Football Manager Live Update
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!

June 2, 2008
When I remember back to playing on my Commodore Amiga in the earlier days of my gaming, one of the most memorable games has to be the arcade-style Golden Axe! For me one of the best things about this game was the fact that it had co-operative gameplay which really was quite rare back then and really made this game rather unique and fun to play with your friends.
Just check out the video below which shows the Amiga version and take in the nostalgia of the hack and slash gameplay - not to mention the classic Golden Axe music!

Not so long ago I wrote about the Lego Indiana Jones preview video which is a game similar in style to the Lego Star Wars games, but this time round it is based around the original three Indiana Jones movies. Well while checking my email today, I found that the Lego Indiana Jones demo has been released for the PC and is available from the ‘Games for Windows‘ website.
Football Manager Live Preview
April 29, 2008
Football Manager Live is coming! Football Manager has always been a great game for any football fan all the way back to it’s original incarnation as Championship Manager. It has always been the game that sets the bar for other manager games to live up to, whether it’s the game engine itself, general game features or innovations such as multiplayer - firstly over a network and now in the era of broadband, we can play against our friends over the Internet.
Lego Indiana Jones Game
April 2, 2008
The Lego Indiana Jones game is looking like it will be another casual, fun game that unites the two great elements of Lego and Indiana Jones together into one game, much like the Lego Star Wars games did.
You could argue that these Lego-inspired video games are just “kids’ games”, but they are still plenty of fun, especially when playing through such memorable moments from some of your favourite movies!

The Legend of Zelda Movie - now there’s a classic game franchise to make a movie out of!
Take a look at the following Legend of Zelda Movie trailer…

February 5, 2008
Jericho is a TV series about the inhabitants of an American small town in Kansas called Jericho!
The basic premise is that nuclear bombs have been detonated by forces unknown in all the major cities. The first season basically covers the fall out (quite literally) from such an event and how day-to-day life in a small American town is affected.
Throw in some conspiracies, the breakdown of law and order, the fighting for resources in what is the end of world, you’ve got a great show that is very compelling series to watch! Take a look at a season 1 trailer:

January 27, 2008
I remember reading speculation about a new Knight Rider project for the past few years, sometimes it was concerning a movie re-make version of the original series, other times it was a new Knight Rider TV show - it turns out that we have in fact a new Knight Rider TV series coming up!
I have fond memories from my childhood of sitting down in front of the TV on a Friday night with my parents and watching the original Michael Knight talking with his state-of-the-art black Pontiac Trans Am KITT car!
The original KITT was the ‘Knight Industries Two Thousand’, whereas the car in the new Knight Rider series is the ‘Knight Industries Three Thousand’ as this show is actually a follow-up to the original series with David Hasselhoff as opposed to the original speculation of it being a re-make. The car itself is a Ford Mustang Shelby in black with the obligatory moving red light at the front; you can see some pictures of the new car here.

October 28, 2007
24 is a highly entertaining TV show about a Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) agent named Jack Bauer who…unsurprisingly tries to stop terrorists, but in real-time, ie. each of it’s past 6 seasons happens over the course of one full day!
As you’re probably aware by now, I’m a big fan of some of the quality American TV dramas that us viewers are being spoilt with in recent years, in fact in my opinion they’re far better quality in than the vast majority of movies being produced!

September 9, 2007
The end of summer if coming (for us Northern Hemisphere folks anyway!) and with that being the case (and ahead of the release of the Office season 4) the question of what did you do on your summer vacation is often asked - well not to me because I’ve not gone away anywhere….yet!
Although, with Autumn approaching that does mean that some of your favourite TV shows return for it’s season 4, one of my current favourites would have to be the American version of ‘The Office’, it took a while for me to get into it - you really have to persevere through the first few episodes, trust me it’s definitely worth it!
