You've been deprived of FIFA 07 screenshots for quite a while now, with the last good set of FIFA 07 DS screenshots arriving back in August. Well, as it's release date of September 29 has passed, the chaps at Electronic Arts has decided to up the ante and release twenty-five new screenshots for the licensed football game, which will also come to pretty much every other gaming format including the ancient but classic GBA.

If you're unsure whether or not to buy FIFA 07 for the DS then this set of screenshots will be the thing that either makes or breaks your decision. What will it be? Remember that FIFA 07 introduces the EA Sports Interactive League, which allows players to kick-off against each other online, while running a real-world schedule. Also, with the DS's microphone, players can customize their very own team chants, something that you just can't do on the PSP version.

Take a peek at the screenshots and make your mind up and it appears that EA have spent time on developing the graphics for both screens, not leaving the bottom screen as a last-minute GUI that messes up the whole thing. Good luck scoring that hat-trick!

Of course, we couldn't possibly fit all 25 screenshots here...check them all out after the jump!

Buy: [FIFA 07 for DS]

Holiday season is fast approaching and it won't be long before store shelves get flooded with a deluge of game titles for different consoles. Gamespot has posted a list for October and there are a lot of titles for the PC and GBA. Of course, there are some PSP and DS games on the list.

First is a video game from THQ that was based on the 2006 movie Alex Rider: Stormbreakerr. In this game, player will be immersed in the world of spying as its gameplay needs not only sheer fighting ability but also stealth and strategy. The game hit the shelves October 2. EA's football simulator video game FIFA 07 is just about to hit the stores. If you're not into sports, you can grab a copy of Gangs of London, which features new PSP-specific content.

Other game titles that are expected this month:

October 3

• Stacked with Daniel Negreanu (PSP)
• Mercury Meltdown (PSP)
• Bubble Bobble Revolution (DS)
• Rainbow Islands Revolution (DS)
• Uno 52 (DS)
• Star Trek: Tactical Assault (PSP)

October 4

• ProStroke Golf - World Tour 2007 (PSP)

October 5

• Hannah Montana (DS)

Just as soon as they have finished the last coat of paint on FIFA '07 for its fall release, EA Sports' thinking about what to do with FIFA 2008. And this time, they want to encourage you, the fans, to think some great stuff up for them. Sounds like a good idea, we wonder if they'll do this for every game in the EA stable...

Ahem, er... back to the topic. EA Sports has announced FIFPlay.com, the community website for the FIFA series, as well as the FIFA Manager titles (which are, alas, so far only on the PC). It packs feature interviews and polls; it hosts its own bug-reporting form for game glitches, and an "Ask EA!" form for the curious or inquisitive; and - this is the star of the site (we'd type it out, but a picture's worth a thousand words, right?):

FIFPlay is the brainchild of Schahryar Fekri, EA Sports' Asian consultant and online editor for FIFA football. Back last year, he started an "Ideas for FIFA 07" thread in their official forum. More than one thousand posts flooded the thread as each fan wanted to give his or her piece to the game. If that bit of history holds true today, well he's bound to expect a similar flood on FIFPlay.com.

FIFA 07 is to be released in less than a month from now by Electronic Arts. And we haven't revealed any DS screenshots yet (you can check out the PSP version here, which includes some screens and a video). Anyhoo:

  

   

With the DS, FIFA 07 will introduce the EA Sports Interactive League which will allow players to kick-off against each other online, while running a real-world schedule. Getting to play in these virtual matches will tip the scales, which will reflect on overall team scores.

Also, with the DS's microphone, players can customize their very own team chants! The PSP version doesn't have this feature, though. So, if you really want to get into the game to the point of being your own audience member rooting for your team, then maybe this would help you decide which version, DS or PSP, of the game to get (that's considering you have both DS and PSP consoles).

Dig Dug is expected to be digging and striking its way to the market on the 25th of this month. Fortunately for gamers in Europe, that's not all they'll be getting in the next few months - a release date list is recently being circulated.

After the release on August 25, the next one is slated on September 1 with Star Fox Command, while few more others come after two weeks. See the list below for a complete account of NDS titles. And oh, don't forget to check on the back links for related articles.

Electronic Arts have lifted the velvet on the French packshots for this years latest FIFA title, FIFA 07 for the PSP and DS. The title will be available for other platforms such as the Xbox, PS2, PC, GBA etc. But since you're reading this blog, surely FIFA 07 of the latest generation of portable consoles are what interests you the most. As we stated in our previous post, all of the FIFA 07 packshots feature world-class Ronaldinho along with a region-specific player, which in France's case is Juninho Pernambucano from French Club Olympique Lyonnais.

Those who own either a PSP or a DS have it easy. Those who have neither are unfortunate, but for those who own both; you may be in for a hard decision. Will you buy the DS or the PSP version of this game? FIFA 07 is set to be released this September 29 so get your pre-orders ready!

FIFA 07 is concentrating once again on the club circuit. The game will feature the licenses of dozens of leagues, and will introduce the new EA Sports Interactive Leagues, which allow fans to square off in online leagues based on real-world schedules.

New features have also been added to the PSP and DS versions. We've already reported on the features available in the PSP version of the game, so we'll focus instead on what the DS version offers. DS owners will be able to create their own custom chants using the console's microphone, and more precise off-the-ball running routes can be ordered with the "Touch Run" feature.

The DS version of this latest addition to the franchise will hit UK shelves on September 29. A release date for the US has yet to be announced.
