When it comes to our demographic, no game is more important than the releases of FIFA 10 and PES 2010. We're now less than 12 hours from the game releasing in midnight launch areas. With 12 hours to go, we still do not have a copy of the game. We've knocked on the doors of EA, left voicemails and e-mails but no response since we were assured review code back on August 3rd 2009. With hours to go we're that desperate to pick the game up before the midnight launch we've even tried some unscrupulous tactics at local game stores.

I don't want to be up till 6AM this morning reviewing the game and ensuring that we get out the most comprehensive review of the game on the internet. Yes, the major press get fantastic viewing figures but out of the reviews i've read for the game, none of them contain the detail that FIFA fans yearn for. The next 24hrs will be extremely hectic and I can see myself ultra fatigued at work tomorrow. My fingers lay crossed that we can get hold of this game before 9pm this evening, otherwise i'm going to feel like sweaty turd tomorrow.
