It's dark and lonely in space
Title: FIFA 10Publisher: EA
Developer: EA Canada
Release Date: October 2, 2009
The FIFA series has come on leaps and bounds over the past few years, adding a host of revolutionary features and enhancing the gameplay so significantly that it’s barely recognisable from its earlier years. EA claims to have pushed the series even further this year with three new innovations. The first-ever true 360° dribbling system gives players finer control of the ball, enabling them to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible.
Using an all-new animation technology, skilled dribblers now have the ability to face the defender and use highly responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him. An innovative concept called Freedom in Physical Play enables players to perform wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender. We've virtually worn out our copy of FIFA 09 and can't see it being any different with FIFA 10.
Title: Dead Space Extraction
Developer: Visceral Games
Publisher: EA
Release Date: October 3, 2009.
Developed exclusively for the Wii, Dead Space Extraction is a prequel to the survival horror series that reveals the events leading up to Isaac Clarke’s mission on the USG Ishimura.
Dead Space Extraction tells the story of a handful of space colonists desperately struggling to escape from a horrific infection on the Aegis VII mining colony deep in the furthest regions of space. The game introduces a new heroine to the fiction and as the crew fall victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the ship, it becomes clear that protecting her may be their only hope for survival.
Dead Space Extraction introduces all new characters, weapons, enemies, puzzles and co-operative multiplayer gameplay. If Visceral Games can nail the motion controls then Wii gamers are in for real treat and a few frights along the way.
