Review: FIFA Soccer 11 (Wii)
I haven’t enjoyed a FIFA game this much since the GameCube days. I’ve kept up with the series since then, but have always found it lacking when it came to gameplay. And honestly, FIFA 2011 for Wii plays more like a Major League Soccer side on the pitch than an English Premier League team, but it has a new addition this year that makes it quite street soccer.
Two modes allow you to play street Streets to Stadiums and Hit the Streets.
Streets to Stadiums had me absolutely hooked for its entire five seasons. In it, players create a character who starts out playing soccer on the streets. These five-a-side matches are so fun they should be the template for EA’s next FIFA Street game.
Wall passing to yourself and teammates, constant back heels, crazy volleys in tight space, taking on your man one on one…it’s all in there and it’s all perfect. As someone who enjoys real street soccer

Gaming has just always been something I've loved since I was a wee lad. Ever since I picked up that NES controller and played Super Mario Bros...much like any gamer, really!
Video games were actually the impetus for me going to college and earning a journalism degree. If not for EGM, Nintendo Power, OPM, Expert Gamer, GameNow and countless other magazines I don't know what I would have done after high school! I'd like to think professional footballer for Liverpool...well, a man can dream can't he?!?!
Right now I'm replaying Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. I keep up with all the big-time releases, (Marios, Halos, etc.) but I'm also always trying to whither down my pile of shame.
I game on all systems. PC is my least played platform, but five years ago I've finally started to play classics after finally buying a home computer. I've now enjoyed games like Half-Life and others I had only read about before having a mouse and keyboard controlled gaming rig.
Some favorite games of mine: Metal Gear Solid series, almost anything Mario, Halo, Xenogears, Fallout series, Final Fantasy Tactics, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Suikoden 1 and 2...Well, pretty much any good game from any genre except for sports released from the NES era and on. Then it is only Mario sport titles and Winning Eleven and FIFA.
Sad fact about me: I'm desperately (perhaps hopelessly) waiting for a new Shadow Hearts game. :(
Update: It's September in Minnesota (getting chilly), and I'm enjoying Borderlands 2.
