News First FIFA 11 Screenshot Won't Exactly Blow Your Socks Off
FIFA games are really, really good
Seriously, ever since FIFA 08 (roughly), EA Sports have been on a roll with the franchise. The thing is, FIFA screenshots are really, really boring. This first screen from FIFA 11 is no exception. It's Chelsea vs. Arsenal. It's John Terry. Wooohooo.
1998 was a sensational year for the video games
If I name-drop just a few of the releases from that year it's pretty easy to note why. Metal Gear Solid. The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. Half-Life. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. Heck, even Fallout 2. They all released in 1998, a year which, in hind-sight, has long been considered the most important...

News The Debut Trailer For The Sims 3 On PS3 Makes Us Want To Punch The Wall
It's apt that the debut trailer for the console version of The Sims 3 is being hosted on MTV
It fits right in. Now we have no real problem with "scene", teeny-bop humour and stuff - but this is a step too far for our tastes. It's like, it's trying so hard to be hip, new and cool that it comes across old and tired. Just show us the game...
