With Sheffield based SUMO Digital still at the helm after taking over from SEGA's AM3 for Virtua Tennis 3, as usual the question remains; what do they have in store for the unsuspecting public?
VT 2009 utilises the same technology that its predecessor Virtua Tennis 3 used and feels very much like the same game, but this time with a little more substance and depth. The easy to pick-up-and-play controls return which allows the game to be accessible to beginners but with enough depth to leave VT fans striving to master some of the more extravagant moves to be able to one-up their opponents.
The substantial updates this year are attributed to the whole layout and depth of the World Tour mode, which now boasts a fully licensed Davis Cup, more in-depth customisation and tonnes of equally minded amateurs to pit yourself against before you enter the big times. Virtua Tennis 09 sees 20+ stadiums and 20+ fully licensed pros from Nadal to Murray, and Sharapova to Ivanovic, for players to get friendly with..."
This feature aims to aid you when watching Wimbledon this year, because with so many matches going on in the next fortnight it's sometimes hard to know which ones to watch.
With this in mind it looks to recommend specific players to watch if you're a fan of a certain gaming series or title. So without further ado, let it serve you up some suggestions…
Call of Duty? Nah, let's take a break and get some of these games on.
Why does nothing from this generation multiplayer wise really feel like it will be truly missed? Over sequelization and feautre creep. The cost of high production values.
The majority of my favorite multiplayer games are on the N64. That console was built with multiplayer as the focus, with 4 ports for controllers.
Here are some old MP games I enjoyed playing alongside mates:
• 007 NIGHTFIRE - a classic! This game had fantastic MP, I would love a HD remake.
• CONFLICT: Global Storm - acting like a fireteam with my friend where one person takes a buddy and the other does that too before departing down a different path was great fun! I personally loved the desert level with the Jeep.
• MOH (PS1) - OOoh yes, this game had funny personas and great gameplay; in my books, another worthy classic.
Still play mario kart and smash bros with some buddies from time to time, the n64 was the best system ever for local mp imo.

One of my local coffee shops has decided to slash the price of their coffee to ten pence at ten o’clock in the morning since this Sunday nicely coincides with their tenth birthday. Unfortunately, gamers don’t really have anything to celebrate today, nor does any form of commemoration seem to be incoming from any developers or publishers. In response to this injustice, we’ve compiled a list of ten gaming “tens”, most of which rely on bad puns and stale jokes. Enjoy!"
