Digg thisMy awesome Forza 3 F50, with F1 livery
I spent some serious time making this car! Unfortunately, one of the logos was created by another player so I can't make the design available on my store front. Hope you like it anyway

After years of trying to make it as a video game journalist I have taken a huge step towards my goal.
For the first time, I have had a review published on GameSpot.

FIFA 10 - awesome, but 2 things spoil manager mode.
I'm really loving FIFA 10 but I have two major issues regarding matches in Manager Mode, specifically when playing in the FA Premier League.
1. Even if you play (like I do) as a top 4 side, stadiums never seem to be full. Now, I understand that the idea is you are a "new manager" but stadiums like Old Trafford, Anfield and Stamford Bridge are never noticeably any less than sold out on ANY matchday. Whether that's a league match or something smaller like the League Cup. A new manager would not make less people want to go and watch a top 4 club. Away stadiums should be more full when these teams are visiting as well. Most Premier League sides will always see an enormous increase in ticket sales when visited by someone like Man. United or Chelsea.
2. The weather conditions determined by the game are completely wrong. Granted, in England a certain proportion of games are expected to be rainy, but not every match, every weekend - as appears to happen in FIFA 10. There are also far too many night matches. Almost every real match in the Premier League is played between 12-6pm on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Only Champions League and occasional League/ FA Cup matches should be at night.
I know these may seem like just niggling issues, with what is a fantastic football game, but the lack of attention to detail in these areas really can break the immersion in manager mode and remind you that you're just playing a game.
