Today’s Game 9/16/2009 -Play For Your Club : Striker of The Month (Web)
European football season is in full swing, and of course I cheer for Arsenal in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions’ League. With Arsenal winning 3-2 today, I decided that one of my favorite footy games.
Play For Your Club – Striker of the Month (Web)
If you haven’t gotten the chance to play this simple game, go check it out. The core of the game is Mousebreaker’s Volley Challenge type of game, where you need to get balls in the goal, with a structured scoring system. In the way of Web Footy games go, it’s a decent experience, but standing solo, it would get old quick. What makes it much more palatable is that the game is always undergoing changes for things like the World Cup, Euro, and other competitions. This just keeps it fresh.
The freshness and humor is where the game excels. When you pick your striker, you’re given a caricature of the player, over exaggerating the huge stature of Peter Crouch, or the diminutive statures of the likes of Robbie Kean and Theo Walcott. The teams are also kept up to date, so if a certain player isn’t playing in the league anymore, don’t expect to see them in the game.
In addition to the game, the community features of selecting the Striker of the Month, makes replaying feel fulfilling. With my team being Arsenal, and of the available Gunners, I go with Robin Van Persie. The more points that all the players score while playing with Van Persie are added to the total, and in August of 2009, he had enough to be the Striker of the Month. This game is a great way of displaying your fandom.
