I wonder why...?
12/07/09
Specifically, that was given as the reason magazines are labeled a month in advance. If it's mid-August and you see two magazines on the shelf next to each other, one labeled August, one September, all things being equal, which are you going to pick up?

Madden on the other hand is labeled by the year the american football season ends in, this season ends in 2010, so the game is for 2010. That's why the baseball games coming out the same year as 2010 football games are labled 2009, the season is all within this calendar year. Not sure about this book, I guess 'cause it comes out in 2010 is as good a reason as anything else.

Unless this new book shows some grotesque pictures of the world's biggest WoW nerd or the world's longest consecutive gaming streak without a shower, I think I'll give it a pass. The glamour years of showing off freaks has, for some reason, become (Insert finger quotes) "politically incorrect" and "passé.

Let's see them use that quote.

I would argue the PSP/DS is the perfect bathroom companion, not a book.

I know you said "bathroom reading" which is specifically why I said companion, seeing as the psp isn't exactly a book (though you -can- get comic books on it now).

Don't be silly, it'll be made of the same shiney paper all books are made from these days, and that stuff isn't very absorbent...

Yeah, spare me the tree that came from.

Seriously, i've played both -- not just the demo's, we've got full versions of both in the office. FIFA is VERY good, but PES is still the serious footballer's game.
The delicate subtleties that PES has continue to show -- for me anyway -- that FIFA is not really for the serious, serious football fan.

@NoBullet: So the football that's played only in one country IS "real football"?
Yah, I think 2 billion triumphs 300million dude. Stop trying because you'll loose this one.
And I love futbol but one thing I hate is the fucking dives. THat is true.

Baseball: Run bases, run for ball.
Football: broken up into single plays
Basketball: Run down the court for 5 seconds, sit there dribbling the ball for 15, make a move. Repeat.

But, sure, try and break something really complex down into something stupid like that. I mean, it's not like we have multiple recent World Champion female teams, and more kids playing soccer in school than most European countries.
No, we hate it because we are unathletic, despite our many soccer wins, including one over the Europeameisterschaft champion of Spain this year... despite or constant Top 3 placement in the Olympics and many world record breaking athletes...
Surely, you nailed it with "30 seconds of movement." You, sir, are a genius. Someone! Get this guy a Rhodes Scholar! He's solved the mystery! All hail, Adhominem!

Pro Evo failed to step up to the next gen with it's last 3 outings missing the quality of their PS2 hayday.
FIFA nails a fantastic product in 09 and has everyone eagerly waiting for 2010
A fully licensed product that everyone is heralding as the best football game on the planet (92 metecritic score) gets released at £25 by most major retailers compared to £40 that most are released at and becomes the fastest selling game in it's genre.
Could we be seeing more £25 releases of top tier titles?

I don't know why people buy from Game/Game Station - Tesco midnight release everything and it's always a lot cheaper.

'09?

Play the demo. I own FIFA 09 and feel FIFA 10 is well worth investing in.

The manager mode is greatly improved, the online seems smoother, the teams are obviously a lot different, the set piece editor is genius and the new live season is a great touch.
Get to tesco or amazon and it's £25, then buy the subscription for £7 (or dont) - you are still getting a fantastic game at a big discount.
It's one of those games where, you might not notice a massive improvement at first glance but after you play it for a day or so, going back to 09 is a big let down.
