So... I splurge a tad and get Fifa 2009 for xbox and play a few games before I-Man becomes aware that I have it. Instantly, he wants to play me.... Having mastered the basics and figuring out that you actually have to pass to do anything, I expected to make easy work of I-Man. Well, the first match I won handily 5-2 with a tad bit of annoyace that he actually scored on me in about 5 minutes... the second match today found me scrtching out an 1-nil last second scorig match against someone who seems to have mastered the game without me telling him anything more than "press A to shoot, B to pass...." my only saving grace is the fact that he blew two penalty kicks because he hasnt figured out that holding down the shoot button kicks the ball too hard... I'm not telling him... sorry... This is the real world, son, and I have to use every advantage I can get.

With you Rome! :-) Pam has a 12 year old cousin who brings his x-box every time he visits. I bought him "Wakeboarding Unleashed" a few years back and we played pretty even until he took it home... next time he visits, he's whipping the crap out of me as he's memorized, oh, about a thousand control combination moves.

Only have been able to beat him consistently on one game... a personal favorite... Fight Night Round 2. And I consistently beat him only because of a better understanding of boxing. He thinks it's a pure battle of raw power so he's always picking the biggest dudes, bulking them up, and coming at me with 100% power punches. I've mastered ducks, which he never does since he's whamming away with power punches, and I'll constantly move in and then back out staying almost scratch less. He usually wears himself out punching within a round and I pummel him unmercifully once he's tired. Guessing my days numbered with this game too if he'll ever pauses to think why I keep winning but sure enjoying it while I can! ;-)

no... we have reached the point where the "let's let the little tyke win and be a good sport" has ended. That ended when he started trash talking me during Burnout Revenge when he was smoking me. A funny side note to that fact will be posted above
