I love Paris, in the fall

Hello. Our series of retrospective discussions continues, as Stoo, Jo and myself take a look back at Broken Sword. We hope you’re enjoying these, and hope to do more, but watch out for some brand-new reviews in the near future.

Bravery is not a function of firepower

Hello all. Because we like playing at features that proper professional gaming magazines and websites do, we’re continuing our series of discussion reviews. The idea is to revisit some of the games we’ve covered in the past 10 years, to celebrate this site lasting that long (hurrah for us). So far we’ve covered an ancient […]

The linesman has raised his…flag

Good evening. Tonight, as part of our 10-year anniversary-thing, we continue our look back over some of our favourite games, and reviews, of the past. This time, Stoo and I talk about Puma World Football. Hope you enjoy it – there’s more to come.

Looking back

As you may or may not know, FFG is now 10 years old. Given that we’ve unexpectedly managed to make it to this fairly significant milestone, it seems only right that we try and mark it in some way. We’ve got several things planned. Exactly how many of these things will come to fruition depends […]

Happy birthday, to me

Hi there. Did you know that we’re 10 years old this year? Well, we are. No, don’t you worry about a present. We’ve got a few things planned. The first thing we’re going to try, though, is a series of discussions of some of our previously-reviewed games on the site, starting with 4D Sports: Driving […]

FFG Review of the Year: 2010

Well, that’s another year (almost) done and dusted. For once I’m not frantically trying to get one last review in before we get into January, so the very least I could do is staple together some half-hearted reminiscences from the previous twelve months, for anyone that might be interested. Don’t worry – they’re FFG-specific, rather […]

Let’s lay waste to…this century

So I finally made it to the magic 100. As achievements go, it’s hardly on a par with discovering the cure for…well, anything, but hey, if you can’t put a little note about reaching a milestone on your own website without feeling like you’re blowing your own trumpet rather too loudly, then you probably shouldn’t […]

97 not out

I’m not normally one for milestones, but there’s one coming up fairly soon. It’s been a long time (perhaps too long) in coming, but better late than never I suppose. So, in case you’d noticed this yourself and were lying awake at night wondering if I’ve got something special planned – well, I do. Kind […]

2010: It’s gonna rock

So that was 2009. Despite our best efforts it’s been a quiet one, although we did manage to update each month, which is still better than we used to manage back in the early days (when, ironically, we had much more free time). Anyway, our limited ambitions for the year were largely realised. Having started […]

Another year over, a new one just begun

So that was 2008. My journal prediction (made approximately 12 months ago) that the year would, ahem, “rock” may have been slightly tongue-in-cheek but, buoyed by 2007’s comparatively healthy schedule of updates, I had thought we could at least achieve something similar in 2008. For whatever reason, it didn’t happen. Still, we did manage an […]
