While looking for a good free Gridiron management game last night, I stumbled across this racing team manager (another sort of game Ive been looking for)

http://www.msm-game.com/

Its text-based and plays out in real time, so building a new office takes days, if not weeks, in real time. Also, you hire/fire drivers and staff. Set Research & Development tasks, get sponsorships, etc.

Its a multiplayer game, so every 3 days, there is a race. Theres leagues within divisions you have to work your way up through.

Ive only done the build up to my first race. The race is tomorrow. Its fun at the moment, but dont know if it'll hold my attention.

Definitely one to look at if you like F1.

Very different from black ops 2. I don't think it is as much fun.

Been playing heaps of bo2. Learnt a new camping tactic and it is funny as hell. Drives people crazy.

Bf4 is great. Getting the xbone on Friday. Can't wait.

I started off enjoying it, mainly because it was a new game I think.

but yeah after an hour or two, and wasn't playing with anyone I know online so that made it not as enjoyable.

will see what happens when im on with a few mates.

when it all comes down to it tho, cod is cod.... only so many things they can change.

With BF4 or even BF3 for that matter it was always more enjoyable when you had mates on... or people you could talk to during the game... BF has so many variants like tanks, helicopters, jets, jeeps, lavs that you need to be mindful of, there are only certain soldier kits and perks within those kits that can defeat these kinds of vehicles so you need to work together. Playing the game on your own is just no where near as fun, i would think it would be pretty similar in COD that you would enjoy it more when mates are on.

On bf4, I tell people to use the Mic in my squad or gtfo. If there is more than 1 sniper, gtfo. If they aren't playing the objective, gtfo. 1 of each class and play the objective = dominate. I don't shut up either.

Xbox one? If yes I will add you. In fact I'll do it tonight, because even if you don't have an xbone, you will have one soon.

sorry, my bad... the lot really... but what i've seen the graphics look really good. But gameplay obviously being the important one.

I liked the Story mode a lot. Being able to switch between the 3 characters is good, and they all have different stories. It was good how they left Multiplayer unavailable for the first few weeks, coz it made people play the Story.

Online is a bit slow at the start, but once you get some cash and start buying things like guns and cars, it gets fun. BUT it does get a bit boring if you dont have a friend on at the same time. Unless you talk to strangers (im not a fan of chatting to people I dont know on there).

The other week, my brother was online with me, and showed me how to get fighter jets from the military base, and then when he was just flying around, I locked onto him and had a dogfight. :lol:

Plus there's missions to do, like Survivals, where there's waves of people trying to kill you, and if you die, you go into spectator mode. If one of your team mates survive the wave, you all come back for the next one. If everyone dies during a wave, its game over.

So much to do.
