I know, I know... why need a cycling computer game when I've got a bike .... it's getting cold and dark and I'm a wuss, that's why :P

I've finally got myself a PC capable of playing decent games, so I need some decent games for it. Any good cycling ones out there? Is Pro Cycling Manager any good?

    It's an ok game, I've not played it enough to master it as I get put off because it's pretty slow, that maybe my PC, although I didn't think the PC was too bad!

    The PSP version is rubbish. Do not buy it.

    No worries there. I haven't got a PSP.

    It's payday next week so I'll give Pro Cycling Manager a go. Any others worth a look at?

    I dunno, it illuminates an otherwise boring 90 mins on a train.

    The PC version's quite good.

    The effort made to recreate the routes and the database of riders is very impressive.
    The realism of the other riders also very close to reality.

    The game itself is a bit simple.

    A sketch book. A can of Emulsion and a 1 inch brush would do that.

    I spent a while looking for this a couple of years ago, no one had it, eventually found a copy on Ebay from someone in Hong Kong. Ordered it, and then waited 2 months for it to arrive. i'd actually forgotten I'd ordered it.

    Anyway, played it in all modes. It truly is awful.

    I like riding, I like games. This was woeful.

    Yes I have. I can manage to win on one course only - in the Giro, the rest I am truly awful!
