Some exciting news: the semi-regular discussion series, Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!) has moved to a podcast format! This does mean that future instalments won’t be appearing on FFG in written form. Thanks to everyone who read them, and to Stoo for extending the remit of the site to allow them to be hosted here.  While […]

Hi there. Nice to be back with you again. Sorry it’s been a while. Today’s game is Mafia, a 1930s organised crime caper from Illusion Softworks.

I recently finished Horizon Chase Turbo. Short review: it’s really good! A number of retro-themed arcade racers have caught my attention in recent years, and it seems (albeit from a position of almost total ignorance of modern gaming trends) as if the increasing focus of mainstream racers on a serious, simulation-focused experience has opened up […]

Hi there. Depending on how generous you want to be, we’re either a week or a month late with this one. If you’re English, the post-Euros hangover will be over by now, at least. Personally, I made my headache slightly worse by returning to Actua Soccer and playing its first sequel: Euro 96. And, don’t […]

Hello! Right… how to make this update vaguely topical…? As you know, we’ve just had an election here in the UK. [Leans into microphone] I tell you what, I’ve not seen such a unanimously negative verdict since Daikatana was released! Will that do? Does that, er, you know, work? Hello?

Hi there. Today’s game is our first Tomb Raider review. (Not a review of the first Tomb Raider, though: that would be far too logical). Here’s a look at Tomb Raider: Legend, from Crystal Dynamics.

Hi all. Just a quick note to say we’re aware of some strange issues with our menu pages on the desktop site. The reviews themselves appear to be unaffected, but something seems to have gone wrong with the genre categories. And it all seems to be ok on mobile at the moment. Anyway, we’re looking […]

Some good news: Alpha Protocol is back, after a few years in digital purgatory, thanks to GOG. While I’ve spent a good chunk of the last few years catching up with Bioware RPGs of a certain vintage, Alpha Protocol was probably the game that kicked that whole process off. (It’s somehow very on-brand for me […]

Hi there. If reviews have been in short supply recently, even by our standards, then underestimating the size of the task before me when I took on today’s game is probably one of the reasons why. Still, we got there in the end, and a pretty good time was had along the way. Here’s our review […]

Hi there. It’s been a little while since we brought you a review of an old game, so here’s an EGA football title from the late 1980s: Microprose Soccer. I’m duty-bound to also remind you that like all old footy titles we discuss here, this one goes into the FFG Football League, which now has […]
