Hi everyone. Today’s review is from the collection marked ‘Xbox 360-era games I meant to get around to one day’. As I’d already played the first one, I decided to pick out Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. Do we need a bit more hype? Er… is the Force strong with this one? Do they […]

Moments in Gaming: ‘Default’
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. I mentioned recently an unsuitability for playing ‘proper’ racing games, with modern simulation and sim-adjacent games being so effective at conveying a sense of […]
Review: SHIFT 2: Unleashed
Good afternoon! Today’s review is of the racing game SHIFT 2: Unleashed. Almost certainly, after 18 games, this will be the last Need for Speed (yes, this is a Need for Speed game) to be covered on FFG. As long-term readers (if any exist) will be aware, we already have a Brief History summarising all […]
Review: Shardlight
Hi there! Today’s review is another modern(ish) indie adventure: Wadjet Eye’s post-apocalyptic point-and-clicker from 2016, Shardlight. Next time I’m here, I’ll have something really exciting for you. (Well, actually, not that exciting – don’t get your hopes up or anything.)

Moments in Gaming: Demos at Christmas
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. I’m not really sure if demos are a thing anymore; I basically haven’t been short of games to play for a long time, but […]
Vault of Regret: The Thing
The Vault of Regret is a very large place, which houses dusty old game CDs and boxes, untouched digital libraries, and the metaphysical concepts of remorse and embarrassment. Here we write about all the games we should have played but haven’t, or that we have played but didn’t enjoy, among other things. The Thing is from a […]
