I don’t have the most addicting nature, I don’t smoke, I’ve never had any interest in trying drugs, I do drink on occasions, but very seldom overall, I can live without chocolate and I’m happy not going out every week, so it does take something to get me really hooked on something, a good TV series, a cracking book series or a brilliant game, so it should come as no surprise that this post is about one of those.
It’s a game.
To anyone who has followed this blog over a duration of time may already have an idea of the game as I have quite a few posts about various versions. Football Manager is like crack cocaine (I assume), it’s probably the only game I’ll lose days to consistently with every release, and quite worryingly it’s a game where you can start early and the next time you check the time it’s dark outside, you’ve missed two full meals and if you think about it, you probably really need the toilet.
This years release of Football Manager 2010 is one of the largest updates in the series, offering a new and improved 3D engine, an overhauled interface, more player updates than ever before. I have reviewed this for another site, so you can check out my review of it there.
Over the last couple of days I’ve installed over 4gb of updates featuring team crests and tournament logos, face packs and new skins. It’s a very customizable game as well as amazingly addictive.
If you haven’t played it. Do so, it’s bloody brilliant. Sorry for the short update, I’m off to play some more Football Manager.
