EA Los Angeles hosts Real Racing 3 event
Visitors who walk or drive into the parking lot of Electronic Arts' Los Angeles studio were greeted with a McLaren MP4-12C parked out front. Yep, you were definitely in the right place for the Real Racing 3 preview.

Just in case there were any questions about why the reporters were there that day.
EA's special guest: Donald Faison
Electronic Arts brought in actor Donald Faison as a special guest to liven up the preview event. As every reporter besides CNET came from an entertainment background, the room was generally more interested in Faison than Real Racing 3.
Drinks on EA
Electronic Arts knows how to work the entertainment media. In the corner of the conference room was a well-stocked bar, which some in the room took advantage of early on.
Touring the EA Los Angeles office
EA decided to give the reporters a tour of the office, which was filled with cubicles and had a slightly industrial feel to it. In the middle of the main hallway were a few arcade machines, a foosball table, and lots of candy (which was brought out for the sake of the journalists).
EA goes old school
What video game studio would be complete without an old-school arcade game like Gauntlet Legends?

Giant Scrabble wall
In one conference room was a giant Scrabble board on one wall. It probably makes for some interesting meeting exercises and brainstorming sessions.
Searching for Real Racing glitches
Video game testers were playing Real Racing 3 on various iOS devices in an effort to root out glitches and any other problems. The game will launch on February 28.
