FIFA is one of the biggest game franchises on the planet, paling only to the likes of Call of Duty when it comes to raw sales. It’s only natural then that there’d be a great deal of anticipation and excitement surrounding its latest iterative release. There are questions, of course, of how good the game is this year. Some years, the game stumbles, others it soars; which will it do this time?
Well, why not try it out for yourself. The game’s set for release on September 22 – but you can play it right now, on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. There’s a demo of the game and it’s available on both platforms.

Off topic, but I hope Admiral Chief Returns is better than Superman Returns.

I wonder: Will Bafana Bafana be able to play against an all woman team? And what would the score be? 25-1 to the Girl’s Team?
