  1. Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects Updated Impressions

    Reviewer: IGN Entertainment
    9 February 2008

    We have to call the match between Spidey and Ohm a draw. The wins were flip flopped on nearly every round, with each character being very evenly matched. We are still very impressed with Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects , even though the full game was not available at this time. The graphics are superb, the characters have beautiful moves which are enhanced by small mini-matics, and the Daily Bugle is a destructible dream. Even the neon “DAILY BUGLE” lettering... Read more

    2006 FIFA World Cup is a perfectly playable football title that happens to include a fair amount of content for a game based on a single tournament. Gameplay still lags behind the mighty Pro Evolution Soccer in a few areas, but the 'first touch' and 'off the ball' systems continue to impress. Presentation is great as expected, making this the perfect title to celebrate the World Cup with, even if it's not the perfect footy game. Read more

    Oooh I'm so excited, the World Cup kicks off in tomorrow! Football widows will be tearing their hair out for 5 weeks while footy fans everywhere stay glued to their sets or get themselves stewed down the local boozer, or in my case try and pre-empt the results with FIFA World Cup 06 from EA. EA have been criticised on more than one occasion for milking a product to death and the FIFA series falls firmly in this category, every year we get a new version with some slight... Read more

    It's a fun game it's a good game, but EA drops the ball again this game should have been so much better its like they didn't tested, here's and example: in the spanish commentary when you pass a ball to a player they say he's name but a lot of the times they say the wrong name, during half-time why can't you see the stats or make subs, i remember FIFA Road to the world cup 98 for the Sega Saturn when you had a stop ball you could pass the ball in 3 different ways: 1....
