Football Manager coming to PSP? Well it's something we've wanted to do for some time and I have probably been boring people shitless about how much I love the PSP over the past few months. But now it's announced we're hoping to be out with FM 2006 PSP before Christmas
"We're approaching this version from quite a different angle, as the handheld experience is very different. You'll probably play for 10 minutes in a session rather than the five or six hours for the desktop version.
"SI's Mark Vaughan has been heavily involved and we're trying to take the depth and gameplay from the desktop version and turn it into a coffee table experience. It's got everything from our main game, but you can take it around and play - and it's totally bloody addictive.
"Multiplayer? More will be announced later in the year - I don't want to disappoint the fans by promising anything concrete yet, but we're certainly very excited about the possibilities..."
