EA's Wooly World
Jokes were abundant throughout EA's presser, but as a clearly nervous developer pulled a doll made of yarn from his coat pocket, we seriously contemplated turning off the stream - thank goodness things picked up once some gameplay was shown.

Weed killer
2014's Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare came as a bit of a surprise in that it was actually a much better game than many thought it would be.

That said, we're actually tempted to hop back into the action...

News Blow the Bloody Doors Off with Battlefield Hardline's New Gameplay Trailer
Cop blocker
Battlefield Hardline's launch trailer is here, and it's actually pretty good. Sure, it's full of clichés and blackout cuts, but we reckon it shows off the title's single player campaign quite well.
