Tour De Force: Pro Cycling Manager 2010 Out

Flicking through videos, the second I hit the enormous logo - presented above - glinting, I knew I had to Cyanide's Pro Cycling Manager 2010. It amazes me on several levels. Firstly, it solves the management-games-don't-look good problem, by i) making the race engine really nifty and ii) never showing anything in the trailer which isn't the aforementioned nifty panoramas of gently swaying male buttocks. Secondly, it brings to mind the idea of a spin-off - Amateur Cycling Manager, which is based around a very demanding parent shouting at local children who are wrestling with stabilisers. Joking aside, the foot-to-pedal game does feature this really neat course editing tool, which is impressive even to my unprofessional eyes. No demo yet, but it's available to buy from Cyanide's shop.
