While you guys are rockin' the PS4 and the XBOX ONE, I'm rockin' the PS3, the Sega Genesis, Nintendo, and yes...a real authentic Atari 2600!

I love video games, but they have gotten so expensive (and plus I don't have much time to play them) that I usually have to wait until they're dirt old before I can afford them. Madden is the only game I'm willing to spend $60 on - and I don't even buy that game every year! I broke out NHL '08 the other day. I'm not a huge hockey fan, but I remember taking a chance on this game when I first bought my PS3. It was quite fun to play and I actually learned a lot more about hockey playing this game than sitting down and watching hockey on TV. I decided I need to expand my sports games, so I used my Amazon gift cards from Christmas and bought MLB '12 The Show, and NBA '11. Both of those games have super graphics - even being a little long in the tooth, these games still impress me visually! The game play is pretty good with the basketball game. I can win pretty easily with the Lakers, but the other teams - even the classic Bulls teams - I have a hard time winning with. The baseball game is OK. I always start these games on the easily level, but the baseball was a little boring. The graphics are awesome, but the game play kind of sucked. I'm thinking I have to up the level to get a little more enjoyment out of it. I'm not a HUGE baseball fan to begin with, but the video games are usually enjoyable.

I also bought Gran Turismo 5, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. It took hours to down and install - and by the time it was ready to play, it was like 1 o'clock in the morning! So, I haven't had a chance to check that out yet.

So, question for you guys. I was knocking around the idea of picking up one of the FIFA soccer games. I don't want the latest and greatest because I'm not a big fan of soccer, but was wondering if anybody has tried the soccer games and if they like them?
