How brilliant is this! I came across this game – Democracy2 - via an eye-catching Google ad and thought that this could be a bit of fun to try out.

For anyone who has been following our bestseller list you will see that Fifa 10 has proven to be a popular choice with gamers over the last week.

As we normally we do we stick up the game and invite readers of the blog to post their views on the game as a guideline to other readers and gamers out there.

Below is the write-up for the game from the retailers:

Last year’s game topped the league and now the all-new FIFA 10 is looking to defend its title as the number one football action game.

Brand new this year is the 360 degree dribbling system, giving you the most precise control ever. There are also changes to how the defensive line is formed, as well as improvements to crosses, freekicks and goalkeepers (who can now receive red cards).

Naturally the game retains its hugely successful on and offline multiplayer modes, with new options and better stability for online play. The manager mode has also seen a massive update to make it just as deep and complex as the main game. With all these new features and more EA Sports are betting on FIFA remaining the champions for a long time to come.
