E3 2010 EA Sports MMA Says "Eat My Fists" In October
Sorry, we switched off during Peter Moore's presentation of EA Sports MMA during EA's press conference last night

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.

News Drew Brees Headlines Madden 11 Cover, We Don't Really Care
Look, we're British
We're sorry. When someone says football we think of the sport where you, y'know, play with your feet. Not that other game people call football that's absolutely not football.

News FIFA 10 Will Sponsor, Erm, Swindon Town
This is a bit of a weird one really
Lowly Swindon Town are to be sponsored by EA Sports' latest and greatest FIFA 10.

Still, having a video game splashed across a shirt for a full year is a pretty big deal for...

We're still not used to the subsequent years after a video game franchise not being "oh-something"
Meh, whatever. Here's the first trailer for FIFA 10. Apparently it's all using in-game graphics — we presume the slow-down and depth of field effects won't be present in the final product. We loved FIFA 09 though, we just hope they can fix the...
