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 only remember that the mission briefings said something to the effect of "You might want to use a single agent armed with a sniper rifle", then I would use 4 agents armed to the teeth with miniguns and gauss guns, start the mission by minimizing all the drugs and waiting for the bars to drop to minimum. Then I would go around the city until I saw a hostile, maximize the drugs and go on a rampage.

It was fun, though...
