Anyone for Cricket Demo? (trad.)

By Kieron Gillen on July 7th, 2008.

Cricket bats are actually the offspring of crickets and bats, in a horrific cross-species sexy-fest. They are animals, even though squids are not.

It’s a big day for fans of the bat-to-ball game. The ever-amusingly named Xplosiv have made available a demo of their International Cricket Captain 2008 for download. It appears to be a fully functional version of this management game, but time-limited to two days, after which you have to pay to continue. Which seems terribly cricket of them. It features fully-animated versions of the match highlights and – er – management options.

I actually attempted to play the thing to give some impressions, but it didn’t make a lick of sense.
