Say what you want, Electronic Arts (EA) is still one of the top producers of video games (been so for a long time, too) for every platform.

EA is using E3, which opens today in LA (and runs through May 12) to showcase the following games:

• The Lord of the Ring, The Battle for Middle-earth II
• NCAA Football 07
• SPORE

EA officials say The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II for the Xbox 360 will bring players into the heart of Middle-earth to live the battles seen in the blockbuster New Line Cinema films and classic J.R.R. Tolkien literary fiction.

NCAA Football 07 on the Xbox 360™ features detailed graphics relaying the authenticity of the stadiums, mascots and marching bands of college football.

From the mind of Will Wright, the creator of The Sims, comes “SPORE for the PC, an epic journey that takes players from the origin and evolution of life through the development of civilization and technology and eventually all the way into the deepest reaches of outer space.
