FIFA Soccer 09 Gamespot Review Rated 8.5 PC,PS3,Xbox 360,Wii,PSP,PS2,DS, Release Date: Oct 14, 2008 FIFA 09 plays better than ever before, and a wealth of new modes and features add plenty of longevity. UK REVIEW--It's been a busy 12 months for EA Sports and football games. FIFA 08 was a genuine revolution for the series, with a more realistic pace and improved AI adding some much-needed depth to the gameplay. UEFA Euro 2008 came six months later, further refining this ground work while expanding the features list with more unique game modes. With FIFA 09--the third EA Sports football game in a bit more than a year--they've honed the core gameplay even further, and added even more features, game modes, and online elements to the mix. It amounts to an incredibly deep and varied package, and despite a few niggling bugs and performance issues, FIFA 09 is the pinnacle of the series so far. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/fifasoccer09/review.html?tag=tabs;reviews Tags: Fifa 09 video review EA Sports ps3 xbox 360 soccer football gameplay trailer |

NBA Live 09 IGN Review Rated 6.5 PS3,Xbox 360,Wii,PSP,PS2 Underrated Score not sure how IGN can give Madden 09 8.8,NCAA Football 09 8.4 and score this game 2pts lower. Proper rating would fall somewhere between 7.0-7.9 NBA Live has been having quite a run of bad luck over the past few years with gameplay elements that were simply flawed in execution or completely unrealistic to the sport. As a result, there's been a concerted effort to remake the entire franchise and streamline many of the mechanics that had gotten out of control. While last year's title was the strongest the franchise has been in a while, ultimately it was still disappointing. This year, EA Sports has chosen to go completely back to basics, focusing on elements like low post play as well as pick and rolls. It's also tried to focus on the stats of the game with its new Dynamic DNA system, which attempts to present the action on the court the way that it plays in the NBA. While these decisions for the game are laudable, the implementation of many features feels incomplete when you hit the court for tip-off. To start with, one of the newer additions to this year's game is the pick and roll system, which lets you control both a ball handler and a player setting a pick during a play. This is a fundamental part of the game, and in NBA Live 09, it works really well. To call for the pick, you press and hold the L2 or the Left Trigger button, and a teammate will run over. Depending on how long you hold the button or if you make a move will determine what the screener will do by a basketball meter above the ball handler's head. Release the button before your ball handler makes a move, and your teammate will slip to the hoop, which can lead to a great break to the basket. If you take the screen, releasing the button before the meter gets halfway, your teammate will roll towards the basket, while filling the meter more than halfway will cause your teammate to pop out for a shot. Used effectively, you can perform incredible alley-oops or draw off defenders and free a teammate for an open shot. It's an excellent mechanic that works incredibly well.

Skate 2 Park Session PS3,Xbox 360 Release Date: TBA While there are a ton of new tricks at your disposal, what you can do off your board is just as important as what you can do on it. As I've talked about previously, objects can be pushed and pulled around the world to create new lines or even entire new spots. The cool thing is that while you're able to use them for your own purposes, you can save and upload your spots online for other people to mess around in. Last time out there were pre-defined Own the Spot challenges. This time, it's your spot that you're challenging others to try and claim. Changes to the environment, big or small, will stay put in the game regardless of how long you play, with the exception of things that would essentially break the world, like putting a picnic table in the middle of the road. If you move something, it'll stay there, and just like in the real world, you don't need to manually save anything -- it just stays. Should you decide that you no longer like your giant stack of trash bins that you've carefully balanced on a fire hydrant, you can easily return the items to their original position by just grabbing them and pressing down on the D-Pad.

NBA 2K9 "On The Spot" NBA 2K series fans, prepare yourselves for the 2K Insider because he's going to have a big effect on the future of your favorite basketball series. The mystery blogger/statistician/arbiter of all things NBA 2K will make his first appearance in the upcoming NBA 2K9 as the centerpiece of a new online feature the developers behind the game are calling Living Rosters. We had a chance to get a sneak peek at the Living Rosters feature, chat about the 2K Insider, and get a feel for the new franchise mode in NBA 2K9 during a visit by 2K Sports developers earlier this week. First of all, the developers at 2K are entirely aware of the competition. As any hoops gaming fan knows, EA Sports' NBA Live 09 announced its player DNA feature a few months back, whereby in-game player attributes will be updated based on real-life results. 2K understands that Living Rosters might sound like a similar feature, and they're quick to point out its essential differences. The crucial distinction, as they put it, is the "human touch" of the 2K Insider, a hired employee whose job it will be to not just act as the face of the 2K Sports community, but to also have a real impact on the rosters in the game. As with the competition, you can expect to see roster and attribute changes when you download a new 2K roster in NBA 2K9, all based around what's happening in the real world. However, rather than update things on a daily basis, 2K devs told us that the plan was to change a roster when it was warranted. Naturally big-time injuries or huge trades will be reflected in the game on a timely basis. What seems to set 2K9 apart, however, is how those changes are made and how much they can add to the gameplay experience. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/nba2k9/news.html?sid=6197851&mode=previews Tags: NBA 2K9 |

Hockey has always been one of the most visceral and immediately rewarding sport-to-videogame translations and this year's slapshot contenders offer one of the toughest choices in recent years. NHL 2009 offers a revolutionary new Online League feature with persistent character upgrades, while NHL 2K9 offers a more accessible version of what has been one of the most technical renderings of hockey ever made. In this week's Grudge Match, Insider readers voted on which hockey game is the true champ this season. Dave Clayman, resident Insider guru, and Hilary Goldstein, Editor-In-Chief of the Xbox 360 Channel, are here to bring you the results and debate the pros and cons of each game.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 Gamespot Review Rated 8.0 PS3,Xbox 360,Wii,PC,PSP and PS2 Tiger Woods 09's controls aren't vastly different from TW 08, but they're much more forgiving. You start your swing by pulling back on the analog stick and then strike the ball by moving the stick forward. A more traditional three-button-press option is available at any time by clicking the right analog stick. Last year, the slightest deviation left or right during your swing would result in a terrible shot, particularly if you were using a golfer with low skill attributes. This year, not only are you punished less severely if your swing isn't perfect, but you also get instant feedback via an onscreen meter that shows exactly how you moved the stick. By monitoring this feedback, you can learn how to straighten your swing or compensate for your natural swing by adjusting your aim or by adding a draw or fade to the ball with the press of a button. The addition of Tiger's own coach Hank Haney to TW 09 makes hitting the ball easier as well. You can now head to the driving range and adjust each of your clubs to best suit your playing style. For example, if you're struggling for accuracy off the tee, you can increase the sweet spot on your driver. This will help ensure that your drives stay on the fairway, but you'll sacrifice some distance. This level of customization is often intimidating in sports games, but here, the process is simple and worthwhile. TW 09 includes 16 golf courses, which is the same number as last year. New courses include Wentworth, Sheshan, Wolf Creek, and Bay Hill. The Gary Player Country Club in South Africa is an excellent addition to the mix, but it's disappointing that there aren't more courses--especially when you consider how quick EA was to charge for downloadable courses in 08. The roster of male and female professional golfers is about the same as before, but there are a few new faces, such as Se Ri Pak and Darren Clarke. Like previous iterations, you can create a golfer using the game's deep customization tools, and you can even import your own photos to make a truly lifelike version of your mug (you can even add eyebrows this year). Money is earned by playing on the PGA Tour or by completing events, such as beating golfers head-to-head, driving the ball a certain number of yards, getting a particular score on a group of holes, and more in the Tiger Challenge mode. Cash can then be used to buy new gear, some of which carries a small skill bonus. Unlike in the past, you'll actually have to earn most of your attributes on the links with the new dynamic skill-progression feature. After each round (and most challenges), coach Haney will raise or lower your driving, accuracy, short game, and putting attributes based on your performance. Rather than punish you for playing poorly (though he still does that), Haney gives you the chance to earn a few points back with brief challenges where you try to hit the ball into a large circular target. The new system isn't perfect--sometimes Haney will tell you to drive into bushes, put you in an impossible lie, or lower your putting attributes even when you set a course record--but it's a great way of making character progression feel organic. No dramatic changes have been made with regards to online play, but a few tweaks and additions go a long way. The most notable change is that you can now play with up to three other people at the same time online. Being able to all hit at the same time really speeds things up, even if the colored trails that show other players' balls are sometimes distracting. With the gamernet feature, you can quickly upload a shot, hole, front or back nine, and even a whole round with the press of a button. You then are able to go online and play a nearly endless stream of challenges. You'll have to filter through some ridiculously easy and impossibly difficult shots for the best experience, but even if you don't feel like searching, you can still enjoy the feature thanks to periodic challenges (long drives, closest to the pin) that pop up during single-player rounds. Last year's game had a ton of problems when it came to playing online, downloading photos, and uploading gamernet clips, but so far, all of TW 09's online features work great.
