I am old enough to have had the pleasure of many sleepless nights playing Brian Lara Cricket ’96 on the SEGA Megadrive, also Brian Lara Cricket ’99 on the PSOne, then working on the PlayStation2 and Xbox revival in 2005 with Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 (what a summer for cricket that was!) and then Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 too. Those of us of a certain age at Codemasters are veterans of both playing and working on some of the best cricket games ever made in our humble-yet-expert opinion. With all of that in mind, this recent ‘Game Awards’-related tweet prompted a large wave of nostalgia at Codemasters with regards our fondly-remembered Brian Lara Cricket series of games. This time of year is also awards season you may have noticed, and not wishing to blow our own Codemasters-branded trumpet too much (well, maybe a little…) we were so proud of our CEO, Frank Sagnier, winning the prestigious “Leadership Award” at the recent TIGA Awards, not to mention the awesome F1® 2017 winning “Best Racing Game” too. Wow, where has the year gone? With the scorching summer but a distant memory, and with Halloween and now Bonfire Night having passed, surely it can’t almost be the Christmas holidays…shudders (to cries of “HUMBUG” from the office)…
