Cricket Revolution

Oct 29, 2009

It’s inevitable that some bastards will find exploits and use them to grind out win after win. If Mindstorm can deal with this as it happens, they could have a sleeper hit on their hands. If only it didn’t look like such a dog’s dinner.

FIFA Manager 10

There’s a great streamlined multiplayer mode to play, although the single-player mode is let down by random press questions, a limited transfer system, too much financial dealing and simplistic tactics.

Football Manager 2010

The hugely agreeable database remains while the customising options are second to none. It’s a good result for Football Manager – Champ Man needs to equalise once more.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online

A fully-featured, console-quality Tiger Woods game... in your browser? Now you've got yet another reason to avoid doing work on your computer... when you're not constantly refreshing GamesRadar.com, of course.

La Vuelta Online

Sep 1, 2009

This browser-based, free-to-play game lets fans enjoy the insane thrill of simulated bicycling while offering the chance to win prizes as well.

Pangya

The Pangya series becomes a free-to-play MMORPG - play cartoon golf with a massive online community, customize your character, and buy certain in-game items with real-life money.

Customplay Golf 2010

Jul 10, 2009

A decent golf simulator that lacks in swing functionality but attempts to make up for it with content and shareable create-a-courses.

Championship Manager 2010

Unrealistic transfers, player prices, board criticisms and transfer-listed players are a gripe, while being unable to alter small details – such as your manager’s experience levels or which leagues are playable in a nation – grate. In time, we’re sure the kinks will be ironed out. Until then, this remains Championship material.

Quick Hit Football

Tired of shelling out for Madden every year? Well here comes a new PC football game that is free-to-play, which may make up for the lack of NFL support.

NBA 2K10

Oct 12, 2009

While no sports game will ever properly recreate what it’s like to participate in the activity, they can at least make it look like you’re watching the sport on the TV. NBA 2K10 does this almost perfectly, with superb commentary and broadcast presentation making every game a big occasion.

Texas Cheat 'Em

Play some Texas Hold 'Em where cheating is encouraged in this downloadable title.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

PES 2010 isn’t a massive fall from grace, but it’s another failure to fix the problems that have plagued Pro Evo for the last few years. The core playability is still there, but unless you’re blinded by lingering love, the flaws will mar the experience significantly.

Vancouver 2010 - the Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games

Another Olympics, another Olympics game. Here's hoping this next winter foray can top the blandness associated with the Olympiad's video game history.

Black College Football Xperience

This football game mixes things up in many ways, first by featuring teams from Historically Black Colleges, and by having two rhythm games to boot, based around the half-time show and the drumline (made famous in the film Drumline).

MLB Dugout Heroes

This is the first official MLB online, free-to-play baseball game and will feature all the teams and ball parks.

Virtua Tennis 2009

Jul 3, 2009

Virtua Tennis 2009 is convincing at first glance but the more you pick at it the more it lets you down, with one-dimensional serves, at-times-ridiculous net play and an almost total lack of unforced errors.

Major League Baseball 2K9

Mar 3, 2009

Providing that you can wade through a terrible user-interface and complicated controls when without a gamepad, this is another decent outing for the 2K franchise

Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009

Nov 18, 2008

The King of footie sims returns, this year with a long awaited 3D viewpoint during matches. Plus you can be a girl now too. Woo, girl power!

International Cricket Captain 2008

It may not be totally worth the price but ICC '08 is definitely authentic and you can do other things while playing it. This is good, because its appearance is troll-ish.

Out of the Park Baseball 9

Jun 17, 2008

A comprehensive, astonishingly intricate sim - OotPB 9 is historically accurate and has great play-by-play. Baseball team managers apply here for job opportunities.
