Oct 24, 2007 Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 isn't actually out until Friday, but a video recording what must be the oddest football accident ever has already hit YouTube, tackling our funny bones in the process.

Which, to us, is a bit of a shame. Have a chuckle for yourself ... » Read More

"We knew we could have done better," Seabass told us, but the hassle of a multiplatform launch and pressured development deadlines hamstrung Konami's ambition.
