Looks like Pete just lost his XBOX time again :laugh:.

What is this PES 2008 football game? Seems like I read somewhere about a team that was working on a football game that would feature uncannily real tackle animations and such. Is this the one?

EDIT: Nevermind, Pro Evolution Soccer, not football as we American's know it. Since I mentioned it, though, does anyone know what I'm talking about, and where info on that may be?

KUF looks interesting, and watching all the videos available for Halo 3 has started getting me excited about Halo 3. I may actually have to go out and buy it on tuesday.

Backbreaker

The video is pretty cool. However, even though the tackles are much better than Madden's, I find the way the bodies seem to instantly ragdoll from a hit less than optimal.

I remember in the original thread on Kotaku that a lot of people were predicting that Backbreaker would never see the light of day, but rather the timing of this demo video surfacing was an attempt by NaturalMotion to get a sweet licensing deal with EA for use in Madden. I believe that makes a lot of sense, but it's all speculation.
