3 minute readInternational Cricket 2010 is a rubbish name, but it’s a great game. Batting The batting in Ashes Cricket 2009, the last version of this game, was excellent. It’s now slightly better with greater control of each shot’s power. If you don’t try and knock the leather off the ball, you’ve

Freddie Flintoff’s Powerplay Cricket – press release timing failure
< 1 minute read“Play as Freddie Flintoff and become an integral player for England in this fast moving, high scoring arcade cricket game.” That should perhaps read: “Play as Freddie Flintoff and engage in long, soul-destroying rehabilitation programmes that are ultimately unsuccessful. Slowly come to accept that your days as an international cricketer

< 1 minute readThe 2010 version of International Cricket Captain is out. It’s a good game, but pretty similar to the 2009 version really. Our ICC 2009 review should tell you everything you need to know if you’ve never played the game before. Other than that, we want to voice a gripe. To

< 1 minute readMassively disappointed that this isn’t an International Cricket Council backstab simulator. That joke worked better before we realised it was ‘IC’ and not ‘ICC’. We get a penny every time a new person watches this. We’re thinking about buying ourself some crisps later in the year. To be honest, we’re

< 1 minute readThe Wii version of Ashes Cricket 2009 is quite different from other formats. Having played both, we’d also say it was worse. Batting technique Don’t imagine that you’ll be playing hooks and drives. What you will actually be doing is carrying out a pendulous swing as if you’re putting a

< 1 minute readWe did a preview of Howzat a few weeks ago. Just to let you know, it’s live now, so you can give it a go for yourselves. It’s free, if that’s what you’re wondering. Play Howzat and let us know what you think.
