PES 2009 released

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 was released in Europe this week, to the delight of its large fan base. New features include a “Become a Legend” mode, which allows the player to start a career with their 17 year old avatar; working their way up to becoming the best player in the world and a licensed, UEFA Champion’s League mode. Scratch the surface of the series’ many forums, however, and you will find mutterings about 2009 just being a PES 2008 “2.0”, without enough new features to warrant praise.

LittleBigPlanet delayed

Massively anticipated Sony create-em-up LittleBigPlanet has been delayed due to an in-game song containing verses from the Koran which Sony was worried some may take offence to. The game will be released in the US on the 27^th October, while the UK will have to wait until the 5^th November.

PSM3 get PES answers

Pro Evolution Soccer creator, Seabass, has conducted an interview with UK gaming magazine PSM3. In the interview he admits to never having thought of any other currency system in the Master League mode other than “points”. He also states that he regularly plays FIFA, to gain inspiration. If playing FIFA 09 makes Seabass realise that the series needs online functionality improvement, then I’m all for it.
