GTA V: 9 Other Games We Called In Sick To Play On Release Date

1. FIFA 13

fifa13playerPersonal Rating 9.5/10 I think the centuries old adage that a dog is a man's best friend should have been put to bed as soon as the FIFA games took off, and certainly by the time FIFA 13 was released. For football fans, gamers or not, each new copy of FIFA means only one thing: competition; tThere are not many things more satisfying than hammering your mate on FIFA and receiving the bragging rights that come with a victory. Whether players are just after a game to play with friends or they like to play the Ultimate Team mode or aim to collect all the achievements, FIFA has something for every man out there. FIFA 13 marked a change from the older games as the controls were revolutionised and further game modes were introduced. EA Sports have sold over six and a half million copies of FIFA 13, as the franchise continues to attract global attention. As football is the most watched sport on Earth, it goes hand in hand that the world's biggest football game should be equally as popular. FIFA 14 is set to be just as popular as its predecessors, and although it is not proclaimed to be as addictive as some of the games on this list, it will surely have thousands of people calling in sick so that they can build their Ultimate Team or grow their online reputation! Which games have made you call in sick before? Let us know in the comments below.
