Thesame old battle between Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) and Fifa will go on this year as Konami release another good PES game with Fifa improving once again. We now have two great football games available, the competition can only be a good thing.
So how does this years Pro Evolution Soccer game fair? Well like normal it's the same game that has been tweaked in a way to improve the experience. But unfortunately, like every year, Konami have improved some areas and not others while removing some perfectly good features. Ultimately in this version there is overall improvement and this is also the first version as I've been able to jump straight into the game and enjoy without thinking 'the last one is better' for the first 20 odd games.
TPV Writer Tom Writes: "A carefully reasoned and informed discussion. With myself. And who knows? This analysis might give FIFA some much needed credibility (not that I over estimate my writing powers at all), because let’s be honest, Sep Blatter is so crooked, he sleeps on a spiral staircase. So corrupted, Microsoft Word can’t open him. You get the picture, but don’t worry Mr Blatter. Here to help."
"In reality, Lionel Messi is the perfect poster boy for Pro Evo. He personifies everything this game is. Flashy, annoying as hell, and overrated."
Well I already hated this article before I read this part but that was icing on the hate cake. Pretty much everything he said was unjustified.
Brought to you by EA games. I take it PES somehow beat this kid up and stole his lunch money?
The latest patch for PES 2011 is now available to download on 360, PS3 and PC. PS3 and Xbox 360 users as normal and PC users should be able to access the patch by selecting online mode, and your default browser will open with a download link.
Konami have reported that the patch adjusts the defender AI to allow for more consistent pressing from various situations and includes a series of alterations based on feedback from users.
Sadly, the old adage that beauty is only skin deep can easily be applied to some of this generations' video game releases. Megabits of Gaming looks at 10 titles that have split opinion...
Yes, it looks great, but with 94% on Metacritic, I don't think it's quite accurate to say that it got "slammed" by critics. Even with the cutscenes, it's still one of the best games of this generation.
Why the hate for Final Fantasy XIII, I for one think it was one of the best games this gen, I love the story, the characters, the world, and the graphics of course.
It was ok for a shooter, but it certainly wasn't a looker when released. The models were next-gen but the flat environments and low res textures certainly weren't!
Games like FFXIII, MW2, MGS4 etc. were not "slammed" by critics, look at their review scores.
I hate the perception of the video game review system. It seems like games scored below 90% are "average".
