Liquid football!

Advantages: Depth and challenge remain, but so much simpler for the time conscious!
Disadvantages: Well, some people just don't like football - fools!

...FOOTBALL MANAGER 2009 (PSP) A long time ago (1992 to be precise) in a bedroom far, far away, sat a geeky football loving goof who, when not outdoors kicking a football about (surprisingly for a geek he was also frigging awesome at football), they were sat on their Amiga 600 being wowed by either the greatest football game ever made - Sensible Soccer - or the beginnings of an otherwise humble football management simulator. Little more than a text database with no discernable graphics or sound, Championship Manager did feature an addictiveness only previously matched by the e-numbers found in a packet of Skittles. Quite simply, there was little better than looking at a bunch of numbers to determine the best starting eleven, the tactics required to utilise the eleven purposefully and identifying future transfer targets to build...

Review of Football Manager Handheld 2009 (PSP)

The football management game

Advantages: 3D match engine, all players in the world are available, better than LMA manager
Disadvantages: Sometimes strange results like team in 1st place being beaten by team in 24th

...Football manager 2009 has continued the football manager series with the same features and layout of the game as the past versions, but this time features a new 3D match view. The game has many good features that would make me more willing to buy this game over the biggest competitor, LMA Manager 2009. Firstly, the game can be installed very quickly, and you can choose the countries and the leagues who wish to play in, or buy players from. For example, if you only wanted to play in the English leagues, you can do so by only entering the English leagues to play in, however if you then in future wanted to play in another countries' league(s) you would have to hope that that country or club makes you an offer to manage them. If not you will be stuck with only being able to take over teams in the country that you have selected. Many fans...

Great football boots

Advantages: good support, increase power and accuratecy
Disadvantages: not very attractive look

...This is my favourite soccer boots. I've been wearing the Adidas predators ever since I started playing soccer. This boot has amazing support with specially designed studs and shape. The leather used to make the boots is soft, which ensures quality touches with the ball. The rubber grip on the surface provides enough friction that makes your shots become more amazingly accurate. This is really suitable for the name Predator. With this boots, you can score amazing goals from every where, outside the penalty box with a powerful shot or just an accurate drive to the far poast to beat the keeper. I personally love it when doing my freekick. The rubber grips gives me a great advantage to curve the ball more easily and with more accuratecy. Although is does not look as flashy as other F.50 or nike boots, but who care? If you are a good...

Table Football. A good game

Advantages: Good game. Fun. Good Graphics.
Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to

...Ok so i wasnt too sure about tis game at first. Im not the best at table football on an actual table, so playing it in simulation did'nt seem the best idea, but something was telling me to give it a go. I was not too sure wether it would work well on screen and how the controls would work. But i have to say im pleasantly surprized that this is actually a good game.

Football Manager 2009 - Greatest football game of all time!

Advantages: Very addictive game and expand your knowledge of football.
Disadvantages: May take over your life.

...Football Manager 2009 is a life like football managerial game. This year?s game is the best yet and the all new 3D pitch gives the game the edge over its competitors. After playing many football games including, Champion Manager 2009, PES 2009 and FIFA 2009, I firmly believe that football manager is the best by a long way. Football manager 2009 is a new era of managerial gaming and is as close as many of us will get to manage a football club. From training, scouting, press conferences, player talks, match day talks, contract negotiations etc football manager 2009 offers it all. Another realistic aspect of the game is the transfer prices and contract wages, also the fact that your club can get taken over is a bonus as well as you can get approached by national teams or other club teams that are interested in your services...

Tescos Football Chocolates....score?

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Tesco Chocolate Footballs are little chocolate balls with a foil football wrapping around them. They are part of the Tescos brand sweets and therefore a part of the three packets of sweets for one pound offer on in store. The chocolate contained in the sweets isnt that great, it tastes cheap and lacks texture, I suppose though you get what you pay for, you cant really expect them to be of galaxy standard for the small price you pay for them. Their taste however isnt bad, its just that cheap chocolate taste, that some people like and some people dont. Children seem to however prefere these sweets, as the novelty of the football wrapping seems to out weigh a great tasting galaxy bar or some other brand that is equally as nice. These sweets come in a blue packet with an alien in football gear on the packet, this alien is common...

Football lands on the WII

Advantages: An innovitive control system that adds to the experience
Disadvantages: poor tackling, disappointing team names and slightly poorer graphics in matches

...Ever since I bought my first console I found myself drawn to all variety of football games. In particular I found the Fifa and Pro Evo series to be my favourites. When I recently got rid of my Xbox and replaced it with a Nintendo WII I wasn't entirely sure how I would still be able to satisfy my desire to play Football games on a console. That was until I was given a copy of Pro Evo 2008 by my fiancée for my birthday and the chance to find out if my enjoyment of football games was totally gone had presented itself. It was always going to be a tricky console to convert football games onto and it seems that both Konami and EA have risen to the challenge. The first thing to note about the WII version of Pro Evo soccer isn't the graphics or the lack of official licences but it is in fact the control system. Konami have introduced...
