Pro Evolution Soccer comes to iPhone as iPES - The Fan App
It's like a virtual Panini sticker book
Okay, so we'd rather get a full iPhone adaptation of Pro Evolution Soccer than a freebie fan app, but on closer inspection iPES is actually pretty sweet.
In essence it's a virtual Panini sticker book, and although it's been filed under the Entertainment applications on the App Store, it's still got a lot of value as a game.
By voting for the PES goal of the month, demonstrating your soccer knowledge in the weekly "what happens next?" video and taking the daily footie quiz you earn credits used to buy digital PES 2010 collectors cards.
These cards can then be swapped via wi-fi with other iPE users so you can complete your collection, just like you did in the school playground all those years ago. That said, it only works over local wi-fi network, which is a bit lame, and Bluetooth would allow you to do swapsies while out an about.
Also, you don't get any chuddy with the cards.
But still, iPES - The Fan App is a nice gift to iPhone toting fans of the footie and of Pro Evolution Soccer, and it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume it's the herald of a full iPhone adaptation of the popular football franchise.
