FIFA v PES FOOTBALLThe FIFA 11 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 demos have both gone live within hours of each other,  re-sparking the yearly rivalry between their respective developers, EA and Konami. Both the FIFA 11 & PES 2011 demos are now available on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and as PC downloads.

PC gamers’ can download the PES 2011 demo from the Konami PES 2011 website, with the FIFA 11 demo being available from the EA Sports FIFA 11 website.

EA’s FIFA 11 demo allows you to play as Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, or Olympique Lyonnais in an exhibition match with 3 minute halves at Real Madrid’s home stadium, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

You can also unlock the option to play as Arsenal, and use their Emirates Stadium in the FIFA 11 demo, if you unlock achievements the EA Sports FIFA Superstars Facebook game. You can also create in-game videos and upload them to EA Sports Football World.

Meanwhile, Komani’s PES 2011 demo gives you the opportunity to play in a single offline match as Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Mexican club Chivas Guadalajara or Brazilian side Internacional. The PES 2011 demo also includes a video about the full game.

FIFA 11 is set for release on October 1st, while Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 will follow just one week after on October 8th.

So Train2Game, have you got your hands on either one of – or perhaps both of – the demos? If so what do you think? Are you a FIFA or a PES person? And do you think you could be persuaded to the other side?

Konami to showcase Def Jam Rapstar and new Castlevania at Eurogamer

Konami is the latest publisher to commit to October’s Eurogamer Expo – and they’ll be bringing three games for attendees to play. Def Jam Rapstar, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Saw II: Flesh & Blood and will all be on offer to Expo-goers, giving them the chance to try them out before they’re released in autumn.

Def Jam Rapstar can be simply summed up as an urban music version of Singstar, with some top hip-hop stars lending their tunes to the game.  But it’s more than that, and will also feature community tools that’ll allow players to upload videos of themselves rapping and dancing while playing, so wannabe hip hop stars take note!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow brings the series into the world of 3D action for the first time and big things are expected from it. The main character, Gabriel, is voiced by Scottish actor Robert Carlyle.

Finally, Saw II: Flesh & Blood, is based on the film series, taking place between the second and third movies.  We can no doubt expect it to feature some gruesome puzzles!

Managing Director of Eurogamer, Rupert Loman, is pleased Konami will be attending the expo:

“It’s great to have Konami onboard with such a fantastic line up, particularly one that demonstrates the eclectic mix of games that will be on show and, most importantly, playable.”

Eurogamer takes place from October 1st to 3rd at Earls Court in London. Are any Train2Game students going, and if so, which one these games do you want to play first?
