Review: Death Rally

Hello all. After exploring more recent games in our last few reviews, we’re going back to the 90s for today’s piece, in which we take a look at the action racer from Remedy and Apogee, Death Rally.

The Reluctant Upgrader

In a move that will shock precisely none of our longer-term readers, this week I became one of the last people to make the upgrade to Windows 10, days before the support period for Windows 8.1 expired. (Wikipedia: ‘as of January 2023, 2.59% of traditional PCs running Windows are running Windows 8.1’). Over the past […]

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 […]

Review: World Cup 98

Hi there. Believe it or not, this review was all set to go live at a suitably relevant point last week, but, as regular readers may have noticed, we had a few technical hiccups to sort out. Anyway, the big international footy thing was in the winter this year, for all kinds of dubious reasons. […]

Review: X-Wing

Hello. With a modern tale of an expensive investment quickly destroyed due to a fundamental weakness unfolding as we speak, how about we go back a long time, to a galaxy far, far away (again) and try and blow up the Death Star? It’ll take some doing, though. For me, it’s taken 28 years. Yes, […]

Review: Street Racing Syndicate

Ah one two, microphone check; one-two, microphone check one-two; microphone checka one-two, tell you what I’m gonna do! Yo yo yo yo yo! It’s ya boy Rik from the F-to-the-F-to-the-G, with a sick new ride comin’ to you from 2005, when they knew how to do it! Y’know what I’m sayin’? [No – and can […]

Review: Manic Karts

Hi there. We’ve got some 90s karting action for you today, plus a bonus feature on its slightly nightmarish music. The game is called Manic Karts. [What did we talk about with these intros, Rik? – Ed.] Ah, ok. Also – how are you? Did you have a good summer? September already, huh? What about […]

Review: MegaRace 2

Happy Friday everyone. For some reason, I decided it was time to play MegaRace 2. As is customary, here follows a summary of my thoughts.

Blade Runner: ‘Enhanced Edition’ is finally out

I was all ready to click ‘Buy’ on the new ‘Enhanced’ edition of Blade Runner… until the reports of those who were keener and quicker to do so put me off. To be honest I’d sort of forgotten about it – the last time we wrote about Blade Runner here it was to note that […]
