Street Power Soccer (REVIEW)

Like NFL BLITZ, and NBA JAM this latest entry in the faux sports genre comes complete with arcade mechanics, and modes of play. It is known as 'Street Power Soccer', and it aims to bring an experience mildly rooted in real life soccer (futbol for my UK & European readers), but taken over almost entirely by more arcade-like features. Narrated, and taught via tutorial by the superimposed video presence of a well known French freestyler you'll be introduced to the world of freestyle soccer. Through inspiring speeches about never giving up, and committing to the craft with dedicated practice you'll find yourself pumped up along with the rhythmic tunes, and the dancing soccer stars. The controls are kept simple, and the modes of play broken down into several mini-game types with only one really competitive mode done up in more traditional 2v2, and 3v3 versus matches. It is a trippy around the world soccer experience performed on globally located courts that are designed for the types of trick shots, and unbelievable stunts you'll be pulling off. All for customization currency, and leaderboard fame.

Zen Pinball 2 - "Super League Football" (PS3/PS4/PS VITA)

Over the years Zen Studios has done good to bring to us gamers a wide selection of quality pinball tables ranging from wholly unique designs to comic book themed experiences, video game oriented adventures, and even tribute tables based on classic movies. Each of these offered tables have carried with them Zen Studios' signature arcade style of design filled with super cool special effects, awesome audio soundtracks based on applied content, and an overall engaging experience that has drawn in the players time after time. In this latest 'Zen Pinball 2' debut you'll find that the team over at Zen studios has decided to tackle sports in a grand fashion not unlike their past releases. While soccer may not be that popular to some people out there there's no denying that it is a widely recognized sport that has taken many countries by storm. Europe, and the surrounding countries in particular have grown fond of it, and have spawned teams who have competed in such prestigious events as that of the Olympics. Let us not forget those in the United States, and other Spanish speaking countries who also take the sport seriously.
