PST reviewed PES 2010 and tried to solve if Konami finally save the series. Here's the summary.
The first thing we noticed that the improved graphics. Face modelling is great but player's animations are still bad. Players are running like an umbrella and they don't have any flexibility when they are falling or running. Also, game's dimmed color palette can easily be annoying.
Gameplay is still the same, PES is not changed and it is not enough now. The needs were changed with the beginning of next gen. Unfortunately, PES' gameplay is not enough to meet the needs. When you experience the 360 dribling system in Fifa 10, this game has no cards to impress you. Of course, PES fans will still play and love this game and loyalty is a good thing. But if you want a football simulation, PES 2010 is not the good choice for you.

TPV Writer Tom Writes: "A carefully reasoned and informed discussion. With myself. And who knows? This analysis might give FIFA some much needed credibility (not that I over estimate my writing powers at all), because let’s be honest, Sep Blatter is so crooked, he sleeps on a spiral staircase. So corrupted, Microsoft Word can’t open him. You get the picture, but don’t worry Mr Blatter. Here to help."
"In reality, Lionel Messi is the perfect poster boy for Pro Evo. He personifies everything this game is. Flashy, annoying as hell, and overrated."
Well I already hated this article before I read this part but that was icing on the hate cake. Pretty much everything he said was unjustified.
Brought to you by EA games. I take it PES somehow beat this kid up and stole his lunch money?

Konami have reported that the patch adjusts the defender AI to allow for more consistent pressing from various situations and includes a series of alterations based on feedback from users.
Sadly, the old adage that beauty is only skin deep can easily be applied to some of this generations' video game releases. Megabits of Gaming looks at 10 titles that have split opinion...
Yes, it looks great, but with 94% on Metacritic, I don't think it's quite accurate to say that it got "slammed" by critics. Even with the cutscenes, it's still one of the best games of this generation.
Why the hate for Final Fantasy XIII, I for one think it was one of the best games this gen, I love the story, the characters, the world, and the graphics of course.
It was ok for a shooter, but it certainly wasn't a looker when released. The models were next-gen but the flat environments and low res textures certainly weren't!
Games like FFXIII, MW2, MGS4 etc. were not "slammed" by critics, look at their review scores.
I hate the perception of the video game review system. It seems like games scored below 90% are "average".
PES 2010 is the best ever but this FIFA employees keep trying to trow PES to the carpet.
im in the beta.
the game does "not lag"
it does lag very bad when your connection is very low.
but if you have dsl or better you are ok you will have a good time.
