After taking what can only be best described as a long break from videogames (I am still playing them, just not with the same passion as a few months ago) I decided to dip back into PES2010 with a bit more vigour recently expecting nothing more than a half decent, but flawed digital kick about [...]

After the most recent podcast I thought it would be a good idea to elaborate on a topic that was touched upon on my first team outing with the team. D-pad or Analogue? It is a debate that continues to rumble on in the PES universe. But what if instead of the developers offering both [...]

Seriously, I’m pi$$ed. All the rubbish so called professional journalists are spouting can get anyone irate, what with calling us PES fans blind, or fanboys. I mean, how impartial can a statement like that be? And how much respect do you stand to lose by not being able to see faults and positives in both [...]

There used to be a time when any mention of tricks and skill moves sent a shiver down the backs of PES fans. It was at a time when FIFA utilised them as cheap moves to beat an opponent, during which in PES using natural movements and wrong footing an opponent was all that was [...]

A common wish by sports enthusiasts and disgruntled PES fans alike, is the desire for 2k Sports to enter the football game market. It’s even something I’ve flirted around with on twitter recently, including getting in touch with some folks in the industry about a possible 3rd football game. Today though I ask myself, is [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates, been away with work for most of the week. Coming back to the world of PES, and the release of the FIFA 10 demo, I’m full of optimism for PES 2010. No really, and thats after playing a hell of a lot of the FIFA 10 demo. Hit the [...]

No doubt about it, I missed the hell out of PES 2010. Not being able to play the game for 5 days was pretty bad for me, especially as my trip to Milan was heavily involved with football activity. Being back, much has happened while I was away. I thought I’d talk about those things [...]

The PES 2010 playtest was a very nervous experience, and something I couldn’t begin to describe or attempt to put into words. A series that’s given so much pleasure over a decade has done the opposite in recent years, and more than ever this year is the year it can simply not fail to deliver.

It’s been an important week in the world of PES. We got the first trailer of PES 2010, along with some impressive screenshots and interesting motion capture information. Yet with all this information, it seems that the enthusiasm has dropped from before it all hit. In a week of ups and downs, we discuss how E3, motion capture [...]
