CVG gets a shiny new relaunch! (PlayStation 3)

More big news for the GamesRadar family today folks. After a long, long tour of duty providing us with all of the on-the-minute gaming news you could possibly require,CVGhas officially joined the Radar network, bringing a classy new look and a streamlined design with it.

The oldest name in the gaming press, CVG (Or Computer and Video Games if you want to be puristic about it) has been fighting the good fight for top quality games coverage since 1981 – longer than a couple of Radar editors have even been alive – and we couldn’t be more proud to be part of its on-going evolution. You’ll still be getting the same great CVG content as ever, of course, but now it’s all wrapped up in an easier-to-read, faster-to-navigate site which puts the reader right at the centre of everything. The new site is understandably still in beta, but as it developes, the guys want as much community input as they can get in order to tweak, prune, add and shape things to be exactly as you want them.

First FIFA 09 review score revealed (FIFA 09)

This month’s issue of the UK’s Official PlayStation Magazine has the exclusive review of FIFA 09, and the word on the terraces is that it’s by far the best FIFA yet. The game gets a high-flying 9 out of 10 from OPM and much praised is heaped upon Be A Pro mode in particular.

“In terms of presentation, FIFA’s always been streets ahead of archrival PES, and that’s still the case here,” OPM notes in its review. “Combine that with the emergence of the now-essential Be A Pro and the balance of power has definitely shifted.”
