we'll play.

I tried to snag Forlan, he's super expensive though.

I actually hate soccer, but I've enjoyed soccer games in the past. They were rather arcade-like though, and I can't imagine I'd enjoy Fifa if it captures soccer in all its guys-running-around-the-middle-of-the-field-making-no-progress glory.

Been playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 myself. Wii Playmaker controls are amazing. Took me a while to get used to the controls but it's so satisfying to score after you complete an intricate passing pattern between several players. Now I just need to learn how to play defense so I can avoid 6-5 games against quality teams :D.

I'd pass on it then. It's kind of like NBA 2K11 in that regard. I loved NBA 2K9 because it was easy to make 3pters with anyone. It was a shoot out every time. Every time I play NBA 2K11 it's a final score of 20 something to 30 something. It's an awful game if you aren't into the whole defense oriented, drive it in and get fouled kind of play.

FIFA is a lot of passing back to try different angles, and a lot of well timed crosses.

The best video game trailer I've ever seen. Hopefully the actual game can live up to it.

I've been playing Dead Space 2 constantly for the last 2 weeks. Just got back from the bar tonight, time to fire up the terror.

When I tried fallout 3 last year I didn't really care for it. Last night on a whim I decided to try it again. Now I'm hooked and I can't stop thinking about it.

I guess bulletstorm is going to have to wait.
