In two minds on whether to pick up Saints Row 2 for 20 quid as my next game & now you go & say that

How much better is 09 ?

It's certainly strange watching a game load up without a shuttle taking off

I personally think it's the best footy game of all time, but if you're happy with 08 then stick with it. I know a few people on the OcUK forums who were big 08 fans said that 09 didn't feel quite right for them. You could download the demo and give it a whirl, if the marketplace is back up to speed today

Fifa 09 blows Fifa 08 away. Faster and slicker in every way and now players have a pre-determined strength rating, so any one coming up against a Terry, Drogba, Ferdinand, Vidic etc.. will lose out on strength, but then again, they might not be able to catch a Ronaldo or Messi because they can now switch the ball between feet so much quicker.

Players clearly feel very different. I would say everything in Fifa 09 is better than Fifa 08 and it's definitely worth buying.

Dude, you have to get Fifa 09, I can whoop your ass on that then

Got to agree with buying FIFA 09. Well worth it.

Do we have enough for a BD Knockout cup ???

Wossi · 20-11-2008, 12:45

I'd be up for that, would get knocked out in the first round but would be a laugh.

Just shoved an opinion about it, in-depth, on my blog: http://www.nokkonwud.com/?p=323

nice and subtle there

so far impressed though. Now I've had a wee play with it on a pad (not a guitar...) it's perfectly easy to use and pretty quick. Anytime you have to wait for it to pull some data from XBL it holds up a moment which can be a pain. Still the fact it appears to be in a higher res = bonus points.

Now if only my new theme would downlaod. Trying to get one of the GoW2 themes and it stops at 1% and says: Can't download this item

But still takes my money
