In terms of game, Bloomblox was actually pretty good for a puzzler.
The issue was that despite this being an 'major' exclusive, it didn't get a lot of good advertisement and a puzzle game even on the Wii is more or less a niche sell unless a major name is attached, which Steven Spielberg might be among movies and tv but not so much among gamers. Dead Space Extraction was a much better case but because they went for the on rails shooter genre, which was a heavy concentrated genre among the Wii for obvious reasons, they came off as looking lazy despite it being a good game.
Honestly, it seems like in a lot of cases EA is like a average guy that tries to ask a girl out but either dresses badly or opens with a offensive pick up line. Despite none of their 'tests' being bad, they usually make it seem worst then it is by doing something that seems like they are cutting corners or releasing an inferior product or just threw something out there that wasn't a major product and are calling it that.
