“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.” This philosophy also carries over to video games, with many not just buying the latest FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer to have a little dabble with, but to invest a solid twelve months of playing time into. Here is a list of what Craig Bryan believes to be some of, if not the best football-based video games ever created.
"Sensible World of Soccer, GRID Autosport and Fable Heroes are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today"
Fingers crossed I get an Xbox one s for my birthday. I've already started getting a few BC games already like lost oddeaey
I remember playing Sensible Soccer on the Amiga back in the 90's. That game was legendary for its time. Couldn't play it now though, can't deal with the graphics.
There was once a time when other football games existed other than the annual FIFA/PES war. Here's a look at 3 such gems.
GamePointsNow takes a look at just why couch co-op could soon be a thing of the past thanks to our new shiny consoles.
I just hope somewhere somehow it doesn't. Last gen started it and its so frustrating really. It should be standard requirment for a co-op game
Couch co op is the first thing i look at when a game says "multiplayer" on the box lol. I feel like couch co op is coming back strong actually. You just need to know where to look.
-Double dragon neon (beat this with my gf. Fantastic game i loved it)
-Dead nation (co op at its best in my opinion)
-Resident evil 5/6 (they kinda suck but still fun with friends)
-CoD (yeah i know its CoD but its still fun with friends too)
-Uncharted 3 (fun as hell to play with a friend)
-Diablo 3 (havent played it yet but i know i'll like it)
-Borderlands series
- Gears of War (not big on the series but people love it)
- Dragons Crown
- PS All stars battle royal
- Donkey Kong
- Mario
- LittleBigPlanet
- Guacamelee
Maybe, but it won't stay down. Just look at the way board games are resurging - people want to play together, and videogames need to remember that.
Football as in soccer....huh?
I only clicked on these comments because I was pretty sure the first comment would be something like "Not a real sport" or "That's not football!" or the already mentioned. I guess I was right.
Football Manager on a smartphone sounds amazing. That is the perfect game to play anywhere.
Spot on with PES4. Played that game for years and haven't played a better footie game since. It just had an amazing feel with the ball at your feet. And you could actually beat players with pace which made 1 vs 1 matches really fun!
The fact was passing was much more an important part of PES, crisp one touch passing and a good through ball to unlock a defence. Football perfection until around PES 6
PES 2005
