Quite Good Tennis

Eurogamer publishes my preview of Empire of Sports from the same trip Jim described here. Being a preview, I talk about the game a wee bit more, starting like this…

You knew that, eventually, it was coming. Perhaps the only surprise is that it came from a relatively obscure French team rather than one of the mega-publishers. You’d have thought that – say – Electronic Arts would have figured that getting paid twelve times a year may be a better bet than getting paid once for an update. But no. It’s developers F4 – in a joint venture with the financial muscle of Sports Marketing company Infronts – who have had a crack.

And then continuing happily along, as is my previewing-wont.
