EA announced a new online storefront called Origin today, aimed at providing an dedicated home for EA and EA Partners games, with features similar to competing services.

The store already houses roughly 150 games, and EA promises it will offer downloads of limited edition versions of games like Battlefield 3, FIFA 12, Alice: Madness Returns, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. The announcement also teased that digital purchases of Star Wars: The Old Republic will be exclusive to Origin.

The company also launched a beta application, which can be downloaded through the site. It lets you create a friends list, check on your friends' gaming habits, and download EA PC games. It also functions as an overlay during games, not unlike Steam. A mobile application is also planned, to play EA's smartphone games and check on their friends list features from their phone.

"Origin is a game service with two fundamental features," said VP of global online at EA, David DeMartini, in the announcement. "It's a download service for the very best content from EA and its partners. It also offers a social function which, over time, will connect to a player's profile with friends list and a cross-platform feed that shows what your friends are playing and where." He also promised that the company will be adding new features and services in the coming months.

"We're committed to offering consumers direct access to great content and community in a way they have never experienced before," said CEO John Riccitiello. "Today we're launching Origin.com and the Origin beta application. Over time, Origin will grow with new functionality and unique new content that consumers can't get anywhere else."

DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson revealed that the studio's upcoming shooter will launch with a powerful web portal that includes social tools, friend feeds, detailed stats, voice chat, real-time friend tracking, and more. The monthly fee for all this additional multiplayer support: $0.

In a blog post teasing Battlefield 3's E3 presence, when he wasn't taking shots at that other multiplayer shooter franchise Troedsson mentioned that DICE and EA will be showing off both single- and multiplayer gameplay, and that the press will be able to play multiplayer on a single map called Operation Metro. He also made mention of team deathmatch, the ubiquitous mode that DICE normally avoids in its releases

Sony Online Entertainment announced Payday: The Heist today, a squad-based first-person downloadable shooter coming to PC and PlayStation 3 this year. You'll have six heists to pull off, with genre mainstays like blasting a vault, managing hostages, taking an armored car, and infiltrating a high-security facility.


Payday: The Heist
The announcement promises dynamic environments and adaptive tactics to keep the game fresh as you pull off your various heists. It isn't rated yet, but developer Overkill Software is expecting an M for Mature.

You'll form up in crews of four bots or real-life partners, share your resources, help wounded partners, and divide the responsibility of a heist. You can specialize in assault, sharpshooter, or support, to use the appropriate equipment. Like most multiplayer games, it comes with a class progression tree, so you can gain better weapons and equipment like silenced pistols and trip mines. You can even trade hostages to buy yourself some time.

If you get bored with the six missions, SOE and Overkill promise that DLC will be coming to add new heists. So far all we know is gleaned from an announcement and some screenshots, but the game will be playable at E3 next week, so we should be able to get some hands-on time with it.
