Pro Evolution Soccer is the best footie game series ever. Fact. And the PS3's power means that Konami's latest game, PES 2008, is an absolute belter. Its beautiful, super-sharp graphics, detailed likenesses, smooth movement and realistic animations and lighting effects make this as close to watching the real thing as you can get – and of course you're controlling the action. The ball physics are just one of the many, many things Konami have improved (none of that cannoning-off your shins that went on in previous versions), and ball control now is pin-point accurate.

This Is My Joystick NEW Celebrity Games Columnist OJ Borg Laments The Death Of The PS2.
The power of the PS2 was the social aspect; that dragged Gamers in. Nowadays we don’t need to see, smell or entertain our friends as we have Xbox Live and the shabby PS3 online thing, but back then, we used to have to be in the same room to play these games. This wasn’t a new thing, but the games just made it all-encompassing.
Games like Tekken Tag Tournament were great for a night of lazy boozing and gaming. Track and Field with a Multi-Tap was where we would give different names to the competition, depending on who was there (“AAA” if it was the poorer player’s, right up to an Olympics once every four weeks). We even had a little drugs scandal, when we decided to ban the use of socks on fingers to help mash the buttons.
The PS2 was a once in a lifetime machine, but honestly I hadn't seen a new one available here in the states in almost 5 years. The news that they have ceased production worldwide is basically symbolic.
The epic fight between the two soccer giants Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA has been going on for over 10 years now. Cynamite takes a look at the scores from both games and shows, at which point PES overtook the FIFA series.
PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far
I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.
2000 - 2005 -> PES dominated since the PS1 days but then it came PES 2006 it was a major letdown
2006 - NOW -> Fifa started to show its quality on this current gen and it evolved year after year while PES was still way behind.
A shame that games like "This is football" just vanished during the PS2 days
pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement
Its funny to read or talk to the FIFA fanboy they cant accept the true and hate PES.
If you go to the FIFA forums they talk Bs. About pes and they hate it.
In the Pes forums they respect Fifa and many will be getting the two and we aré confidente that PES11 is better and the kind is back

Where is this game?? When's the release date in the US? What stores are gonna sell it? I've looked to pre order. Gamestop said, they won't carry it. I don't see it at amazon. This game is like a ghost and why no demo on the PSN store?
There's something kinda strange going on about PES.
PES NOT ON AMAZON TRY .CO.UK I THINK YOU MIGHT FIND ITS TOP IN FUTURE RELEASES AND THE PS3 OWNS THIS OVER 360
NOT ON AMAZON ONLY FIRST AND SECOND ON PLAYSTATION CONSOLES OF FUTURE RELEASED GAMES OH AND IT SELLS MILLIONS OVER HERE 8 MILLION LAST YEAR ALONE
Is almost seems like this is a European release only.
It's definitely not a Europe Exclusive, but with Football being a European fav sport, it is released in Europe first. It may be some time before it comes over the shores (now you know how we feel about waiting for other games).
Also have you heard the words "Region Free" and "Importing" before?
That's wy you probably can't preorder it yet ;)
BTW, PES pwns FIFA so bad its not even funny :p
