First review of my new book comes from no other than the vaunted Edge magazine, which calls it a “breezy yet encyclopaedic history of football games”.
A review of A Tale of Two Halves in Edge magazine. Full text: Bitmap Books gives 110 per cent to this breezy yet encyclopaedic history of football games. A heartfelt foreword by Clive Tyidesley (for years the voice of FIFA) kicks us off, before an overview of the earliest crude simulations, then a season-by-season guide starting from 1981. Even ardent fans will struggle to find gaps here, with inclusions right down to curios from the likes of East Germany, and it's all cheerily wrapped in pixel art and end-of-season awards. That the authors stop their annual review at 2010 is no sign of flagging energy, either. Rather, it underlines EA's Manchester City-like dominance since, and the loss of variety incurred along the way.
