Tiger Woods is back! You remember him, he's the one that made golf vaguely interesting for five minutes by having sex with every woman on Earth.
Fresh from his stint in rehab for sex addiction, a condition that only seems to affect pro-sportsmen, the golfing god has returned and passed down to us his latest gospel, the imaginatively titled, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011.
EA were one of the few companies to stick with Tiger after he was struck down with a crippling case of horniness, mainly because without him they?d be lumbered with an officially licensed PGA game that didn't have a bankable name gracing it's cover and wouldn't be able to shift any copies.
The problem with Tiger Woods something something 2011 is that it doesn't live up to all the hype generated by Tiger himself in the months leading up to the game?s release. Where?s the ability to have porn stars and call girls come and dance for you? Where?s the level where your wife chases you down the road with a gold club in some sort of GTA style rage? Where?s the crippling sense of failure when you realise that your past has come back to haunt you? In the hands of a company such as Rockstar, this could have been one of the best releases of 2010.
But EA have decided to stick to the golf? that's right, golf, the single most boring aspect of Tiger Woods?s life. The controls and graphics are essentially the same as every previous incarnation of this game, because that's just the way EA works, and overall you're left with this horrible sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach as you slowly realise that you're playing golf? on a games console.
The realisation that you're controlling one of the most controversial characters in recent history and yet all you're doing with him is trying to get a birdie at the 9th hole of St. Andrews is one of those few and far between times in gaming that make you realise that maybe you're better off switching off your console and going outside before you start playing World of Warcraft for 23 hours a day.

Well played sir! Maybe going outside and pouring salt on snails would be infinitely better than playing another dull and lifeless incarnation of Tigger Woods. I don’t think even Rockstar would stoop so low as to generate crap based on this guys life.
