History Channel - Great Battles of Rome

Seriously, why did I even bother buying it?

It's an embarassment to the name computer game ... my only consolation is it's in mint condition, I'll probably get a few bob off gamestop for it ...


In detail, what's wrong is the grotesquely awkward interface, the limited graphics, the fact that once your boys are marching off to war you have almost zero control over what they do and the general sense that it would be a whole lot more fun to be doing absolutely anything, ANYTHING, else with your time.


Do we have a rating system here? I award this game bad percent out of 10.

For your ears

I like the music in videogames, some would say I like videogame music too much in that I listen to it on a regular basis when not playing videogames. My dream is to one day DJ using only videogame music

Sweaters for goalposts, young boys larking around in the park, oranges and tea at half time, hollering the names of your favourite superstars of the beautiful game ... basically, a lot of kids grow up with some sort of desire to be a successful footballer. Many of us realise we are to fat, to slow, to graceless or just not motivated enough to play football in any serious capacity and move on with our lives. The football dream, however, lives on. For the man who wishes he could play like a hero, we have PES. For the man who thinks he's got it all sewn up in his head, however, we have Football Manager.

And that time of year is almost upon us ... the time of year when the latest Football Manager makes it's way out into the world and I make my way into bed with it for the next 3 months. There's a raft of new features broadcast for the new game, such as a revamped financial section to help you get more info on yourclubs finances and give you tighter control on the wage and transfer buidgets, expanded media, improved 2d engine for better matches etc etc.

Basically, I'm going to go deep mining this game as soon as it comes out. I'm excited.

Anything you might possibly want to know about the game is here ...

I've just been invited to partake of this blog, and as a statment of intent, here's a nice trailer:



Yes. I will be nerding it up on the rpg and real time strategy fron, so we've got that base covered. Now Dano and Brian can concentrate on humour, shoot-em-ups, fighting games and pretty much everything else out there on the market right now apart from nerdy strategy games...
