World Cup 2010 Night In

Seeing as the World Cup is now fully in swing, I decided to take advantage of T-Mobile’s Night In Offer and rent out FIFA South Africa 2010 (plus a Blu Ray to watch with my girlfriend) and some snacks all for a fiver.  I’m not usually a massive fan of football games, but recently we’ve been having some get togethers and FIFA 10 has overtaken Modern Warfare 2 as the game of choice.  The more I’ve played it, the more I’ve enjoyed it, but maybe that’s because I’ve got better at it, and I do quite like winning

After a couple of warm up 2 vs 2 games, we decided to draw the top teams from a hat and then play a tournament, having drawn Argentina I was quietly (actually loudly) confident.

I managed to win my first game 2-0, even though I was distracted by the pizza guy turning up and seeing everyone else eating , luckily I managed to grab a a couple of slices at the end of the game. The next few games went by and I was knocked out of my second game by Randip, who to be fair has spent far more time playing FIFA than anyone else, and who eventually went on to win the tournament playing as Italy.

All in all a great night, I can highly recommend the World Cup Edition of FIFA, they’ve made some great improvements as well as building in live updates and scenarios from the actual World Cup as it happens.

The next day I had a quieter evening just watching a Blu Ray with my girlfriend, awesome deal from T-Mobile!
