Football Manager 2007 was a game I spent hundreds of hours on with my brothers, and lately, I have been wanting to retry it. I have played the series since 1997 (when it was Championship Manager).
I play newer entries in the series, and while they are fun, they take a lot of time to get going. In this game, everything is quick, and the ability to see the action was also new for me.
Finding young players, buying them and then developing them into superstars was super fun. The new feeder club system was also a cool addition to the series. On top of that, there were many clubs with fun squads to manage.
Another reason for me wanting to retry this is that many of the best players who played then were players that I miss watching, like Gerrard, Kaka, Mess, and so on.
Seeing this in the store would be great, and a real nostalgia trip.
I always wanted to play a management game where I could control the entire club, something that would help me escape reality—or perhaps convince myself that I was controlling reality itself. Fantasy leagues never really appealed to me; I longed for something more authentic.
After years of playing Czech Soccer Manager (realistic but too simplified) and SoccerProject.com (great community but too fantasy-oriented), I finally discovered Football Manager 2007 at the age of almost 14. From that moment on, I was hooked, and I didn't tear myself away from the screen until the release of FM2013 (I started going to work...).
At one point, my sense of reality became completely blurred – I remember arguing passionately with friends about who won the Champions League. I was absolutely convinced it was Liverpool, solely because of my addiction to FM, when in fact it was Barcelona in the 2008/09 season.
Now, almost 12 years later, I've returned to the series and this time I've immersed myself in FM24. However, driven by pure nostalgia, I rebooted Windows XP and installed FM07. Unfortunately, I desperately miss the Czech language add-on, which I searched for everywhere in vain all week. I even bought an original copy on eBay for $12, but I honestly think that those of us who desperately cling to childhood memories deserve easier access—perhaps through platforms like GOG.com.

Harvest Moon: Back to NatureNatsume's farm simulation series makes its debut on the PlayStation with Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Starting out with a few rudimentary implements and very little money, you begin the arduous task of reviving your grandfather's farm and thereby claiming your place as its rightful heir.
Players are given three years to achieve this goal. A year consists of four seasons, each of which lasts 30 days. Different crops can be planted each season, but before the seeds can be planted, the land must be cleared and then the soil tilled.
Seeds must also be watered until the fruit or vegetable matures. Once the crops are ready for harvest, they can be placed in a shipping bin where they'll be collected and paid for. In addition to farming, players will interact with local villagers and partake in seasonal events such as the Tomato Festival and Fireworks Display. As more money is earned, players can expand their farm and begin to raise livestock such as chickens and cows.Business
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Phantom DustPhantom Dust is a video game for the Xbox console. It was developed by Microsoft Game Studios, produced and directed by Yukio Futatsugi, director of the critically acclaimed Panzer Dragoon for Sega Saturn. It was licensed for release in the U.S. by Majesco. Phantom Dust is a pseudo-card-based action/strategy game in which the player collects skills (over 300 total) and takes missions to attempt to discover why Earth is in the condition it is. Players construct "arsenals" (similar to decks of cards) from their acquired skills and then use them to battle against other players. The game incorporates strategy and action elements in to a game that requires both mental and reflexive skill.
The game remains a cult hit.
The Xbox Live servers no longer support Online Multiplayer for Phantom Dust, or any other Xbox Original game.Action Science fiction
