FIFA 11 Release Moved Up to Make Room For EA Sports MMA
The FIFA series has settled into mid-October releases which in turn have provided a cushion from the the NBA games (first Tuesday of October). However this year with the release of FIFA 11 the game is scheduled for September 28th. The reason it has been pushed up is linked to EA Sports MMA. That game will hit stores on October 19th. Again I can't help but think there are just too many sports games being released in a very short stretch of time. In just a six week span EA Sports will be putt...

2010 FIFA World Cup Impressions
Over the last year or so I've really started to take more of an interest in soccer, and though I've found myself enjoying the FIFA franchise it has been to a somewhat limited extent. I've spent most of my gaming time with Online Team Play which has provided for the cooperative play where I could concentrate on a single position and learn the game in the process. The actual standard mode hasn't been all that compelling to me. In the past I've had a tendency to enjoy the off-year FIFA tit...

2010 FIFA World Cup Hard Drive Evaluation
With 2010 FIFA World Cup in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360. Installing to the hard drive not only has proven to cut down on load times, in some cases significantly, but it also reduces stress to the system and the noise it produces. World Cup has some lengthy load times, and surprisingly the hard drive install didn't offer much improvement in loading to the main menu or into a match. Ho...
