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.

Garlando G500 Table Football Table

Advantages: Commercial quality table at an affordable price.
Disadvantages: Assembly instructions and balls could be better.

...I recently bought a Garlando G500 table for use by all the family and have not been disappointed. I know Garlando tables from playing on their coin-operated models at college and was worried that the freeplay models would not give the same playability. However, the G500 uses the same telescopic rods as the tables I was used to and has the same size playing are so the feel is very similar. It is also heavy enough not to move around during play by 4 big lads and the contruction is completely rigid and very solid. Very few negatives other than a couple of the balls were a bit egg shaped although it came with 10 so 8 were fine ! The table was well delivered and was easy to set up although it did take some time to get the rods in the right order as the instructions were not very clear. You can see the G500 for sale onlline at www.garlando.co.uk....

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...

Our Table Table at Carlisle Bordergate

Advantages: Unique design works well, quality pub food, reasonable prices.
Disadvantages: Close proximity to motorway makes outdoor eating a no no for me, tiny loo's.

...A couple of weeks ago, my parents and I, along with my children, decided we would go out for a bar meal. We've all been quite busy recently and it's been quite a while since we got together like this. We decided to go to a place we knew pretty well, which was reliable and child friendly. Knowing it as it's former name, 'The Carrow House', and more recently 'The Border Gate' and part of the Brewers Fayre chain we headed off. Arriving, we where surprised to see it had been taken over again, and completely refurbished, now under the name '"Table Table'" About Table Table This isn't a chain I personally have ever come across before, indeed didn't realise it was actually part of the same company as Brewers Fayre. Part of The Whitbread Chain, Table Table has a more up-market feel than it's sister chain Brewers Fayre. Table...

Small Players Big Game

Advantages: Great game for rainy afternoons
Disadvantages: Don'y stand on the players

...as a game for two players, four could play plus two goalkeepers and a referee. Thus each side could have a team of three humans where one would take the left side of the table, the other the right and one would be the goalkeeper. The one drawback of the game was the constant arguments about when is a flick not a flick but a push and this did detract from the enjoyment of playing Subbuteo Football. In later years you could buy model manager’s dugouts, terraces, stands with model figures to occupy them and even working floodlights. In fact it was possible to set up a replica of a real football stadium. There would be local, county and national championships and even internationals. I even took a Subbuteo set to sea with me and in harbour or when the ship rolled around only a little we would stage leagues between the various...

I'd recommend a table at Table Table!

Advantages: Food presentation, good seating and decor, portion size, quality of food, vegetarian dishes
Disadvantages: Temperature of the restaurant, long waiting time, extras that weren't stated

...Yesterday was my dad's birthday, and for the evening we decided it would be a good idea to go out as a family to Table Table for our dinner. So after getting ready and changing into my Ark Clothing dress that I'd bought a couple of months ago, but hadn't got round to wearing, we made our way to the restaurant - at around 6:15. The Exterior When we got there it was around 6:30, and the six of us - My dad, my mom, my sister, my grandma, my grandad and me - made our way inside the restaurant to take our seats and wait for my auntie and uncle to arrive. The outside of the restaurant was very typical, but very nice looking. There were two, maybe three, benches outside for people to sit on in the nice weather if they decided to, and I pointed out to my mom that it looked like a restaurant you'd see abroad. I'm not actually sure why...

Football mad

Advantages: A great game for all.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

...I must write about the latest purchase a table football! I had never seen the attraction of playing this game until we have a go in our local pub. I was instantly hooked on it and thought what a great idea this would be for the youth club. I have purchased it on behalf of a local youth group. It was rather an expensive buy at £299.00 from www.excercisezone.com, but it was one of the cheapest after doing a search on one of those price comparison sites. It is made of pine wood making it very durable and strong. It's basically a table with a deep top where there are long steel tubes going across it width ways with the men attached to the tubes. There is a glass plate on top of the table making the men inside locked in. The tubes are what you play with and there are four on each side with a handle on each of the tubes for you to...

Dark Horse Football Game

Advantages: Nice Features, Good atmosphere about the game
Disadvantages: Better gameplay in other games

...This is Football entered the highly competitive world of Playstation football (soccer) simulators at a time where FIFA was the undisputed king of the genre, meanwhile Pro Evolution was on it?s way to becoming it?s equal in the market. But while the two behemoths slugged it-out for the number one spot there where always new types of football games which came along and tried to either establish themselves alongside or build a game which could potentially overthrow the big ones, or just make entirely different atmosphere or gimmick football games all together. The majority of them failed in their quests and fell by the wayside; on a first-hand look the ?This is Football? brand seemed to be just another one of those ill-fated games, but if proved to survive with a thunderous roar rather than the quaint whimper of similar-themed games past...

Review of This Is Football 2005 (PS2)

Best football game on the 360!

Advantages: Great gameplay and very enjoyable - with an unbeleivable price tag (£4)
Disadvantages: None at this price!

...There is always this constant battle between fifa and Pro Evo, and i only bought this game as it came as a bundle with my 360. However, it was certainly this game that turned me into a pro evo lover and away from the safety of Fifa. Of course Fifa has all the licences of teams, players and stadiums and therefore has any team you can want from Manchester United to Luton. Yet, in my opinion it is not up to the level of gameplay and enjoyment you can get from Pro Evo soccer 6. Th intelligence of the game is very high with players not in possession of the ball still having a big influence on the game by running into space and pointing to where they want the ball. Attackers can also perform more tricks and outwit defenders, but are faced with increased intelligence from these defenders who will hold back more and try not to fall...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (Xbox 360)

Best footy game EVER!

Advantages: Everything!!!
Disadvantages: Lack of licensing

...Lets start with a bold statement ... THIS IS THE BEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER! The Pros--- The game is very realistic, players think like real players, the controls are smooth, and you will never score the same goal twice! Infact it has an AI system which detects your style of play over time and defends to stop it; meaning you have to play differently to win! If you have a webcam for your 360 there is a new feature which lets you take a picture of your face and stick it on a player... this is awesome and great fun for creating a team of all your mates- its great watching your name score a goal and then you zoom in and its actually YOU! Pro Evo has always been known for its unique master league and to be honest the format here hasnt changed at all- which is a little bit annoying but it has developed enough to keep it very enjoyable...
