Tiger Woods 2010

I recently got Tiger Woods 2010 for my PS2 (spare me your tired PS3/XBox rhetoric). It's the best golf I will ever play.

With TW10, I don't need Tiger to shoot 3 over par to beat him in the PGA Championship (you broke my heart, Tiger); my skills are so developed, I can whoop him on his best day. Even still, if he happens to start getting the better of me....BAM.....two...words:

THE POWER OF VIDEO GAMES!

-----------------------


Seriously, the game mostly rocks. I say mostly because my 6 and 8 year old daughters can beat me at it, despite the hours I've invested while they waste time playing in the yard and such. Also, there's no Q school or Nationwide Tour, etc, and worst of all, there are no World Golf Rankings. HELLO!?

Strangely, there are also no visible fans or gallery, and no groups/pairings. The Sunday pairings are the best, and what fun is missing the fairway if the ball's not going to bean some unsuspecting fan. EA Sports fell far short on this occasion; there's a lot that just isn't in the game.
