^ oh yeah! if you have a wii and enjoy simple FUN old school games you'll have an absolute blast with the new Mario Bros. at first the extra players on screen feels a little disconcerting but after about a level you get used to how your friends play and it gets exponentially more fun with more players.

I second this. The new Mario is good old school fun...and having 4 players on the screen at once is a ton of fun. Sometimes if you are playing with someone who is really terrible (which is sad to see...it's a freaking sidescroller) it gets frustrating. Otherwise, good stuff.

Seeing as I intend to stay away from all the work I have to do for a week yet, I've dug this out for the first time in a while. For some weird reason I feel the need to try and get Accrington Stanley into the Premiership. One and a half seasons in, 8th in League 1 - not bad so far.

Not played FM in a while, I don't want to get bitten by the bug right this moment. It is an awesome game though.

Definitely. It's a horribly addictive game too - I remember back before I had much else to do (aka uni) I used to play it religiously. I think taking Wigan to a Champion's League semi was my finest hour on it. Good times!

I love taking the lowest league available and a club with a terrible money situation. Winning the league in the first season and making the club run a profit is very rewarding, though you've pulled most of your hair out by then, lol.

Yeah, frustrating too, I forgot that bit, especially when the computer has a tendency to make games waaaaaaaay more incident-packed and dramatic than they always are (like you're 4-1 up with five seconds left and then concede three). Picking lower league teams is definitely the way to go - even if I supported any one of them, picking Arsenal, Man U or Barcelona would get pretty boring after a while. There's just no challenge in steam-rolling the top divisions.

Theres a forum on the SI site all about Lower League Managing, with their own rules to make it more realistic (like not scouting in places that the real club wouldnt be able to get to etc) and it's quite fun once you get stuck in, plus there is a random lower league team generator if you're stuck on who to pick, lol.

I haven't played the latest edition yet, but I will once I have a spare year to get lost in.

That forum sounds really interesting actually - might have to give it a go. I made a point in picking Accrington to play a club that've never won a major trophy or made it to the top two leagues (makes it more satisfying when you take them there), and it would've been much simpler to just get one from a random generator or whatever. I'll bear that in mind next time, aka when I get the latest edition (still using the 2007-8 one - I'm just that far behind the times) or, as you say, next time I have a year to spend playing the thing day and night.
