International Cricket Captain is the summer game's equivalent of the all-consuming Football Manager, an in-depth simulation of the real-life sport which enables you to take control of your favourite county or international side and manage them to sporting glory.
With the latest version ICC 2006 launching shortly, we joined England batting star Kevin Pieterson and ICC producer Chris Childs at Lord's yesterday for an in-depth look at the final version of the game. Obviously you've got to love this most noble and superb of real-life games, but there's every sign that this season's version of ICC will live up to Childs' aim of making the 'perfect cricket game' and, of course, we'll be bringing you a full and comprehensive review shortly.
However during the course of the presentation, Childs revealed that both 360 and PSP versions of the game are on their way and that a totally revised version with a brand new 3D match engine will be in place for a big push on the title to coincide with next year's Cricket World Cup. Just as Football Manager successfully migrated onto both formats, ICC will follow suit and, personally speaking as lovers of the summer game, we can't wait.
