Good morning. It’s the Cricket World Cup at the moment, a tournament which began with England attempting to retain the trophy as holders. In preparing this review, I was planning to write something about how they’re actually quite good these days, and contrast that with the embarrassments of the past. But, no, they’re out already. […]

Cricket games were once released so infrequently that I used to end up buying pretty much each and every one, at some point. If there was one that I thought might be good, I’d get it on release, but even those that I was fairly sure would be disappointing, I’d look out for in sales […]

Hello there. I’ll say it again: I do hope you’re all keeping safe and well at the moment. In search of something calm and gentle, I decided to turn to cricket, and so today’s review is of a mid-to-late 00s entry in Empire’s long-running cricket management series: International Cricket Captain III.

Hi there everyone. Welcome to A Force for Good, where phrases like, “we’ll cover it one day” could mean a wait of several days, weeks, months or years for a planned review to materialise. Anyway, tonight’s game is Cricket 96.

A recent non-existent survey of this site’s 12 readers revealed general disquiet about the amount of coverage of old football games. Well, we heard you loud and clear, imaginary reader – obviously cricket is more your thing. When we were a bit more organised, it used to be possible to plan reviews around real life […]

Hello there. You’ve probably noticed that we’re in the early stages of the 2015 Cricket World Cup. [Cricket has a World Cup? – a reader] Ahem. Well, anyway, in case you’re in the mood for a cricket game, we have one here – Brian Lara International Cricket 2007.

Hi there! Wow, two updates in a week. Well, if our discussion of hack and slash RPGs wasn’t for you, how does this review of a really old cricket game grab you? *chorus of boos* It would have arrived sooner, if the recent Ashes series hadn’t been such an unmitigated tale of woe – but […]

Hello there! Do you like cricket? Sure you do! Don’t you? Oh. Right. Well, for once, I actually managed to get a review to successfully coincide with the thing I was aiming for. Admittedly, the Ashes series does give you quite a big window, but hey, as I write this, it’s still going on and […]

Hello there. Finally, we have our first content of 2011. I’ll bet you were on the edge of your seat. Well, fret no more, we have a new review! And, in honour of the England cricket team finally managing to win in Australia and bring home the Ashes, we have another cricket game for you. […]

Hi there. So, England are in Australia and both sides are gearing up for the Ashes. Excited yet? [sigh] You know, the Ashes…cricket? No? That doesn’t bode so well for our latest update then. We’ve got a review of Graham Gooch World Class Cricket for you. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also put together […]
