After publishing yet another Need for Speed review (2011’s The Run, the 12th NFS game we’ve covered), my friend and colleague had a suggestion: some kind of series overview might be useful. Given that the NFS brand has lent itself to a few different types of racing game over the years, with useful identifiers like […]

Hi there. For today’s review we have a dark point and click adventure with some literary roots: I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream.

Over Christmas I decided to take a punt on the PlayStation Classic. This isn’t a review of that, for reasons that will quickly become obvious. Here’s what I did when it arrived: I unboxed it and plugged it in, played each of the games I vaguely remembered for about 10-15 minutes each (confirming along the […]

Hi there. Sorry for the radio silence over the last few weeks: I’ve had a few pieces lying around in a nearly-finished state for a while, but other things have been getting in the way. So, what’s more boring than someone making excuses for not updating their website? How about 2500 words or so on […]

Let’s journey back to a weekend evening, sometime in 1998 (or possibly 1999), when a handful of cool dudes are doing what all 17 year-olds should be doing on a Friday or Saturday night: huddling around a beige PC playing computer games.

Hello there! With our coverage of the relatively modern Blackwell series over and done with, it’s back to some proper 90s fare with today’s review of the FMV racing game Cyclemania.

Hi there. As you may know, we’ve been covering Wadjet Eye’s Blackwell games over the last few months or so. Although this final chapter was released as recently as 2014, we didn’t want to delay our review because of our own entirely self-defined and arbitrary rules on how old games need to be to qualify […]

Happy New Year to you all! Back by overwhelming popular demand (ok maybe not), here’s the return of our once-regular feature in which we take a quick look back at what happened on FFG over the last 12 months. My recollection is that I didn’t do one of these last year because our productivity in […]

Hi there. Tonight we continue our look at the Blackwell series, with a review of the fourth game: The Blackwell Deception. There’s a possibility of one or two more bits and pieces before 2018 is over. But these things often take longer than we might like. Wishing you all the very best for Christmas and […]
