Why do the players when the ball has been passed to them wait for the ball every time? It really stops the run of play when you want to make a quick break. Is there a way to stop them waiting for the ball to come to them?
The goalkeeper AI is really really bad. The amount of goals scored from long range when the keeper is facing the wrong way is just plain stupid. Since when does a goalkeeper face the wrong way when the opposite team is racing towards goal?
What is up with the through ball? Is it just me or does it try and pass it to the other team unless the player you want to pass it to is in the box?
One major thing which i really hate is taking a free kick. I turn and face my team mate and press the pass button. It then passes it to the opposing team! Why does it do that?
Finally why is it when you really want to clear the ball and give it a good smack out of trouble that they touch the ball as if they are going to break it? I have lost count of the times ive needed to just clear it, but they just header to the opposite team for them to say “thanks ill take that” and put the ball into the back of the net.
Is it just me? Are there things i can do to stop these things fro happening?

It is supposed to be outstanding an with the upgraaded Xbox LIVE gameplay: PGR4 sets a new standard for racing on Xbox LIVE, allowing drivers to build a global racing community through team-orientated gameplay while making it easy to find their favorite races or images.
This sounds awesome so is it time to get to the shops and buy the latest PGR4 and start building up the Kudos?

Would you buy one?
I don’t think i would, it just seems to be a gimmick. I just don’t think i would use it enough to warrant buying it. The PC is for messaging my friends and rarely use the basic message features on XBOX Live let alone signup for MSN on the XBOX i want to play games!
Here are the features listed from XBOX:
- Chat on Xbox LIVE with ease featuring dedicated keys to letters and characters.
- Don’t hamper your style—the Xbox 360 Chatpad attaches seamlessly to your Xbox 360 Controller.
- Backlit buttons allow you to accurately type words even in dimly lit environments.
- Messenger Kit includes the Xbox 360 Wired Headset for the ultimate communication bundle.
It just doesn’t make me want to buy it.

I imagine it will be so much fun especially online when there others working in two’s to beat others.
The video was very funny and much more for adults what do you think?

To make it seem even better they have also launched some stunning adverts to entice you to buy it at www.halo3.com
The adverts are simple but very effective. Using emotion and detail they capture your mind.
Many people say that TV ads are dead – an opinion that I usually support. But they do work if you make something as spectacular as the Halo 3 ads. They are some of the best I have ever seen.
Every time you watch these ads you see something new.

Have you seen or played the demo of Pro Evolution Soccer 08 (PES08).
I am very undecided on if i like or not. Back in the day i was always a FIFA player but more recently ive been crossing over and playing PES. One of the reasons i decided to switch was more and more of my friends were playing PES so i went for it and switched.
The latest demo of PES08 ha been released and i have downloaded it from XBOX Live and eagerly been playing but im not sure if it is good or not. Yes the gameplay has improved but there are some annoying things in there like the passing and it has become very hard to get past your opponents. In the last version if you were on the wing you could slow up wait for the player to come near then power past them if the player you had the pace. In the PES 08 i can’t seem to be able to do that and it is frustrating.
Another thing which might just be me but if the ball floats out of the box to your player i want to be able to give it some and volley it back in the goal but you can’t, more often than not it keeps wanting to chest the ball down but i just want to hit it!
The graphic have most definetly improved whih is good and the speed of the game is far better. PES has alwys been kno to be slower in the gameplaay but i am very glad it has speeded it up a little.
I have decided to give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 what do you think?
