#4 of 2009: FIFA 10
The ranking of games in the best of 2009 list is based primarily on the personal amount of enjoyment had with a particular title. Some other factors include whether advertised features were fully delivered on, post-release support, community interaction and communication, overall gameplay experience, feature set, and online play performance. Again this is a personal take on the games. The analysis is weighted largely towards those which I had the most fun with while considering them as a who...

2010 FIFA World Cup Release Date
While speculation continues as to the new EA Sports game that will be announced in January one of the most glaring possibilities is that it will simply be making the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup official.

Amazon and Gamefly have both listed 2010 FIFA World Cup for Tuesday April 27th. Obviously at this point it is a te...

FIFA 10 Hard Drive Evaluation
With FIFA 10 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. For FIFA 10 the actual install process took 10:16 and the game comes in at 6.2 GB. That is the longest timed install but not the largest since the capability to install be...

EA Sports and the Brees Dream Foundation are now offering pink and black Drew Brees jerseys for the avatars on Playstation Home. The jerseys are sold for $2 with all proceeds going to the foundation which supports breast cancer awareness. The jerseys will be available until November 11th. NBA Live 10 is coming to the iPhone later this month. After the success of Madden 10 on the iPhone it'll be interesting to see if a basketball game can translate as well to the platform. I ha...

FIFA 10: Fastest Selling Sports Game Ever
Contrary to the perception of many in the US, the most popular video game sport in the world is soccer. Consistently games like FIFA, PES, and management sim spin-offs do incredibly well.

While it won't release in the US until October 20th FIFA 10 has already broken worldwide records following its European launch. EA Sports has announced that FIFA 10 has sold 1.7 million copies in its...
