The first reason is because I'm a lazy gamer who doesn't have the motivation to play the real version of said sport. The second reason is to use a robust character creator to really make a virtual me in said sport. Unfortunately, Virtua Tennis 2009 only covers the first of the two reasons. You might even say it's 15-love on options. See that? That's a tennis joke.
There are really only two tennis game franchises to speak of: Virtua Tennis and Top Spin. Given that, I plan on drawing a lot of comparisons between the two in this review. It's not exactly comparing apples to apples, but it's about as close as it's going to get for tennis simulation games."
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!"
