FIFA scores more than PES "FIFA 08 looks, feels and play like reality", that comment in the review made me laugh. Oh and this one from the PES review was even more hilarious "Those searching for realism and exact simulation of the sport should go for FIFA"

[Bleeders]

Finally a review that sees through PES2008's bull**** and calls it like it is.

Again.

Well to be fair i think PES is lucky to get a 7 in the state that its in currently. As an overall package it doesnt suprise me at all that FIFA out scores it, thats just testiment to the fact EA havent been lazy like Konami.

Also LOL R&C gets the same score as Conan.

[Swallow]

Wonder why they reviewed Episode 1 and not Team Fortress 2.

And what!? they have a Galaxy review? To the newsstand, STAT!

"FIFA 08 looks, feels and play like reality"

Perhaps the guy is after a job in the EA PR department?

[Dogg Thang]

Wonder why they reviewed Episode 1 and not Team Fortress 2.

By the time it went to print there was probably nobody on TF2 so it would have been tough to give it a fair review.

Timeshift: 5
Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction: 6

Dissappointing scores there.

And no review for HalfLife 2? They could've made up for not reviewing it the first time round.

Yeah, I think both those games are deserving of higher but hey its a matter of opinion I guess.

Mario Galaxy gets a stunning review! "Nintendo has crafted a platform game that is level for level for fun to play than Mario 64" and "A landmark videogame" are couple of quotes from the review. Can't wait to play this now!

Waayyy to high for timeshift I would give it a 4

[MarioMark]

What game is on the cover? It's gotta be Galaxy surely!

Yup its Mario looking over Earth with the words WORLD DOMINATION

[MarioMark]

Nice!

Shall be picking this up, I think issue number 63 is a good time to start buying this mag. A nice round number.

[Geoff D]

Only 9 for Galaxy!!? Roar, snarl, cancelled subscription, grrr, bias etc etc.

So is Fifa '08 this years footy game of choice then?

[VR46]

A 8 for Pixel Junk Racers, bit OTT if you ask me.

Won't even mention the EoJ score.

[Jebus]

I find it funny people not liking the 7 for PES2008. Why exactly should they mark it higher? It's broken online as well as featureless, there's nothing new to the game apart from a new front screen. Jesus even the subs screens/team management is exactly the same.

I wonder, is the irony of it being called Pro Evolution Soccer lost on everyone?

It still plays a wonderful game of football (if a little too fast paced to be real) but a 7 is just about spot on in my opinion.

Fifa getting an 8 is about right for me too. I hate to say this kind of thing but I will on this occasion...Anyone thinking PES plays a more realistic game of footy is behaving like a rabid fanboy and needs to take of the ol' rose tinted specs. I'm not saying I hate PES, it's still a good game after all.

How come they have a Galaxy review, has it been reviewed anywhere else yet?
