Review: Assassin’s Creed: Director’s Cut

Hi there. It’s probably worth noting that there’s nothing sinister or deliberate in the timing of this review, although whether this is the right weekend for a trip back to a fictionalised version of the medieval Crusades will be a matter of personal taste. Anyway, for no particular reason other than the fact we fancied […]

Moments in Gaming: Pull It Down

Moments in Gaming is where we look back on gaming experiences that have left a particularly strong impression on us over the years: mainly for good reasons, but sometimes for bad ones. As it’s Star Wars Day (Fourth of May be with you!) we figured it was time for a couple of moments from LucasArts […]

Review: Torchlight

Hi all! It’s been a while, but I have a new review for you. Today we’re looking at the action-RPG from Runic Games, Torchlight. More reviews soon. Maybe. Hopefully.

Review: Wheelman

Hi there. Hope all’s well with you. Today’s game is Vin Diesel’s Wheelman™: A Wheelman™ Game (starring Vin Diesel).

Discussion: Emily Is Away <3 (spoilers!)

Hello! This is Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), our semi-regular discussion series in which Jo and I talk about our chosen indie title with lots of plot spoilers along the way. Today’s game is Emily Is Away <3 – the third Emily game by Kyle Seeley, released in 2021. We’ve covered the previous two already, and […]

Review: Blur

Hello there. Today’s game is relatively recent by our standards, but is also no longer commercially available and from a developer that is now defunct. All of which is a shame, because it’s an absolute corker. (I could make a joke here about always preferring Oasis or Pulp, which I sort of am doing anyway, […]

FFG Review of the Year: 2022

Hello. It’s that time of year where we traditionally do a half-hearted round-up of the stuff we’ve covered on FFG. I’m going to eschew the usual small talk about what kind of a year it’s been out in the real world, other than to acknowledge that things are tough for many and to send you […]

The Unreviewed: 2022

Happy New Year to you all. As we get to the end of the year and the inevitable question of whether to do a reluctant-sounding round-up of 2022 on FFG (spoiler: we will) I figured it might be worth trying something a little different as well. I do quite like our semi-official policy of mainly […]

Discussion: Emily Is Away Too (spoilers!)

Hi there. Welcome to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series which should really have a generic introduction in italics at the top here but, for some reason, doesn’t. Today’s game is Emily Is Away Too, a 2017 follow-up to the previous game we covered. Yep, you’re back on Windows XP, exchanging IM messages with someone […]

Review: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Hi there. Once hyped as an exciting new chapter of the Star Wars canon, with input from the grand high beard himself, now officially relegated to ‘never happened, sorry’, today’s game is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. (Not to dazzle you with thrilling ‘behind the curtain’ insight, but I had a more old school title, […]
