Review by Matt S. Of the “great American sports,” I appreciate Ice Hockey and Baseball the most. I like Ice Hockey because it’s a sport of sheer speed and aggression. Seeing a great play executed is a demonstration pure skill; it’s a sport that features speed, grace, elegance, and strength.…

Review by Matt S. The Football Manager games have never had any right to be entertaining. Think about it; when we talk about hardcore simulation or strategy games, we often like to joke that they’re “spreadsheets;” a series of numbers and variables that can be manipulated to optimal effect. But…
