Any respectable gamer should have heard about Football Manager by now. It’s one of those games that gets its hooks into you and never lets go, consuming your free time and your very mind whenever you’re away from your PC. It even has its own urban myth, claiming that (after World of Warcraft, one must presume) Football Manager is one of the most cited computer games in divorce cases ever. No evidence for that, of course, but everyone nods sagely when they hear that kind of thing. It’s the kind of game that you measure in hundreds of hours played rather than tens, and now it’s available for your gaming pleasure on that plucky little Vita
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As with a number of genres like MMOs and real-time strategy titles, simulation games are a lot more common on PCs than consoles and this is doubly the case with handhelds, where simulations aren’t always suited to the pick-up-and-play nature of on-the-go-gaming. Thanks to two generations of backwards compatibility and the variety of native software it has received over the years, though, the Vita offers a little something for everyone in this department."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Ever since the advent of full-game downloads on consoles, it seems the market has slowly been shifting towards a digital future where games are delivered through internet connections rather than physical disks. While the convenience this brings is undeniable, and plenty of gamers have embraced having a stuffed memory card in their Vita, there are major pitfalls that are slowly beginning to show, one of which is that games can be delisted without any prior warning, leaving them lost to time unless you bought them before they disappeared."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."
