Been playing PES 2008, or as Pro Evo as I like to call. Christ what a change, totally changed control system and it takes a bit to get used to. Am starting to get the hang of the attacking side of it now, and by god its good.

My defending needs a lot of work, a quick shake of the wii remote pulls the offside trap and everyone races forward a few yards. A shake of the nunchuck while holding z and you do a slide tackle...what I tend to do is get the the wrong way round, leaving about 3 forwards piling in on the goalie and my defenders running away

Online mode could do with a few more options, like tournaments etc. Only a play a friend and a play anybody match option there atm.

Attacking works a treat, the movement of players, the passing and even the shooting is so comfortable, so easy to get the hang of.

Defending is much harder, not gotten to grips with that side of it at all yet. Its early days though, if I can get the time I'll figure it out. The offside trap is a brilliant thing, just not when you don't mean to do it

The online play in the game could be brilliant, but they really need to work on it and get some tournament and league options on the go.

The game I have been looking forward to is due for release in the uk next Friday.

Mario Kart! Loved this game on the snes, and online it should be superb. Not sure how it will work with the nintendo wheel, but I am looking forward to trying it out.

Just got my email from Game, my copy should be here by Tuesday because I did their 'First to Play' preorder service.

I cannot wait!

Mario Kart and the new Super Smash Bros Melee

not surprised Wii is outselling the 360 and PS3.

Nice

I would be jealous but probably best I do get it on Friday so I can't either miss work or go in shattered from playing it. Looks an absolute beast of a game though!
