As part of the site’s 15-year anniversary, I’m doing a few articles looking back at games I covered for FFG in the early days. They’re not the usual reviews or discussion pieces but hopefully you might find them interesting. The first piece, with a bit more explanation, can be found here, and all of the […]

Vous n’avez jamais connu aussi rapide, aussi renversant!
Hello! Just popping in with a quick review, of the 90s kart racer SuperKarts. More soon, I hope.
When I played…multiplayer games
This is the second piece of a series of articles I’m doing about some of the games I covered for FFG in our earliest days. It’s a way of looking back at those games, at the site, and at my own gaming history, as part of the site’s 15-year anniversary. The first piece, and a […]
When I played…Wing Commander III
Somehow we’ve been going 15 years, and without wanting veer too much into the area of excessive self-congratulation, we figured it’d be nice to mark the occasion somehow. As regular readers will know, we’re not the most frequently updated of sites, and so any time spent looking back at, and/or rehashing, old content is time […]
You have become a cult figure with the fans; they chant your name around the ground at every game
Hello there! Another review for you today, and what better way to complete a hat-trick of January reviews (groan) than with a football game? Some time ago I had a look at a mid-00s version of Football Manager. But what ever became of Championship Manager? Here’s a look at the 2006 edition. As Stoo mentioned last time, […]
Review of the year: 2015
Hello there. So 2015 is over, and it’s time to once again take a look back at the year on FFG. This time last year, my stated intentions were to try and fulfil some old and long standing requests and also to add something of note to the strategy section. We managed to do okay […]
I fight for the users
Hi there. Hope you all had a good Christmas. Now, as we all know, Disney have recently brought us a new and much-awaited entry to a beloved sci-fi franchise. Unfortunately, I’m not sure any games based on Star Wars were ever released, so here’s a review of Tron 2.0.
Tell me doctor, where are we going this time?
So I just finished Telltale’s Back to the Future game. Despite having bought it in a fit of excitement upon release, I’d only played the first episode until last Christmas, at which point I declared that the very enjoyable second episode would mean that I’d be working my way through the rest at the earliest […]
Look at that! Look at that!
Lewis Hamilton features in a regular column for BBC Sport Online. I’m not desperately interested in him, or F1 in general, but I have kind of a long commute and there comes a point at which I end up reading every article on the BBC website. Anyway, in a recent piece, hidden amongst the tales […]
Strate-go
I promised I’d look at a strategy game this year, if only to contrive some level of variety in my output, and not just an endless cycle of old football games and vaguely obscure hover racers. So far, it’s not going that well. The game I had in mind was Republic: The Revolution, a political […]
