X360A: It’s that time of year again when the majority of sports titles can expect to have their annual update, leading to a flood of last year’s titles hitting the trade-in bin and a minor raft of improvements being lauded as major new features in the new version. With this kind of annual tradition taking place, it may seem strange to preview one title above all of the others, but then again, there are few titles with more riding on them than PES 2011. The last few years have not been kind to what used to be the football title for purists, so can we finally expect to see a return to form? We went hands on with the latest version to find out.
