Apart from the fact that Pro Evo 2008 jerks around on the 360 like a Atari VCS trying to do smooth frame vector graphics on its various replays and bits, the game itself still plays ok… but somehow it seems to be even more annoying than Pro Evo 4/5 with its *little* niggles…
The moment i’ve been dreading… but GTW64 really does need updating/modernizing and i’m going to have to start tackling the inevitable, so it may as well be now. With around 8,000 – 10,000 pages, it’s not going to be particularly easy in my free time to convert this beast… but as with any redevelopment of old pages its for the best. It was a rather long train journey to York and a lot of daydreaming which ignited some enthusiasm to take on the task. 
As well as various improvements to design, removal of deadwood and better structuring of pages… i’m also having some frantic programming/logic spats to produce a few functions which I can use to convert the bloody thing across to the new template I devise. I have a few ideas which should work in theory – in maybe a 2 or 3 step approach
Hmmm… a dynamic news page, improved A-Z navigation, RSS feeds, AJAXed elements on the front page… but after all the hard work
Right… which ba****d decided that the new Pro Evolution Soccer game shouldn’t also be released on the standard Xbox?
With a supported release list consisting of the 360, PS2, DS, PSP and PC, i’m slightly narked off that they’ve decided to avoid the old xbox altogether! Considering that probably more people still have the old Xbox compared to the 360 because they cannot afford one yet… this decision is a little screwed (And the 360 version pretty much looks like a standard Xbox game too).
So that means i’ve got to wait another 5 years until 360’s are about £20 in Game until I can play the bloody thing 
… PES5 it is then…
It’s rare that a more modern game causes me to go crazy and praise. But then this game is 7 years old now, and i’ve been playing it since its launch in 1999. This is my very brief tribute which i’ll extend at somepoint when I get more time to do screenshots and downloads.
Around 10 days to go, and already the hype of the world cup is in full swing, not only with the England players and Wayne Rooney's injury recovery, but also with all the various TV specials and advertising related to football.
