That, uh, sounds like a, uh, exciting game.

 

[joule]

Ahh... actual "Foot"ball, not.. Football. You got me there.

 

[Feath]

How come it isn't known as it's international name?

That, uh, sounds like a, uh, exciting game.

It's a fantastic game.

 

[Iron_cube]

If you say so.

What could be better than a business man holding a soccer ball? That says it all, really.

[Apos]

Sounds OK, but when are they going to come out with "Chartered Accountancy: The Game"!!! That would be even more of a blast!

Or how about "Here, Organize These Paperclips 2: The Return" ?

The original had some of the best graphics I have seen to date. Can't wait.

ITT: Ignorance.

I can't remember when I gave up Champ Man, but this may be reason to start over in management. 'Mon the JT's.

Focusing just on Half-Life news would leave us with about one news post a week. Thus we look at TF2/CSS/DoDS/Portal and of course Steam related news.

Stop? No.

From being on this board for a while now I knew this wouldn't get much of a cheers, considering the football fans consist of me, Feath, Evo, Jimbo and the guy with a Man Utd avatar whoses name escapes me. Regardless it's a huge game that many people will be extremely excited to see on Steam. I'm not a huge fan of the manangement games, I love my pro evolution soccer too much.

Oi! :frown:

Management games just became too complicated and I always found myself just scouring the internet for tips on players and transfers to make just about any team within reason dominant domestically and internationally.

With the likes of FIFA having built in management modes, it's probably no surprise that managerial games have become less popular.

No. We're a Valve news site, not just Half-Life 2, despite the name.

Also, Football Manager 2008 is an excellent game, all you naysayers should try it before you continue naysaying

It also means we get somewhere to discuss games released on Steam and new HL2 mods that isn't the Steam forums, which I think you'll agree is a blessing for all.

P.S. Ni!

Just on that last point, if I could be arsed to move to grab my latest PC Gamer, but I believe that FM08 is still in the top 20 PC games even after its release last year

P.P.S. Ball, ball, ball - footie, footie, footie!
