The Pro Evolution Soccer series is one that has struggled to make the transition from the previous generation of consoles to the current one. Konami haven't been helped by the fact that in that time their main rival, EA's FIFA series, has been improving and tuning its already successful game. The PES series was once hailed by football fans alike, but its fan base now consists of mostly die-hard fans who hope for the games of old. 2010 sees the fourth PES game to be released on "next-generation" consoles and it finally looks as though the series is moving in the right direction; However, too many of the problems from previous games remain, meaning that 2010 is still not the re-birth of the series that fans were hoping for.
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?

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".
I enjoy it.
i don't know why there is so much of hate for PES. it plays well where it should - on the field.
