There's a new game in town... and it's Cricket!

Sublimity · 03-14-2006, 09:25 AM

Just wanted to cross-post this. A new cricket simulation game will be on the market on Friday, it appears. Here's a link to the OT thread that started it all.

This thread is better than the OT one

Because I can get a nice +1

That was in no way my intent.

Actually, I did really think it should be cross posted here. This is where most of the new game threads come, so people who are interested in new games but not necessarily in the oddity that is OT would be more likely to come here. But I started it myself rather than suggest it so I could get the sweet +1 which is now sweet +3!

Ah, just thought of this. For any lurkers out there, here's the game's website:

I learned that when you dont score on a pitcher, the pitcher gets a maiden, and pitchers are bowlers here...without pins....wickets instead.

+1.

I am glad this was crossposted. +1.

kq76 · 03-14-2006, 11:05 PM

It looks good! I hope it does well. Does anybody know anything about the developers? Do they have a good reputation?

EDIT: I read their about page. It sounds like this will be their first release. Best of luck to them!

Very Interesting.

Interesting premise and a definite niche game that'll draw interest from the 10 cricket-starved gamers out there.

Not my bag of chips, though.

The Funk · 03-14-2006, 11:50 PM

Cricket is awesome.

Sub is a +1 whore.

I don't lurk. I do some other thing, er, than lurk.

The Funk · 03-15-2006, 12:16 AM

Do you skulk?

ihatenames · 03-15-2006, 01:53 AM

Looks very well done. I don't know enough about cricket to really consider it though. I've always liked the si style interfaces.

LFC1892 · 03-15-2006, 04:38 AM

I'll be taking a look at the demo when its released..

dougaiton · 03-15-2006, 06:38 AM

It looks really good. Their previous game, Michael Vaughan Cricket Coach Championship Manager (or something) was pretty good but very rough round the edges. This one looks very polished.

I've been playing ICC a lot but it can be fairly annoying.
