Next Generation

I am always a last adopter of games consoles. I think I bought a Ps2 about three years after it came out. Of course, I still haven't gone 'next gen', because I am not convinced by the pricing of either console, another GBP50.00 off Xbox and about GBP100.00 of the Ps3 would make them realistic I reckon. I reckon if I hold off until perhaps January/February (and we are still using money at that point), economic pressures and the post Christmas slump may lead to a hefty price drop in the first Quarter of 2009.

Also I have been hearing a lot about the 'Ring of Death' again on the XBox. I have read or heard about 10 cases over the last month or so. I thought that it had been resolved! I heard Matalan are doing a run on cotton towels.

Fifa 2009 Vs PES 2009

Vs

Ok it's that time of year again with both EA and Konami releasing their top selling football games within a few weeks of one another.
Personally I have favoured the PES series over the last few years as I have found it more realistic and less arcadey than the Fifa games. However the last installment of PES that I bought for the PS3 was a big dissapointment both in terms of graphics and the terrible slowing of the game play that seemed to occur fairly frequently.
So which is going to win the battle of the football simulations this year?

Well Fifa has the more licences as always, which means it will have more accurate kits, player and team names and competition names, and from the demo which i have played on the PS3 seems to have dramatically reworked its ball striking engine (which badly needed doing). But what really matters to us all is the gameplay, and at this moment in time I have a hunch that PES will still be the superior gameplay.

They came for brains, you give them bullets!

SW - Force Unleashed Offer

Anyone getting the new 'stars wars: force unleashed' game? Apparently it is not too long but its pretty cool while it lasts. The graphics and physics on the 360/ps3 are probably are cool. The wii version I think has some motion sensing, but I am not sure about how good that is until the motionplus attachment arrives, making lightsabre fights a bit better!
