Ever wanted to play in the Fifa games, score the wining touch down at the superbowl, or shoot the wining shot at the last 5 seconds at the NBA? Well, with today's technology, you can do just that! So bring out the sport games of 2009 and share them with your friends and families this holiday season.

Fifa 2010 ( PC, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, Wii )


For the Fifa fans out there, this is one video game that you just can't miss. In Fifa 10, players move more realistically and more fluidly. EA has also added a 360 degree player control, unlike the all the previous Fifa games where players were limited to an eight way axis of movement. A new feature has also been added, which is Virtual Pro player, it allows you to create your player in your own likeness, put him in your favorite team, and play through his soccer career. Your player will gradually improve physically whenever you play him. The Al team is also more intelligent, the goalkeepers have many new animations routines which makes it more realistic. The unfair advantage of the Al team winning the ball was also removed. Fifa 2010 will be a soccer video game hard to top.


NBA Live 10 ( PSP, PS3, Xbox 360 )


For all you hardcore basketball fans out there, this game is for you, because with it's new feature, Dynamic DNA, you can follow the current NBA seasons from the comfort of your living room. Your game is updated daily with the player attributes, injuries, trades and any other news about basketball that reflect on the real-world, it is then integrated into season mode, and you can play through real-life events with your team! In NBA 10, there's a feature called Online Leagues, where you can create your own NBA, which each team is controlled by one of your buddies. You can have up to 30 members in your NBA. If you can't get 30, it's automatically filled by the Al players.


Madden NFL 2010 ( iPhone, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, PC )


Madden NFL 2010 comes with a new feature called Pro-Tak. Pro-Tak is a new annimation technology for EA. It allows things to react differently to different situations, so if you tackle someone from the right, he'll fall accordingly to where some one normal would, which is to the left. Because of that, it has also allowed the Madden producers to use 3-9 gang tackling, where a group of offensive and defensive players to bunch together and push. This feature adds some much-needed muscle to the running game, making it feel as though you're really fighting and scraping to get those few extra yards. Madden NFL 10 also puts away the lack of comradeship with the new online co-op gameplay for Xbox 360, PC and PS3. The graphics is just amazing and it's the football video game that's closest to real life football to date.


Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 ( Wii, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360 )


Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is as close to perfect as any golf video game ever made. The graphics are extraordinary and with the Wii remote, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 has recreated golf to such an extent that you can just practice your golf in the comfort of your living room! Online support has improved greatly, you can take on other golfers over the net, and you can join daily and weekly tournaments in which your score is posted on the leaderboard. Another great online treat is the real-time weather. So if it's raining at Southampton Parish, (Where the PGA Grand Slam of Golf just happened on the 20th and 21st of Oct 09) it's raining in your living room as well. You can even play with the PGA tournaments as they happen in the real world, and compare your scores with Tiger Woods himself.

These are the top few games for this Christmas and I hope this helps you find your Christmas gift for your loved ones.
