FIFA Soccer 2005

Tagline: "A great player needs a great first touch"
At that time Pro Evolution Soccer was also in the gaming industry to compete with the FIFA. FIFA could have face difficulties if they had not made improvements. But EA sports knew that they had to be step ahead from the developers of PES and they did. 

latest Technology:

The game features the return of the create-a-player mode, as well as an improved Career mode. The biggest difference compared to previous titles in the series is the inclusion of first-touch gameplay which provides gamers with the ability to perform "real-life" tricks and passes.

Hi everyone,
   In this post i will tell you about the game which is one of the most famous and which has a whole series started from 2003. Since 2003, the Call of Duty is considered as the best FPS game. Its versions are released with new names in almost every year. With every year there has always been change wheather you consider graphics or any other dynamics of the game.

Call of duty took the unique approach of allowing players to step into the boots of American, Russian and British soldiers in the war against the Third Reich. Players were never alone, either. The vast majority of the time players fought side-by-side with AI controlled comrades.  Call of Duty was also one of the first games to feature a mechanic that has now become an almost universal element of FPS game design 
Here is a screen shot of call of duty.
