Hi all, hope you are doing ok. For this review I decided to replicate the mid-2000s PC gaming experience. Eschewing digital distribution, I installed from a DVD. Then I googled, downloaded and manually applied a patch (how quaint). I even ran it in 4:3. All a very authentic reproduction of how it used to be […]

Hello. As regular readers (if they, indeed, exist) will know, when we review a game here at FFG, we make damned sure that we get straight on with reviewing the sequel. Covering a series of games in a timely fashion, and in the correct order, is our top priority, and we will not compromise that […]

Hi there. I’ve been RPG-ing (and Star-Wars-ing) again. With possibly too many references to Mass Effect and an unwitting segue into the merits or otherwise of recent Star Wars films, here’s a look at Knights of the Old Republic.

Hi all. Not that I usually pay attention to such things anymore, but if our records are correct, then this is my 250th review on FFG. And upon which legendary title do I bestow this lofty honour? Why, a daft shareware racer from the mid-90s, of course! Here’s a review of a game called Road […]

Hello everyone. The rusty birthday train has been running a bit late, but finally makes its last stop with this look back at Indiana Jones’ 00s action-adventures. First up, a retrospective consideration of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, first released in 1999 and reviewed here in 2002 (!) … Plus a new review of […]

Hi everyone. Roleplaying games were once supposed to be my area of expertise at this site. I’d like to think that, while I was never exactly prolific, I covered a decent range within the genre, from first-person shooter hybrids to proper old-school beardy examples. However, it’s been a long time since I contributed a review […]

Hi everyone. It’s the Winter Olympics! In real life! Right now! Which is all the incentive I need to dust off some old tie-in game in search of some virtual glory. Here’s a look at Vancouver 2010.

Hello everyone. Last year was the 20th anniversary for this humble site, and to commemorate the occasion we were revisiting old reviews, and pairing those articles up with new reviews of related games. Such is the leisurely pace at which we create content, that one more of these pairings has spilled over into the new […]

Happy New Year to you all. I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m never quite sure whether to keep doing these annual round-ups or not. The first one coincided with an extremely productive year, which seemed to be the primary justification for its existence (although looking at it now, it’s an extremely half-hearted retrospective considering the […]

Hello there! Hope you all had a good Christmas. We’re sneaking in one final review for 2021: racing around the city of Paradise in Criterion’s racer, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box. (Hey, wasn’t there a late-80s rock song that was about some kind of ‘paradise city’? It was quite a big hit, I think). Sending best […]
