I say this every year, but it remains relevant every year – I prefer Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) to EA’s FIFA. This year is no different, at least where the on-pitch action is concerned. I hope EA is ultimately rewarded for taking the step to include women’s soccer in…

Friday 10s/PlayStation Vita/Sony/The Friday 10

I don’t think there are too many pundits out there that honestly expect Sony to release another handheld console.
