'Pro Evolution 2008' signs Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo has signed up to be the official European face of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.

Famed for his good looks, Ronaldo's face will appear on both the game's packaging and marketing material across the UK.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is the most exciting talent in modern football," Konami spokesman Jon Murphy stated.

"It is fitting that a player with his incredible skill and poise is to join forces with a game that can thrill and challenge as much as the real thing. His obvious enthusiasm for PES 2008 will be channeled into the game, and we look forward to working with Cristiano in the coming months."

Ronaldo added: "For me there is no other game that can capture the grace and skill of football like PES 2008. Every element of the game is lavished with incredible detail, and with its close control and fast pace it is the most complete simulation of real football out there."

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 will be released this autumn for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, PS2, PSP and DS.
