PES 2008 review Xbox 360Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 has hit the 360 at last, and it's looking good. So good in fact that we've awarded it our 360Zine Gold Award.

The only downside is the lack of authentic clubs included in the game - but how much does that really matter in a game this good? Read our massive review of PES 2008 to find out more now!  PES 2008 review for Xbox 360 If you've no idea of the history of pretend football, FIFA is traditionally pitched as the evil corporate behemoth, while the plucky PES is the lovable – and crucially, playable - people's champion.
