10 Humongous Video Games You'll Completely Lose Yourself In

Football Manager isn't humongous in terms of world size, but the sheer scale of the game is damn impressive.

With a database of almost every professional footballer in the world, every league, cup and competition, not to mention all the intricacies of managing a team, negotiating with players, hiring backroom staff and building a growing reputation amongst fellow managers, Football Manager keeps you coming back for more. That's not even mentioning the matches themselves.

Over the years, tactics have become more refined which not only ups the challenge, but gives the player an even greater sense of satisfaction when they manage to outplay a superior team.

There's replayability as well. Okay, so most of us choose our favourite teams, the game being the closest many of us will get to seeing them achieving what we know they are really capable of if only FIFA would put us in charge.

Yet, if you're brave enough, you can take on a team in a lower league or another nation, with rules and finances changing accordingly, forever changing the challenge of reaching the top tiers.
