Football Manager 2010 - Mac
Another season rolls in 10 November 2009 8:22 GMT

The Good
Loads – the new interface makes it easier to glide around the many parts of the game, while the matches themselves feel more fluid, thanks to the touchline shouts. The backroom advice offered by your staff is a neat addition, plus the tactical expansion and match analysis offer an even greater immersion than ever before

The Bad
Anyone with a life can kiss it goodbye, thanks to the far greater detail and customisable features, and though a logical improvement that improves the gameplay, the new interface feels a touch antiseptic, making it feel more of an application than a game

Verdict
It may feel like the default setting to praise the series and others may have been playing it longer than this reviewer's 5 years, but due to the significant changes they’ve made and the ease with which they’ve been integrated, this very well may be the best Football Manager yet

Price
£39.99

Price

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - Xbox 360
Semper fidalis? 20 October 2009 14:00 GMT

The Good
True sandbox game, looks pretty good, variety in missions

The Bad

£349/399

HP goes MacBook crazy 19 November 2009 9:56 GMT

Battery life, spec doesn't match US versions, some fan noise

Price
£1199

Sky Player on Xbox 360
Thinking outside the Xbox 18 November 2009 10:16 GMT

The Bad
Range of tools and performance lags behind faster-evolving rivals, scan times better but still comparatively slow, few significant additions in this version

Price
£from free to £39.99

Are you having trouble finding what you are looking for? Below are a few tips that should help you get the best results from our search engine.

Be Specific

Try to think of words that would best describe the product such who makes it or how many megapixels it has. Our search engine does not recognize "and", "or" "the" or similar words so don't worry about putting them in as search terms.

Spelling

Typos are the most common reason for unsatisfactory search results. If you're not sure how to spell a product or brand name try a more general term.

Tags

If you still can't find what you are looking for, then why not try our tag index where we have tags all our stories with words we think will help you find information quickly. You can choose to look at the tags either via which are the most popular, or via an alphabetical list.
