Hi there. Believe it or not, this review was all set to go live at a suitably relevant point last week, but, as regular readers may have noticed, we had a few technical hiccups to sort out. Anyway, the big international footy thing was in the winter this year, for all kinds of dubious reasons. […]

Hello there. We’re going back to the 90s for some football action today, with a review of FIFA 2000.

After the top down heyday of the 16-bit football games, fans waited to see what developments the glorious CD revolution would bring. Glimpses came from two different versions of FIFA International Soccer: the fab-whizzo all-new 3DO game, and the DOS port of the original, the CD version of which featured audio commentary from the late […]

I like football games, possibly more than I actually like football. A couple of matches in the evening after work during the week is one of life’s simple pleasures. But recently I’ve found it difficult to find a footy game I can get on with. Not since PES 2008 (which. depending on your point of […]

I’ve written before about how I came to associate FIFA with Christmas, and following a recent clearout my parents reunited me with my old copy of FIFA 2000, which I think was maybe the last version I received as a present (the following year, I’d discover Pro Evolution Soccer).

Season’s greetings to all our visitors and readers. A 2012 round-up is coming soon, along with some more content, as soon […]

Hi there! This was going to be another football review, to tie in with the end of Euro 2012, but…well, that’s long gone now, isn’t it. Can we pass it off as an Olympics tie-in, instead? No? Well, we’re going to try: [Clears throat] To tie-in with the London Olympics, we’ve reviewed a football game! […]

Hi there! With all the excitement of Euro 2012, and on the eve of England beating/losing to Italy, we thought it might be time to add another football review to our archives. So, finally, we have a game from the most famous football series of them all – the original FIFA International Soccer.

Good evening. One new review tonight – a welcome addition to our sports section in the form of FIFA Soccer Manager. Well, I say welcome…as much as you can welcome something you’ve not played for 11 years because it really, really upset you.
