Resolution's Jon Beach writes: Regardless of whether the sport is losing credibility and taste, football games are still very big business. FIFA titles maintain a regular position in the charts throughout the year, have gradually improved in quality since the 2007/2008 editions. The franchise’s main competitor, Pro Evolution Soccer, has done quite the opposite; and has lost its reputation as the hardcore kick-a-bout of choice – partly down to minute improvements in the game engine, visuals and general playability over the years. Year in, year out, Seabass and his team at Konami have promised to overhaul the engine, revamp the graphics, and bring players an online experience they deserve; free from lag and slowdown.
Only Pro Evolutions: ''The PES Team have terminated the online servers for Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.''

XMNR: Amazon released its special weekly deals for the week of October 16 and it includes discounts on Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Nail'd, PES 2011, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and a pair of wireless headsets.
On Black Friday I imagine Deus Ex will be $19.99 or possibly even below that...
Even Resolution-Magazine has finally succumbed to N4G.
