No, Steven, "The Goonies" cannot be one of the three games

By JOHN PACZKOWSKI
Steven Spielberg's new project requires a different kind of screen -- a computer monitor. The Academy-Award winning film director has inked a long-term agreement with Electronic Arts to develop three original video games. An interesting bit of convergence, this -- a Hollywood A-lister teaming with the world's largest video game publisher. Certainly, EA has high hopes for the alliance. "[Steven] really wants to make sure each of these products has at least one really meaningful innovation that nobody has ever seen before," said Neil Young, general manager and vice president for EA's studio in Playa Vista. "It would be akin to 'Jurassic Park' as a film. Nobody had seen dinosaurs moving that way before. That innovation added so much dimensionality to that film. ...We're trying to answer the question: Can a computer game make you cry? Partnering with Steven, we're going to get closer to answering it, and maybe we'll answer it together."
