EA always keeping an eye out for acquisitions

"If we're interested in moving into a particular genre of gaming, or bolstering our presence in a certain area, then we'll look at the market landscape to see who's performing the best and who, of those companies, is a good strategic and financial fit for EA. Then we determine whether an acquisition makes sense. Sometimes we hear from a banker that a particular company is for sale and we evaluate if we want to own the company or not. It's sort of like dating - we "date" a lot of companies, but it has to be a fit both ways for us to "marry" and integrate." - EA's Carolyn Rohde

Who could be next up on EA's slate for purchase? It's been awhile since we've seen any purchasing sprees. Any companies you can think of that are ripe for grabbing?
