Review by Chris I. The excitement is in the air, as soccer (or football, depending on where you live) fans around the world eagerly await the World Cup kick-off in June. To capitalise on the hype, EA Sports has done the inevitable and released 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. Given…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Why can’t more games be this much fun? Nintendo Pocket Football Club has absolutely no pretensions about what it is; it’s a casual and lighthearted football management sim that aims to replace the sheer depth of other, more serious, football manager games. It seeks to do…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. When you think about Nintendo games, you’re not typically thinking “soccer simulation game.” Oh no, you’re thinking Mario Kart, or Smash Bros, or even Pokemon. But for me personally, Nintendo Pocket Football Club on the 3DS is the one to look forward to the most, and…

Read MoreArticle by Matt S. If you’re a soccer (football, futbol, etc etc) fan like I am, then this is a great time of year. For whatever reason, both EA and Konami release their respective instalments into their soccer franchises right next to one another, and as these two are the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Thank goodness EA got this one right. After the free-to-play travesty otherwise known as Madden 25 on the iPad I was so very concerned that FIFA 14 would be similarly depressing when it was announced to be a free-to-play game. But it isn’t. In fact, this…
Read MoreThe first thing you’ll notice about Soccer Up 3D is that its content is disappointingly limited.
