my 360 that i got when Res evil 5 came out(i wanted the red one, and got it ) was my first since the old 64 days

I think that paying for the online stuff on Live is well worth it, there is a shitload more players online for the MW2 on live than on the PS network...

Last time I checked there was like 300K+ people on PSnetwork for CODMW2, is that not enough to find games?

300K+?! It's surely more like 3,000,000+ no? I mean, last time I checked the leaderboards, Ducky had just signed up for this and is like ranked 3,000,000 or something for kills...

Fuck FIFA, play PRO!!!!!! I still stand by it. Sorry Marty, I bought FIFA 10, I tried it, I played it, and I liked it... I really did... but I still prefer Pro!

And get GTA IV too. And, forget all this PS3 vs 360 shit that people are yapping about. PS3 rocks, 360 is also great.

you are the only one who prefers PRO I guess you can't handle the realism of real soccer .

Lol "realism of soccer".

I'm not the only one, there are plenty of people who prefer Pro. FIFA's a good game, I already said it, but it still feels so cartoony, and the camera views are so far away from the ball. I dunno, like I said, it's a good game, and I'd have no problem playing it, but if both are lying around and I coud only pick one to play, I'd pick Pro.

whats the name of the pro soccer game? I want to look it up.

My roommates in college had fifa i guess it was '07 at the time and that shit was awesome we had some awesome battles

October 15, 2009 - Hopelessly dated and creaking in so many respects, playing PES 2010 can initially be a disheartening experience when coming off the back of EA's astounding FIFA 10. In comparison it's clunky, its feature set paltry and its presentation amateurish – as players who have been enthralled by PES since its trailblazing entries at the turn of the decade, seeing PES lose its grip on the football throne has become a melancholy experience for fans that gets sadder each year.

But after a dedicated weekend in its presence we're left as hoarse as fevered fans walking away from a thrilling derby, our vocal chords scratched by the screams and yelps that accompany an 89th minute goal-mouth scramble and our knees chafed from dropping dramatically to the floor after scooping a potential winner up into the rafters.

Click to see the new tactics options in play.

EA and FIFA might be the new champions elect, but that doesn't stop Konami from staging a party of its own with PES 2010, a game that's easily the best series entry on the current generation of hardware. While it can't boast of being the most realistic take on the beautiful game anymore, it's got a good claim to being the most fun.

Given PES's tradition of being the most authentic game on the pitch, it feels strange applauding its more outlandish nature - but with EA Canada dedicating its craft to creating the most life-like game possible it's what we find ourselves doing now. Games zip from end to end with restless glee, ambitious shots from 30 yards out stinging the cross bar and quick-fire crosses met with violently weighted headers.

This is football concentrated, the game's greatest moments boiled down into something that's instantly gratifying and almost without fail produces encounters that are thrilling and intense. Which, of course, is a formula that PES has always peddled - and it's only in the light of FIFA's depth of realism that it comes across as arcade-like.

But in certain regards this is the most polished iteration to date, with the graphical overhaul that everyone's been begging for finally here, in a fashion. In a certain light it's a more attractive game than its chief rival – more specifically in the hazy late afternoon light of a dusk match, with patches of sun glowing convincingly on the pitch and casting convincing shadows across the player's newly restructured faces. In stasis it's remarkable, the player likenesses uncanny and the natural lighting imbuing everything with an appealing glow. In motion it's a little less impressive and while a select suite of new animations join the fray it's a world away from the organic flow of FIFA's matches.

PES 2010's biggest addition – the 360 degree control of dribbling – doesn't make quite the same impact as it's had in this year's FIFA, though it certainly lends the game an added layer of fluidity. Indeed, most of PES 2010's on-pitch additions amount to little more than a nip here and a tuck there, with it all combining to make the most assured take on PES's formula since its PlayStation 2 heyday. There are some not-so-successful amendments too – Graham Poll seems to have been consulted on the new refereeing system, with eccentric decisions frequently causing outrage and the advantage rule not as prevalent as it has been before.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

Historically FIFA has more mainstream, Pro has been more for serious fans. In the past, Pro was the game you'd get for the gameplay, but FIFA for all the aesthetics... they (EA) have all the licensing stuff for proper logos and team names etc, whereas Pro (Konami) spent their money on the gameplay, but only had certain licensing agreements in place, therefore doesn't have every single team name correct, and kits/logos etc. People would look past the logos etc to play Pro because it was just a much much better quality football game. It was more challenging to score, control passes etc etc.

More recently though, FIFA's caught up on the gameplay, and Pro's caught up on the looks department. They're as even as they have ever been in my opinion, but I still think Pro's better. Much more control over what your players are doing imo. In FIFA I think it can be too easy to score a lot of the time, and the CPU does a lot of work for you in other situations.

Like I've said before though, both games are great.

COD MW2
GTA IV
Pro / FIFA

That's all you need.

Opinions are opinions. I like both games, just prefer Pro.

You'll never, ever see 3 Million people playing online, that doesn't make sense. Maybe 3 Million copies sold, and even that's cutting it close since they were still under 2 million sold in Nov. for PS3.

[martinez]

3 million sold and of that 3 million, 1 million have wi-fi connection and of that 1 million that have wi-fi connection only 500,000 play regularly online. doesn't mean nothing

Oh yeah, not online at the same time, I thought you meant how many people there are who have the game on PS3. Either way, it doesn't matter if you have 300,000 or whatever, there's never any shortage of games. The argument that Xbox has more players is a complete moot point, whether it's true or not.

Ya after my first game, I was about 5 million something. So there's a lot of players for sure.

I know. I said that. Hence why I brought it up in rebuttal earlier...

Tomb Raider games are also nice and cheap.
