockey, the 11th of the racing game Need for Speed and the 13th of the P.G.A. Tour golf game. The company also relies heavily on creating games based on movies like the James Bond and Lord of the Rings series, rather than developing original brands.

All out of idea's I guess.. And much cheaper to produce.

 Sports probably amount to 80%+ of those.

Concider NHL 2006 and Madden 2006 count as 6 games.

True, but given the number of games it is still sad that none of them are new origonal titles.
