Though I recognize the entertainment value and respect those who put in the time to create custom teams, modify the roster lists of entire leagues to reflect their current situations, trade and sign those players for various contracts, and then take their carefully tuned teams through seasons and tournaments...that's just not me. I'm much more of a pick-up-and-play guy when it comes to sports games -- especially soccer -- and I guess I blame that on being born in a country that thinks "football" should be something else entirely. So if you're looking for that management perspective on Pro Evolution 2008, you won't find it here. But what you will find is someone who actually played the sport for quite some time in his younger days and frequently enjoys friendly matches of what was once called Winning Eleven. And from that perspective, I don't see much in Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 that's worth this year's annual investment.
Superficially, there's absolutely no reason to upgrade from the stable and refined PS2 version of the game. Here we are, more than two years into a console lifecycle, and the Pro Evo series doesn't seem at all interested in making a serious attempt at impressive visuals. The resolution is higher, but the opportunity to improve player models, field textures, and general lighting is wasted. If you run a side-by-side comparison between the PS2 and PS3 versions of the game, you would probably notice some differences, but the overall look of the game still feels old because it doesn't make the graphical "jump" that it's overdue for. There's even a little visual regression; frequent (and unacceptable) slowdown saps the energy out of what should be exciting replays, and it even affects in-game action from time to time".
Welcome to the ‘Top 10’ weekly feature. Each week we will be taking a look at the top 10 selling games in a particular genre, platform, most recent month, even sprinkling in the top 10 selling games from a past year. All sales specified will be worldwide, unless stated otherwise.
This week we will be looking at the top 10 bestselling games published by Konami. Last week we looked at the top 10 selling games published by Take-Two and the week before that the top 10 selling games of May 2012. If there is a particular top 10 you want to see leave a comment and it may be featured in a future top 10.
Why is this a rumor? Isn't this an article/news story? OT I wonder how many copies each MGS and its subsequent re-releases have sold combined.

Dutch gamingwebsite Gamecloud made a special about the probably longest gaming war in history. Part 1 is about the past, where part 2 will be a preview on both games coming up, being FIFA 10 and PES 2010.
the next gen version of pro evo
is simply not the best football game available.
the ps2 version considering its background
seems like the better choice.
