Spending $50+ on a video game can be hard for some folks. Likewise, upgrading each year to the latest title in your favorite annual EA series may not always be practical. Unfortunately, it’s going to be mandatory if you want that online experience.

EA has decided to shut down servers on several of their biggest titles, from the past few years. And to the chagrin of many, some of these titles include 2009 editions. The measure is done when popularity of titles lessen, in an effort to cut costs. Although this is unfortunate for anyone who currently plays these older titles, it’ll be good for you to finally upgrade from your dusty copy of Madden 07. The various game’s online modes will be fully functional until February 2nd.

Here is the full list of titles below:

* UEFA Champions League 07 – PC and Xbox 360
* Facebreaker – Xbox 360 and PS3
* Fantasy Football 09 – Xbox 360 and PS3
* FIFA 07 – PSP, PS2, PC
* Fight Night Round 3 – PS2
* Madden 08 – Wii
* Madden 08 – PC
* Madden 09 – Xbox 1

* NBA 09 – Wii (Europe only)
* NBA Street (2007) – PS3 and Xbox 360
* NCAA Football 08 – PS2

Adult Swim favorite 5 Minutes To Kill (Yourself) now available on iPhone

Hillbilly squids. Fast food crime fighters. John C. Reilly. Is there anything Adult Swim can’t make funny?

I’m not the hugest fan of online flash games, but Adult Swim stuff just does it for me. That’s why I’m pleased to hear that 5 Minutes To Kill (Yourself) is now officially on iPhone. For those of you who haven’t played the game on Adult Swim’s official site, or at least seen the hilarious late night commercials, you simply must give a go. The game is pretty simple; you have five minutes to kill off your player Stan before he’s forced to sit through another mindless business meeting. It seems ole Stan would rather maim himself with a fax machine than die of sheer boredom, and its up to you to save him…by offin’ him. Its a mercy kill. Think of it as euthanasia, if that helps.

The bloody fun starts at the iPhone App store, for $2.99.
