Fifa vs. PES
Fifa 08 vs. PES 2008
Presentation – FIFA
While both games have true next-generation graphics, FIFA excels in the life-like look of the players, unlike some from PES, who look nothing like their real-life counterparts.
Sound – Tie
PES’ horrible soundtrack is what it lacks in the sound department. FIFA’s is considerably better, although with the Xbox 360 you always have the option to use your own music. In my mind, PES’ match commentary is better than FIFA’s, that maybe because I live in New Zealand and do not listen to the Sky Sport commentators featured in the FIFA game, whereas regular Barclays English Premier League matches broadcasted in New Zealand are often commentated by Jon Champion.
Online – Fifa
I was unable to test PES 2008’s online capabilities, however I was fortunate enough to try out FIFA’s, and boy, did it rock! With the newly addition of 5v5 on Xbox Live and Playstation Network, FIFA 08 puts many other multiplayer games to shame, being beaten by only some of the greatest shooters in history.
Gameplay- PES
This is one area that PES has always been marginally better than FIFA in, however this year was closer than ever. FIFA has opted for a more realistic, slow game, whereas PES has stuck to quick ball control and speedy players. With the addition of fake dives and quick free-kicks, PES looks certain to dominate for a while.
The winner is… FIFA 08! I will be heading down to Noel Leeming tomorrow to pick it up, however only just did it scrape past PES. Congratulations EA, you have created a successful football title!

Sensi Soccer Finally Released!
Also according to Major Nelson's blog, Halo 3 is STILL top of the Xbox Live charts holding off extremely strong competition from Call of Duty 4 which has to settle for second place. Also amazing is that Gears of War, which has already celebrated it's first birthday is all the way up in THIRD, ahead of new boys Guitar Hero III, Assasins Creed and Mass Effect!

2007 Fall Dshboard Update... A disappointment
music and pictures has been okay however. Not to mention that the 'Inside Xbox' news feeds are not avalible to New Zealand residents is another major drawback. I managed to access these feeds using my dummy US account 'HatefulUniform'. Add him if you want to.
