spider-man, spider-man... GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!

ugh... i don't believe i'm still awake at this bloody hour... i mean... even with school starting late and all... gotta thank fifa 06 and ultimate spider-man for that... the 2 new additions to my xbox library... damn you microsoft for releasing so many games at this time...

fifa 06... i never liked 05... simply because it was outright inferior to winning eleven... but this title has impressed me a great deal... ok the AI still isn't exactly gonna take over the world, but it's smart enough now to make a football game decently tough... the graphics are much more polished now and the gameplay's more of a challenge... of course there's a downside to it all... fifa may have all the licences, but they didn't exactly craft out each and every player in detail... i mean c'mon... marlon harewood has friggin' hair... and he looks just like anton ferdinand's player model... pfft... and it's still not as realistic as WE nor as customisable... though it's a decent stop gap till WE9 comes...

ultimate spider-man... a real gem of a title... ok, the boss battles can get frustrating... if you're not one for patience... but swinging around a beautiful comic book rendition of new york is simply astounding... and the technique used really makes the game feel like a comic book come to life... i've always loved spidey, and the ultimate version of spider has captured my readership... this game only enhances my perception that it's one of the best spidey titles i've read... definitely a game for those of you who love your comic books, spider-man and 3d games comic-ised... did i mention that web-slinging around new york city was cool? =P
