It seems many in the videogame industry returned from winter break with absolutely nothing to talk about until spring, so that's what they're talking about.

EA will be releasing two new expansion packs for Battlefield 2. Battlefield 2: Euro Force (Feb) will introduce an all-new European Army and three new maps to the game while Battlefield 2: Armored (March) will focus on large mechanized battles in the American heartland.

Ubisoft, meanwhile, announced yet another Tom Clancy Rainbow Six game dubbed Critical Hour (March), which will essentially be a revamp of Rogue Spear with a bunch of bonus goodies, as well as the company's first PSP title called Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Essentials (March).

Sony announced a slough of reasons to have January and February officially stricken from the calendar with Neopets: Petpet Adventures - The Wand of Wishing, Daxter, MLB 06 The Show, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, and Pursuit Force all coming to PSP in a month or two.
