EA Returns To Desert Strike Series, Not Syndicate?

An anonymous reader writes "Plenty of Brit sites have been reporting on new games which Electronic Arts is working on, some resurrecting some of the old legacy franchises. In particular, Spong.com is claiming that a Syndicate remake and a Desert Strike follow-up are in the works. Well, the other sites seem to be steering clear of the Syndicate story, with one claiming Spong 'got their wires crossed'. However, GamesIndustry.biz has a very good article clarifying the Strike game, mentioning that EA Northwest are developing it, as well as revealing that Scot team Visual Science is working on the recently discussed GoldenEye, so both of those games now seem to be a definite. What do Slashdot readers think of returning to old titles like these - especially from a company like EA, whose quality of output is sometimes a bit questionable?"

    I'm going to spell this out for you now, and after it is proven, I will reference this post.

    Singletoned is a chick. She's posting with a dude's name, signing with manly ASCII art and game company criticism, because she knows you fools will mod her up. Just because you homosexual wonders think she's actually male and that your mod points entitles you to a chance.

    Unfortunately, it will work. It always does. When the account has some real nice karma going for it, it will be troll after troll. And you'll cry into the last tissue from your bedside box of kleenex, most of which was used up while thinking about how you may one day meet Singletoned.

    You deserve 5 out of 5 for funny...

    How is Singletoned a guys name, though? I'd have thought it was fairly androgynous...?

    Don't take it too seriously. I'm testing out a troll script. Unfortunately it didn't pick up the all-important subject line
