on the shelves
Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (The W at Amazon) (gamestats). Reviews are varied on this game, which came out in the UK last fall. There’s some improvement here, but it reads like a roster update for a franchise lacking licensed rosters. There’s some major PS3 slowdown issues here, and the online version just makes it work.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot (gamestats) but there’s no reviews out there. This is a equal of a 360 launch title. This week’s twist on a horror/first person shooter: you’ve got to get booze in your system, or you’ll start shaking.
