F1 2011 Gets Co-op

F1 2011 Gets Co-op

I do wish to declare that I believe F1 2011 including a co-op season mode is a very good idea. For once you will have the chance to both work with your co-op buddy, and also to utterly ruin his game. Imagine, you both have been racing at the very limit of abilities of your car all season and have managed to secure the Constructors Championship, a perfect bit of team-work. It is the last race of the season, you have a gentleman’s agreement that the guy who leads into the first corner will keep the race lead, only to totally ruin his race, and your friendship, by knocking him out of the race to secure the win and the Drivers Championship. That sounds awesome.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising – The Verdict

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising – The Verdict

Just what was Operation Flashpoint’s chief achievement? I suspect, everyone has a different answer. Was it the fact that every shot fired conformed to physical principles? Was it the careful attention to detail in bringing countless real world killing machines to the table?

Ashes Cricket 2009 – The Verdict

Ashes Cricket 2009 – The Verdict

Ashes Cricket 2009 is a game which troubles me, I enjoy it, I really do, but it has so many problems and little niggles that make it hard to enjoy the game. The problems start with the release date, for a game that is using the Ashes licence you would think that the game would have been released before the cricket series started. That didn’t happen, the game only came out on the eve of the final test, that is…
