Can’t seem to win the big matches? Can’t find that winning goal? Try out these tactics. Win most of your games with an avalanche of goals.

These tactics utilize some call the corner glitch. During corners 2 players will defend, a player will lurk outside the box and the rest of the players inside the box. The corner taker will then pass the ball to the player lurking outside. The player lurking outside will be totally unmarked.

We tried playing a whole season using Manchester United and this was what happened. Unfortunately we didn’t try it with a crappy team.

Playing a whole season using this tactic won us the quadruple. The amount of goals scored was totally insane. The league table:

For big games and against rivals you would have to do some tweaking but against weaker teams its normally a goal glut.

We set Rooney as the person lurking outside the box during corners so all corners will be passed to him to shoot. For difficult games and if a player isn’t doing well we would swap his place with Rooney, that would boost his rating and confidence a bit.

That is our favourite tactic formation. For the tactic to work, the corner taker has to be the Left Winger position.

A different looking tactic formation. After winning the quadruple the bosses gave 91 million to spend on transfers. Barcelona was willing to sell Lionel Messi if you paid 30 million plus Frederico Macheda and Danny Welbeck but Messi wasn’t interested in joining us. He was getting paid 450,000 dollars and we could only afford to pay him 250,000 dollars.

We didn’t get our man, but we bought Igor Akinfeev, Mesut Ozil and Marek Hamsik. We got 3 awesome players and at the same time we got to keep 2 of our players.

Anyway, below is a zip file of the tactics. To extract the file you will need WinRAR. There are a few types of tactics included in tactics.rar. Home tactics are to be used at home, away used during away games and neutral tactics used in finals on neutral soil. Control tactics are used when your opponents have a lot of possession.

In my opinion Call of Dury 4: Modern Warfare is one of the best war game ever made. I loved Battlefield 2 but BF2 didn’t have single player campaign. The only disappointing thing about Modern Warfare was its very short story line but nevertheless it gave me a few hours of really good fun. After finally finishing Modern Warfare yesterday I immediately started on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2. If you thought Modern Warfare was awesome, wait till you play Modern Warfare 2.

In Modern Warfare 2 the graphics are just as stunning as its predecessor if not better. I ran the game on the maximum settings with the following computer spec:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
RAM: Kingston Hyper-X 4GB 1066
Graphic Card: XFX HD5770
Screen Resolution: 1920 X 1080

Modern Warfare 2 starts off 5 years after Zhakaev died. The character that we played in Modern Warfare, Soap MacTavish, returns as a captain. That’s Soap MacTavish below, in his Mohawk hairstyle.

The guy in the picture below is Ghost. One of the team member of Task Force 141. The members in the task force have cool names like Scarecrow, Reaper and so on.

Below is a game play video of the entire No Russian chapter. It contains spoilers so you may want to skip the last few minutes if you are planning on playing the game.

If you love war games, Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 is a must buy. You can certainly bet when I finish Modern Warfare 2 I will be starting on Call of Duty 5: World at War. I definitely see myself re-playing these titles when I’m bored.

Finally after waiting for so long Football Manager 2010 is almost out. The demo was released a few days ago and I had a hell of a time playing. So much so I’m late with my blog post. Less talk, more screenshots!

What can I say? The new interface is looking hot. Every aspect of the game can be easily accessed with the new interface. It took me some time to get used to to the new interface but once I got used to it, the placements were very convenient.

The most notable change that I noticed would have to be the tactics section. Creating tactics wouldn’t be such a pain in the ass for new or old FM players alike.

Below is a short video I made on the new Football Manager 2010 tactics section. You can see how easy it is to create new tactics compared to the older version of Football Manager.

Apart from the tactics section, touchline instructions were also added to matches. It kinda simulates real life football matches when you can actually “shout” instructions to your players from the touchline.

Don’t forget to grab your demo and test it out for yourself. You can get the demo from a direct Steam direct or with Bittorrent. The official game will be released on the 30th of October 2009.
