I do not know if it is simply the fact, that I haven't played FIFA 05, 06 and 07, but the fact is that I love FIFA 08 on the Wii.

Most reviewers, be it pros or plain people like myself, have agreed that this game is nothing more than OK, it is a 6'ish game and to some probably yet a disappointment for the Wii as such. However, I have enjoyed the game tremendously; granted, it took us (my brother in law an myself) some time to get used to the controls.

I can see how someone who is used to precision controlling in every move and shot can be frustrated with "powering" the shot just right. But for those who does not own every copy of FIFA and are not power users of the game, I find it an excellent edition that I will be enjoying for many more hours to come.

I have not tried the online part of the game and I am not quite sure I really want to; I believe this is where the game will feel most inferior to e.g. the PS3 and X360 versions. Sketches brought the PS3 version home - it looks awesome but I am enjoying the Wii version just as much if not more.

On a different note, purchasing a second "current" generation console is likely to not happen after all. I was unable to convince myself (perhaps my girlfriend a little too ) of the necessity.

I recently turned twenty, no not in real life but here on Gamespot level-wise, and thought maybe it is time to look towards more mature games. By this I am of course implying that the Nintendo Wii has not proved to me to be as much fun and exciting as I had hoped.

I am thus currently to be considered in the market for a "true" next generation gaming console. I should say right away that most likely I am not going to play this new thing a whole lot; I am however one to often feel the infamous itch - the itch to purchase something new and entertaining.

This itch has not exactly deminished over the course of the last fort-night, during which Sketchy has purchased not the Xbox 360 nor the PS3 alone, but both! By many such an act is to be credited (virtual) insanity alone and not the expected path of a righteous man and genuine PC gamer.

Hopefully I will have the chance to try both of these fine machines in the near future, hereby building a solid foundation to make a decision on - the decision on which of the consoles to ultimately bring home from a shopping spree. In the unlikely event that he will not be needing both, I shall not stray from offering my help and offing him one of them.

Lately rumors to my where-abouts have been surfacing all over the web and some have come to the conclusion that I have simply vanished from the face of the Earth. Nothing could be farther from the truth; both what I just stated in that last sentence and the postulate that I should no longer be here.

The fact of the matter is, that I have had my hands full between our six monts old daughter, working overtime and wanting to do everything and nothing at the same time.

Game wise I am holding out for Phantom Hourglass for the DS and Fifa 08 on the Wii. I recently purchased both Evil Resident 4 and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, both for the Wii of course. It just seems that I don't really get to play these games and that's downright a terrible shame.

Still have Twilight Princess to finish as well...
