EA has announced today that the first game developed in collaboration between themselves and director and producer Steven Spielberg, entitled BOOM BLOX, is set for a May 2008 release for the Nintendo Wii. With exciting single player, co-op, and versus gameplay modes, this block busting puzzle solving game features an incredible 300 levels, more than thirty unique characters to choose from, and an easy-to-use in-game editor that allows players to create their own puzzles and share their creations with other Wii players using WiiConnect24.

"My inspiration for this game came while I was playing the Wii for the first time," added Spielberg. "From the initial concept to what the game is today, it’s always been built around the innovations the Wii brings to playing games. BOOM BLOX plays on the enjoyment of building and knocking down blocks, something that can appeal innately to kids and adults of all ages.
