IncGamers' Peter Parrish checks out Football Manager 2010 on the PC.
From the review: "Confession time: I've been somewhat estranged from the Sports Interactive series of management titles. We've been apart for so long in fact, that the last one I played for any prolonged period was almost certainly Championship Manager 01/02 - released long before the split with Eidos and the loss of the 'Championship Manager' name. Even the most half-hearted follower of management sims knows what happened after that. The re-christened Football Manager stayed top of the pile, while the Championship Manager brand drifted into a few difficult years in the wilderness. Oh yes, and FIFA Manager occasionally popped up on the sidelines looking pretty."
Microsoft has launched an official promotion on its Games on Demand service, offering some of the best titles of last year at greatly reduced prices. Gamers can purchase titles such as BioShock 2, Lost Planet 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition for half their previous retail price.
Eurogamer: "It's a shame when relationships end but it's often for the best. Football Manager and me had it all – long intimate evenings, weekends away, the occasional holiday. I'd thought we never split up. But eventually cracks began to appear, the physical side deteriorated, and we became strangers.
As an early adopter of pretending to manage a football team on a computer (i.e. a semi-autistic weirdo), a chronic addiction to Football Manager seemed my inevitable destiny. My first taste was the original Football Manager on the ZX Spectrum, whose bearded creator, Kevin Toms, appeared beaming on the cassette case cover."
Trillicks writes "We all have a favourite game. Whether it be the first game we played, the first we completed or simply because it is utterly awesome......."
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. The first one, for GameCube, and probably the only one that was great between the series. Probably the only FF I'll love with my heart, too.
It was...awesome.
terrible article, lol,
anyway if where talking about old school games that you still crave to play all these years later my list is:
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Final Fantasy vii
Doom 2
Duke nukem 3d
DATA OVERLOAD
I've heard good things about this game
Not a comment on the news, but it's funny to see the N4G game associations and the suggested game purchase ad they have..
If I liked football manager (which I don't), I think I'd be unlikely to want to buy the "Backyard Football" offered :)
