Play.com Voucher Code (£5 off)
September 1, 2008
The Play.com voucher code I highlighted a few months ago has now expired, but I know quite a lot of people coming the site are still looking for a Play.com voucher, so here’s the latest one that I’ve found.
You can use the following Play.com voucher code to get £5 off when spending £50 or more on an order which is a pretty good deal, especially if you’re looking to spend around £50 – I mean that’s like 10% off, that should make for a cheap deal on whatever you’re buying!

August 22, 2008
It’s been great to see so many people sign up to the challenge of the free fantasy football ‘Zath Premiership‘ so far, even before I’ve announced the prizes on offer – more on this in minute!
I just wanted to let everyone know that there is still time to sign up before the first points scoring week of the Zath Premiership which will actually be Game Week 2 of the overall game. The free fantasy football game itself started last week (Game Week 1), but I held off on starting our league as I wanted to do some further promotion, get a proper logo (hope you like it!), organise some prizes and ensure everyone had got signed up that had shown interest in it so far.

Do all games need to be A-List games?
I’m not sure if this question itself implies that we should settle for mediocrity, I interpret this as meaning, should we need and require multi-million pound budget games that take years to develop?

August 8, 2008
It’s been a while since I posted a new web-based game on the internet, so when I saw this one I thought it was very apt given the new football season is fast approaching.
MATCH magazine has come up with a new football game that coincides with their new season preview edition of their magazine - Match Super League web game. It’s certainly made me aware of them again, I remember buying this magazine on a regular basis as a kid, well having it bought for me of course!
The allows you to create your team including a name and kit colours and then get on with playing the game - this involves taking your chances at volleys, free kicks and penalties. The same goes for your opponents, so you need to try and save in their opposing attacks.

Zath: I recently announced the 7th season of the Zath Premiership - which is my own league that I run in conjunction with a free fantasy football website, based upon the results of the English Premier League. We’re now into the 4th year of the Zath Premiership that has been run through the official Fantasy Premier League website and I’m always pleased with the progress that is made year on year in terms of new features.
For instance, this year in the Zath Premiership there is the standard accumulation of points for players to aim for, but in addition, each week your team will “play” another team from the Zath Premiership, the team with the most points scores 3 points, the losing team score 0 and if it’s a draw, both teams will score 1. This is a great idea I think as it gives a cup like competition that has been present in previous years, but it takes place each week - I for one always got knocked out early on!
Anyway, if you haven’t already got signed up, then make sure you go shopping for players before the action kicks off or you’ll be playing catch-up! Here’s another of my fellow Game People’s thoughts on Fantasy Premiership Online, in this case the Perpetual Gamer: Dom Roberts

It’s almost 3 months since the Zath Premiership 07/08 finished, which means that it’ll soon be time for the 08/09 season of the Zath Premiership to begin!
The Zath Premiership is the fantasy football league that I run here on Zath, based upon the results of the English Premier League. Summer is moving along - I hope you’re all having a good summer by the way (regardless of the weather), but it’s time to start getting back to work! Well I say work, I mean thinking about who you’re going to have in your fantasy football team this season.
There’s now just two weeks to get your team (re)registered to be ready for the opening week and be ready to try and beat the current reigning Zath Premiership champions; ‘The Jinxed XI’ managed by Andrew Potter….or at least be able to gloat when you beat my team; Zath Rovers!

July 8, 2008
Could anyone here make use of a Play-Asia $5 off discount voucher? The reason I ask is that similarly to my recent post about having a voucher for a free episode of Sam & Max, I now have a free Play-Asia voucher for one lucky reader that needs to be used before July 2008!
Play-Asia sent this voucher because I hadn’t logged into my account for a while - but right now I don’t have the time for any new games, so thought somebody else might find it useful.

June 22, 2008
I recently wrote a Football Manager Live preview which outlined some of the features of the game and included a couple of videos showing what the current beta version looks and plays like.
More information is now starting to come out in the recent New Game Features#1: The Skills to pay the Bills news update about this massively multiplayer online (MMO) version of Football Manager, this includes some detailed information about how you start the game and what skills and reputation you have….or more accurately it confirms that you lack those at the start of the game and must work your way up from scratch, just as you would in real life!

I recently tried and failed to buy Grand Theft Auto 4 in local stores around the day of release - yeah I know I should pre-ordered it a long time ago, but what can I say, every other GTA game I’ve played has been on the PC, so I’ve never experienced places having no stocks, plus I’m used to waiting at least 6 months anyway!
