The Best Chess Programme Ever Made

Advantages: An incredibly powerful programme, your standard doesnt matter.
Disadvantages: None chess fans wont appreciate it as much

...firstly interested in trying out Fritz Chess when I read about how Fritz 8 had drew 4 - 4 with International master Vladimir Kramnik. Being an avid chess fan myself (I was once involved in the international setup in my youth) I decided that this programme was the one for me. I had previousley owned a couple of games from the Chessmaster series, but decided a change was in order. When I installed the game (which was done very quickly) I was instantly ...
...to offer? Well simply set Fritz to its hardest level and bingo your playing in effect a Grandmaster. There are plenty of nice features also in the game - with numerous sophisticated coaching functions, adjusting its playing strength to exactly match that of any opponent. It graphically displays threats and plans, and provides full opening statistics, which is superb for a novice player. The game also has a database of games between the best there ...

Amazing, but not the best

Advantages: graphics, realism
Disadvantages: hitches/bugs

...a vast variety of the airbus fleet including : a319 a320 a330 a340 a350 a380 with variations of those models. a really good part of this is the fact you get airline textures with them as well which saves you the hastle of doing it yourself. From virgin atlantic to british airways to Klm etc...... one of my favourite features is the new cabin view with each plane. you get to chose either business class or standard and each plane has its own ...
...as whenever i use an airbus on autopilot it never follows what you tell it to do, it seems to have a mind of its own which is really annoying and destrupts your flight Many other commands such as the auto throttle have also failed and when I use a plane on full throtle on the runway the aircraft shakes on the ground which doesn't allow for a smooth take off. I'm not 100% sure about how these problems have been caused but I would be wary when buying ...

Football Manager 2010 sees the most popular and successful football franchise of recent years return for its most recent offering but following on from a lot of poor feedback for last years version will the team have listened? Football Manager has long been a game that is hugely popular thanks to the amount of depth and detail in the game with the player database simply blowing other games out of the water for the amount of players available and ...
...year picked up the main football managing games with Fifa 10 impressing me greatly, Championship Manager 2010 being simply stunning and an amazing step up on previous versions but following a few years that disappointed me Football Manager has finally put together the game I have been awaiting with everything feeling like it was done to perfection. Positives: - Excellent user interface - Great player depth and volume - Brilliant transfer market ...

...allow you to visit and test drive each before you purchase. The car designs are very well modelled inside and out. Whilst driving about your able to wind down your windows and listen to different music stations as well as adding your own music to the game. In the multiplayer option you have the ability to chat to other players and add them to your buddy list. The scenery is nice whilst driving and when driving fast you get a blur effect which you ...

Managing your way to the top

Advantages: The way the game is trying to involve the player more
Disadvantages: The editor is a huge cheating tool and the 3D pitch can make the game last longer

This review is for Football Manager 2010. Setup I have honestly got to say this game seems to take forever to load up on to the computer and it must be down to the size of the game. You have got here a game which is over 1 GB and it takes an awful lot to load on to the computer so you’re going to spend about 25-30 minutes loading this game up. Now you have the option of loading the entire game up from the disc on to your computer or using ...
...with a warning from the football authorities so you have to be careful. You have to also talk to the press which can be so tough for you to do because they ask similar questions all the time and you have to keep them sweet otherwise they eat you alive at times. You have football rumours all the time not only about the players but about yourself as well so you need to click a response which will not upset people. If you tell the media you are not ...
