The agony of choice (and missing crucial penalties).

It’s a slow news day here at PEOWW but we imagine other, less sweary, sites are cuffing themselves to death because today EA and Konami go head-to-head with demos of PES: Whatever and FIFA: Again hitting the Live dashboard.  What do we think?  Fuck it, I’m writing this the night before while listening to Senser and drinking tea (all proper tea is best and this is a hat-doffing zone).

So let me guess.  I’m thinking that FIFA: Beleven will be more or less like the last one but imperceivably different which will lead to at least a hundred people on GameFAQs wetting themselves and proclaiming it much better than Fifa: The Previous One.  They do it every year, even if EA set the bar at Euro 2008 and are settling for attempting to headbutt it.

As for Pro Devolution Soccer, well it’s the same every year.  You’ll batter the opposition.  The keeper will save everything.  After about ten attempts on goal, the AI will hoof it forward to “the big man upfront” and he’ll blast it straight at the keeper, all Heskey-ish, who will spill it into the path of some AI cunt and it’ll be annual write-off PES day.

Still, we get to re-use that image.  Which makes us happy.  Stay tuned as we tell you ‘told you so’/eat our hats (*delete as appropriate).
