Much like his transatlantic counterpart, Harry Brown plays a similarly jaded, melancholic war veteran in a decaying dystopia where he has no place and no purpose.

		<description><![CDATA[The Pro Evolution Soccer franchise (formerly ISS) has been a big part of my pathetic little life for over ten years, starting with International Superstar Soccer Pro on the Playstation 2. Despite being besieged with fictional player names, sporting no club teams and Peter Brackley’s duff commentary (“What a poor example of poor officials”), it was a foretaste of the immensely playable game engine that would adorn its many sequels. And with this watertight engine as its main draw, the franchise was established as the market’s leading football simulation year after year. That is, until now, where Electronic Arts’ steadily improving FIFA series has launched a coup d’état with its most polished product to date, impressive enough to see a large number of the PES faithful jump ship. I have always maintained that I would never turn to the so-called “dark side”, but with Konami failing to improve on its shortcomings (lack of licenses, substandard presentation, baffling goalkeeper A.I), many of my friends with whom I would often lock horns – be it online or in one of many frenzied sessions at one another’s houses – were crossing over. Am I destined to be that captain who stays on his sinking ship?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=spamthrax.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6931940&amp;post=77&amp;subd=spamthrax&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
