FIFA Football for PS Vita Features
Recently the first screenshots for FIFA Football on the upcoming PlayStation Vita handheld were released - and along with that some discussion on the viability of handhelds in this age of mobile phone gaming.

A few weeks back on Google Plus I wrote about how thieves have been targeting Xbox accounts in order to profit from selling FIFA Ultimate Team card packs (along with spending the MS points on the account or charging the card attached for more).

FIFA 12 Shines with Online Seasons
The mode in FIFA 12 that has captured the most of my play-time has been online 'Head-to-Head Seasons'. Reminiscent of 2010 FIFA World Cup in that it offers a ladder of sorts in "divisions" it adds in a fantastic new way of matchmaking which creates the most fair of pairings possible.

For anything online relate...
