Fifa 2008 - The woes continue

Posted on Sun, 2007-11-04 22:11

As well as the previous problems with Fifa 2008, the game continues to piss me off as I try to play it a bit more.

I tried, and that's that.  The game is not accurate at all and is inconsistent to say the least. The game seems to randomly decide whether players run through each other or tackle the other play, and when they do tackle the player there are only 2 outcomes.  One being the player tackling falls over leaving the attacking player with the ball through on goal, the other being the playing tackling wins the ball but doesn't control the ball because it would be too much to ask for him not to be a complete twat with 2 left feet.

Timeshift

Timeshift is a science fiction first person shooter for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The game has already been released for PC and Xbox but the release for Playstation 3 is scheduled for December.

Timeshift is not completely revolutionary but it is somewhat different to a lot of the generic FPS's that have been coming out recently.

Need For Speed: Pro Street Demo Preview - PC vs Xbox 360

Posted on Sat, 2007-11-03 11:43

I have played the demo on both the Xbox 360 and the PC and without a doubt in my mind the Xbox 360 version is a hell of a lot better.

FIFA 08 - Dear O Dear

Posted on Sun, 2007-10-28 15:13

This is not a review as I haven't played any of the other recent FIFA titles or played any Pro Evolution Soccer either.  This is more of my nightmare playing FIFA 08.

The list pretty much grows everytime I play it, and I guess I should stop playing it but I played for it so I should play it and enjoy not that that has ever happened in my 5 hours or so of playing FIFA 08 since receiving the game.

I will start off with actual in game problems that I have constantly.

Crysis Demo Fiasco

Posted on Fri, 2007-10-26 13:57

Well EA know how to screw with people don't they.

The long awaited demo for Crysis was set to be released today with no information saying otherwise.

Many are aware that the demo was due out on the 26th September but was held back a month, with no reason given.  There were beta releases through EA and FilePlanet during that time, so they were either trying to get the game up to demo standard as they were still running behind or they wanted to squeeze money out of gamers by using hype to get them to sign up to FilePlanet.

But that was a month ago.  EA announced that gamers would see the Crysis demo on the 26th October.  It turns out that this was purely for those that pre-ordered the game through the EA Store.  If you bought the game through the EA Store you get to play the demo 24 hours before everyone else.  The price in the EA Store in the UK is £34.99.

Test - Windows Live Writer

Posted on Fri, 2007-10-26 07:11

Well this is a test for posting a new item using Windows Live Writer.

If you can see this then it works.

Windows Live Writer is a desktop based Weblog writer from Microsoft which is much like Microsoft Word in that you have some of the standard WYSIWYG icons for making bold text etc.

It seems to integrate seamlessly in to Wordpress with no problem which I for one find surprising.
