Cake, my friend. Usually always a pizza, but this year I opted for an ice cream cake. Also, no beer with cake. Beer with pizza is great, but a few years ago I learned the hard way that mixing alcohol with a lot of sweets isn't a good thing for the stomach or my esophagus. I have yet to play COD4, but I don't have a lot of extra cash to spend in order to give it a shot. You should get NHL 09, the game is absolutely fantastic. The best hockey game ever, hands down. My PS3 games list: Assassin's Creed FIFA 08 Grand Theft Auto IV Motor Storm NHL 08 NHL 09 Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Virtua Tennis 3 Buying soon: Football Manager 2009 (PC) Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)
Aside from new ball physics and player movement, I see nothing special about the game. The features are the same as the previous title and hardly any of the clubs have their new or correct kits or badges outside of the twenty in the FA Premier League. To add to that, the edit and creation options are still comparable to what you'd find in sports games from two generations ago. Manager mode is still easy and exactly the same as the previous three games (text and situations in all) making it abysmal. With PES 2009, no game out there has better editing and creation options. If I want to add or remove a club from my game I can easily do so to keep everything updated. I can replace old kits with new ones. If there is a new player on a club that isn't present in the game I can simply create him and import his face. With realistic physics, presentation (Setanta Sports is on board) and all the rest that I'm just too lazy to list with several paragraphs make Pro Evo the better game for me.
Good list, i'm getting GTA 4 from a friend tomorrow so maybe we can meet up online I'm leaning towards NHL 09 right now
