lost in games

Keith Stuart over at Guardian Unlimited’s Gamesblog declared PES the most disappointing game in 2007. I could not agree more. I have been a loyal supporter of the series since its PS1 days but this last iteration has been a disaster. I decided to punish Konami for releasing such a game by not buying it and instead opting out for EA’s football game which although not perfect has a lot going for it (pace and the Be a pro mode).

I just hope that Konami has now learned a valuable lesson that even their most loyal followers may desert the series if it stagnates. It is time they took it to the next-geneation we expect PES to be in. Smooth online play and with more options and less arcadey if possible. And also the presentation desperately needs to improve.

Fingers crossed for next year.
