Photoshop Disasters posted an article about the cover of FIFA ‘08 by Electronic Arts - you know, the soccer title. What is with that guys arm? Is it made of ribbon?

(Obviously we know it’s a graphic, but come on. Did no one catch this?)

It’s supposed to be a pretty awesome game though, regardless of what the EA Art Department is outputting! Check out the FIFA ‘08 Official Site for some sweet images and info. If you don’t have this game yet, Amazon has it in stock.

We have a large variety of sports games to choose from on the Wii console - sports mini games seem to be dominating the “party games” category of Wii releases, with titles like Deca Sports, Summer Sports Paradise, and Big Beach Sports already out.  Let’s not forget Wii Sports, the all-famous, all-included game that ships with Wii.

Ubisoft has a game coming out - Sports Party, as does Konami, with Indoor Sports being released around Christmas of 2008.  Conspiracy Games has Summer Athletics:  The Ultimate Challenge coming out as well, late in July.

What do YOU want to see for Wii?  Let’s keep it to sports titles, and post in the comments.  We personally would love to see another snowboarding title, maybe some Olympic-themed games.  What do you want to play?

In Wii Sports, the more you play and the better you become at achieving higher scores, the more you are rewarded for your progress. Score more than 1000 points in an event - you reach “Pro Status,” and it comes in the form of a label on your Mii when you are playing the game in which you achieved Pro status.

At the end of each round of golf, for example, that you play on your own (two player games don’t count towards your Pro status), you are given points based on your performance. If you had a particularly bad round, you might have points taken away. Achieving Pro status on the Wii comes with a bit of a challenge as well - if you happen to have a couple of rounds in which you had poor performance and you lose several points, you can lose your pro status as well. You can always regain it by doing well and raising your point value. What the Wii giveth, the Wii can taketh away!

There are also some cosmetic embellishments that come with Pro status - the one glaring example that we’ve noticed is with bowling. Once you achieve Pro status in bowling, you are given a star-studded bowling ball to hurl down the lane.

Good luck!
