After what seems to have been a relatively quick summer, the football season returns and that means the current champion is back to defend it’s crown. This is FIFA 14.
While some in the gaming community continue to wonder why a sports game needs a yearly release, I am amongst the majority in anticipating the latest game from EA Sports. In order to play the game first hand,* I attended a lock-in event at my local GAME store and was able to play the demo* which was released yesterday (Tuesday 10th September, 2013). Now that the warm up is complete, it’s time to see how this game performs under pressure when it’s late in the game.

Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
