News GamesCom 09: New FIFA 10 Trailer Is Brilliantly Well Cut
FIFA 09 was a fantastic football game
Probably the pinnacle of this generation. FIFA 10 will try to build on that by not changing too much, but improving everything that came before.

News FIFA 10 Will Sponsor, Erm, Swindon Town
This is a bit of a weird one really
Lowly Swindon Town are to be sponsored by EA Sports' latest and greatest FIFA 10. The team are floundering in England's third division - England's League 1 - and aren't likely to pull it much extra exposure for the game. Still, having a video game splashed across a shirt for a full year is a pretty big deal for...

We're still not used to the subsequent years after a video game franchise not being "oh-something"
Meh, whatever. Here's the first trailer for FIFA 10. Apparently it's all using in-game graphics — we presume the slow-down and depth of field effects won't be present in the final product. We loved FIFA 09 though, we just hope they can fix the...
