EA has announced MySims Agents, a mystery-solving adventure game for the Wii and DS where players are agents who must stop a plot that threatens the fate of an entire city.

Players take on the role of a special agent hired to foil the sinister plans of the lord of the criminal underworld. By recruiting different MySims, each with their own special characteristics, players can build up their very own crime-busting dream team.

Using using forensics, picking locks, hacking into computers, following leads and collecting clues, players will use puzzles to put gadgets together to help solve the mystery.

Sounds interesting.

Game’s out June 16.

EA has just announced a giant line-up for Holiday 2008, and it’s hard to be unimpressed. There is, quite fairly, something for everyone. Big boss John agrees.

“EA’s 2008 lineup is our best ever,” said EA head John Riccitiello. “This is the year that our core franchises leap forward with stunning innovation and we introduce more brand new games than any other year in our history. Sports lovers will compete in an all new holographic mode in Madden NFL 09 and experience the online evolution of their players in NBA LIVE 09. Action fans will be able to destroy everything in sight in Mercenaries 2 and be scared witless in our new Sci-Fi horror title Dead Space. We’ve got casual family titles like Hasbro’s Littlest Pet Shop and genre-defying experiences like Mirror’s Edge and Spore. EA has never offered consumers a stronger, more innovative and diverse line up of new games.”

It’s all after the link. There’s nothing there you don’t already know about, but seeing it all in one place is something else.
