Mate , it's my first season , i'd  cleared out some deadwood ( Keane, Pennant and a few others) and used the money to  sign some really exciting prospects Tony Kroos (Bayern) Alexis Sanchez (Udinese) Bojan (Barcelona) and Leo (Gremio) , was really looking forward to watching their development.

Tip to any other FM 2009 managers, take a look at the profile on these players.

Im now into my 3rd season with new German owners  :D

Players I signed in my first season were:

Alberto Paloschi - Parma/Milan (co owned) - £2.5m for each club. With regular games becomes an excellent striker.

Also signed Mihael Kovacevic from Dundee United for £350,000. Again becomes an excellent player and cheap to sign as well.

Just signed Gojko Kacar from Hertha Berlin for over £16m. Might be cheaper in the first season.

No sign of a new stadium though  :oops:

I know I'm always about 5 years late on reviews... but how good is Alone in the Dark?!?!?!
At first, when I got the Fire extinguisher at the beginning, thought it was an awful game... but I'm loving the groove now!

Resident Evil 5 demo is nothing like the taste of a game i was hoping for.

Controls like your wading through blancmange?  Think i'll pass on that one.

I think Capcom are somewhat reluctant, or even afraid, to try and change the feel and control of the series. It was a great departure for them to change it so drastically with RE 4 and feel that the formula there worked so well in their favor and the risk paid off for them, so maybe they felt no change was needed. It does feel dated and clunky, but it's in keeping with the classic RE feel. Still, walking, or even running while aiming and shooting would have been nice.

Presentation wise, this game is second to none IMO. Easily some of the best graphics to date on any format, and the in-engine cut scenes look almost pre-rendered quality. People can bang on about KZ2 and how it looks. For me this is as good as if not better looking.

No doubt the game will turn out to be a real classic this generation. I think it'll be a mistake on your behalf to give this one a miss.

Did you get a fair amount of screen tearing as well?

Im not sure how far off going gold the software is, but i would hope (as the mention at the title screen admittedly said) that some of these 'bugs' are able to be eradicated before March. Presentation was indeed fantastic....though that alone doesn't make a great game. Look at AC.

I'll give it another shot some time i think, to be a bit fairer. It also doesn't pay to be too hasty i suppose either. It just 'felt' awkward.

FIFA is losing its charm for me, legendary manager mode is becoming extremely easy.  The team just keeps getting better and better, 13 points clear right now.

Try starting over again on legendary with a team like Rochdale or Chester. It's more fun building your team up from nothing into a league winning outfit.

I did notice some, aye. Though that could be just down to sloppy conversion of the Jap demo. This build is fairly old as well I'd say. I've seen that location, level and cut scenes since over 2 years ago. If you've seen the most recent trailer of it, it looks amazing and should be one of those games where you play for the surprise and to simply see what happens next, just like the original back in 1996. Personally, I think Capcom should bring back the old shambling Zombie again, only this time have them in their hundreds like Dead Rising, and bring it back to it's roots with refined controls.

I agree,excellent as it looks and I cant wait to it comes out,the 300 MPH zombies with weapons does worry me a bit.Theres also shi'loads of them as you say!
The last RE I played was Nemesis on the PS2.It was pretty much the same as the others.Dark and full of atmosphere,most of the time you were on your own in the game and you only ever encountered one or a few zombies at a time.But IMO that added to the tension because you never knew what was around the corner.

I hope theres not just gonna be loads of zombies all the time,the game does not need all action like a shoot em up.It looks a lot closer to a shoot em up now.It will be too predictable if its like that and that will ruin the game for me!
Still gonna buy it though,I just hope its not steered to far from the things that made the game great and original!

Does anyone know if I have to update Fallout 3 to patch 1.1 before I install  OPERATION ANCHORAGE?

I have a copy of Operation Anchorage, but have heard there is a lot of problems with the patch, so I would rather not install it if that's possible.
