GamingAPP OF THE DAY: PES 2011 - Pro Evolution Soccer (iPhone)
We at Pocket-lint are a fair bunch. And so, when it comes to deciding which apps to feature in App of The Day, we like to make sure that we're giving everyone a shot. And, seeing as how we gave EA Sport's FIFA 11 iPhone version the once over, we thought...

Gaming 4 out of 5Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 review
Pro Evolution Soccer has enjoyed an illustrious history. If you had to compare the series to a real-life football team then it would undoubtedly be Liverpool. Like Liverpool, the Konami title was the early benchmark setter in terms of the console football...

Gaming 4 out of 5Castlevania: Lords of Shadow review
Fans of Konami’s legendary vampire slaying series have waited years for Castlevania to make a successful transition to 3D. Sure, it’s been kept alive as a 2D property on the Nintendo DS or on Xbox Live Arcade, but where its closest contemporary -...

Gaming 2.5 out of 5Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 - PS3 review

Gaming 4 out of 5Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 - Nintendo Wii review
The Pro Evolution Soccer series on the Wii bares little relation to its fellow console-based siblings. While they are crammed with arcade style footballing action, the Wii iteration is a whole different breed of sporting animal. As fans of last series...

Gaming 2 out of 5Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 - Xbox 360 review
As a former Pro Evolution Soccer obsessive, this is a little tough to say: Pro Evo 2009 can’t even scrape being called staunchly average. Though the official Champions League license has been nabbed, we’ve lost the majority of the Spanish sides. For...

Gaming 5 out of 5Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - PS3 review
After the big hoo-hah surrounding early MGS4 reviews, with Konami stopping reviewers chatting about the game in its full, a few slightly poorer scores have dampened the excitement levels a touch. The critics have still been full of praise, but there have...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 - Xbox 360 review
We don’t know what’s better. Is it the arrival of a brand spanking new version of Pro Evo each year or flattening your bitterest rivals in a tooth and nail local derby? The arrival of this year’s Pro Evo has been even more closely scrutinised. Many...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Pro Evolution Soccer 6 - Xbox 360 review
Much like the Sports Interactive developed Football Manager series of footie management titles, Konami’s Pro Evo games have consistently offered up the most "realistic" game of footie. No matter what those FIFA fans say, the feel of the Pro Evo out...
