(compiled/wendy) according to overseas media sources, the Wall Street Journal notes that the company's share price has risen more than 15% per cent over the past six weeks as it was expected to boost the high volume of holiday sales.  But the Medal of Honor, which was rated lower after its release, led to a fall in EA shares, the second time since the 2007 Medal of Honor 2: Hero. The game is currently on the Metacritic website (dedicated to collecting comments on movies, TV shows, music albums, games) to get Metascore for 74 points, Metascore score is based on the scores of major media to consolidate to a calculated average score, lower than last year's best-selling game--  "Modern Warfare 2". Experts have a wide range of reasons for the fall in share prices, says Colin Sebastian, a market research firm Lazard Capital CMC analyst, who believes the market is using the news to lock in on recent gains, said brokerage MKM analyst Eric  Handler that it would still be a popular game. Handler said: "This is an EA-built High-quality game, EA has intellectual property, because there is no license fees and royalties, profits will be above average, I am optimistic about the Medal of Honor."  "Despite a lot of marketing activities a year ago, analysts say EA should be wary of continuing the campaign in response to the Call of Duty: Black Ops, which will be launched next month." Last month, US game retailer GameStop announced a total ban on the Medal of Honor near the U.S. military station because of the sensitivity of the multiplayer "Taliban" set-up in the game.  But this week, EA finally made concessions announcing that it had renamed the "Taliban" in the multiplayer model to "resistance". According to the latest news, the Los Angeles Times published an EA statement that said the score would not affect the game's successful sales. The statement said, "in the Medal of Honor series, the game has the highest booking volume," Medal of Honor "series has been quiet for many years, this will be a new start," Medal of Honor "represents the EA into the shooting game market a big step, this is a protracted war," Medal of Honor "is a start.
