Top Football Clubs Coming to Abu Dhabi For FIFA Club World Cup

Abu Dhabi has hosted many world class events for a number of sports including cricket, grand prix, tennis, golf and now football. Most recent is the FIFA club world cup which is being played at Zayed Sports City and Mohammed Bin Zayed stadiums. Top club teams have arrived in Abu Dhabi for this tournament. Names like Barcelona FC, Atlanta FC, Auckland City FC, Pohang Steelers FC and TP Mazembo are in Abu Dhabi to take part in these matches. While the spectators can expect to watch in action the players like Xavi Hernandez, Rafael Marquez, Kim Gi-Dong, Federico Vilar, Horacio Peralta, Thiery Henry, Leandro Desabato and Keryn Jordan. Last year Manchester United won the World Cup with Liga De Quito ending as runner up. Barcelona, who will be playing their final against Estudiantes, is the strongest contenders this time around.

Sports Events and Tourism:

Main motive behind hosting these world class events is to give a substantial boost to their tourism industry. Abu Dhabi has adapted a multi-faceted but careful approach to establish itself as one of the major cities in the world. Some huge developments like Sadiyaat Island are in progress, major sports events are taking place. Then there's some display of their financial strength, you can gauge the extent of their economy by (out of the blue) bailout of $10 billion for Dubai, which is huge especially in perspective of worldwide financial crunch. All in all, Abu Dhabi seems much more in control when compared to the haphazardness that we can see in other parts of the world.

In addition to its positive impacts on Abu Dhabi reputation, football world cup is an anticipated event in UAE, since football is one of those very few sports which are popular among the emirate citizens (cricket is also popular but most of its fan base consists of expatriates). The event has been pretty successful so far, FIFA officials are impressed with the preparation, especially the FIFA president Joseph S. Blatter, who expressed his satisfaction in these words "The president Mohammed Khalfan Al-Rumaithi was being too humble when he said they will do better next year. It is not possible, because the organizational skill, premises, stadiums, hospitality, media arrangements, transport and everything has been the best. I can only congratulate the government of Abu Dhabi.". Similar admiration and compliments were being made by players and officials of the visiting teams.

What Good PS3 Games Coming Soon Are Worth Buying?

Any gaming enthusiast is always on the lookout for the next big thing in PS3 games. So, amongst all the coming soon PS3 games, which are the good PS3 games worth buying? The following are some top picks.

FIFA World Cup 2010 (PS3)

Hail, all footballers. This is the year of the 2010 football world cup. This is the year which will boast of a sporting event which is almost unanimously considered to be the biggest sporting event every four years. This is not a casual boast. It is entirely based on the viewership that the football world cup consistently garners every four years. EA Sports, since 1998, has been releasing world cup games in every year that the world cup happens. It's become an ongoing tradition now. So, what do we expect from this year's new release from EA Sports? With all coming soon PS3 games, it is natural to expect improved graphics. Although, EA has not revealed a lot, here are some new features.

Whenever a sequel comes out, the creators always sit down to analyze what was lacking from the last edition and then implement the required corrections. With this, there are improvements to certain personnel models such as Fabio Capello and Peter Crouch etc.
A carnival atmosphere consisting of confetti, seat cards, camera flashes, streamers etc. In terms of game play, certain vital improvements are expected such as realistic chesting of the ball, a more intelligent AI, player clash related solutions and basically better overall responsiveness from the game.

Aliens Vs Predator (AVP) PS3

Why this game stands out amongst other coming soon PS3 games is the fact that its single player campaign is split between the three species i.e. human, alien and predator. This basically implies that there are three different story lines for the single player mode. Now most experienced will say, "So what? The models and style of playing would be same like any other game?" Not really. Every single race in this game gives an entire different feeling when playing. For instance, the aliens are more agile and can climb almost any surface, predators have cloaking tech and can acquire gadgets while humans, as is natural, spawn with a variety of weapons and are entirely dependent on them. This quality of the game makes every species balanced i.e. having their own strengths and weakness.

Now, the doubt brigade would say that, like all the coming soon PS3 games with unrealistic ambitions, this game's game mechanics would be difficult not to mention that a player will have to remap controls every time he or she switches races. Again, nope. The game mechanics have been streamlined along with the majority of buttons for all species made uniform. Furthermore, what really sets this one apart from all other PS3 game stock is that this variation of the game also carries over to its multiplayer mode. The modes or maps that are used in the multiplayer also have variety. For example, there are modes that favor a particular species, those that do not and then there are modes that allow mixed race teams. Additionally, there are three more innovative multiplayer modes included in the game, namely the infestation, predator hunt and the survivor mode.
