August 5, 2009
It’s that time of year again! The new football season is fast approaching and obviously that means that whether you’re a big football fan or whether you just like to go “shopping” for a few Premiership superstars and pit your wits against other readers here on Zath – yes it’s time to register your free fantasy football league team entry for the Zath Premiership 2009/10 and try to beat the reigning champions; Claire Goulding’s “Toques Tykes”.
As you can see from looking at the end of season results for the Zath Premiership 2008/09, we had quite a lot of entries (the most yet in fact), it made for an exciting season right down to the wire and it was also the first season in which we were able to offer some cash prizes to the winners, but we’re going to be better them this year, keep on reading!

February 6, 2009
You can now play the FEAR 2 demo ahead of full game being released over here in good ol’ blighty on Friday 13th February…..
……felt like that needed a long pause.
Anyway, back to sanity. Yes folks, FEAR 2 is hitting our shelves 13th February, but gamers across the pond in the US will get it 3 days before us.
Fear 2 is obviously the sequel to 2005’s FEAR. The events of the FEAR 2 take place shortly after the end of the first. You’ll be thrown into a sinister and paranormal world as a special forces member. Whilst on a routine mission the city of Auburn, where you just so happen to be, sees itself in the middle of a supernatural explosion. You find out that a girl named ‘Alma’ has unleashed hell upon the city and it’s up to you to unravel to mysterious……mysteries in Auburn and put an end to Alma’s evil.

September 30, 2008
Oh yes there is a Viking Quest Game which has recently been released! Your chance to be “an ice age badass” if ever there was one!
I’m a big fan of the brilliant Entourage TV show, if you are too then you’ll no doubt need no introduction to the little-known that got cancelled called Viking Quest which starred Johnny ‘Drama’ Chase himself – however, if you don’t know Entourage, then I doubt you’ll have heard of Viking Quest – lets just say that it didn’t do that well when it was first made (up).

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.

August 7, 2008
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 fellow fantasy football fan’s thoughts on fantasy football game competitions, in this case the Perpetual Gamer: Dom Roberts – here’s just a snippet of what he has to say in his full article…

August 3, 2008
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!
