Move move move (The Red Tribe)

Hi everyone. Sometimes I just get the urge to play a really old football game. Most of them are quite bad, really, but there you go. Today’s review is of Manchester United Europe.

You kill a few men before a jury gives you permission to, and they fire you

Good evening. October seems to be a fairly productive month for us at FFG. No, not because it’s Halloween. (You know, that really isn’t such a big deal over here). Anyway, it’s been a little while, but we’ve got one of our discussion review features for you tonight. The game is Outlaws. Yee-haw! *fires guns […]

The fastest game on Earth

Hi everyone. I seem to be on a bit of a roll with these futuristic racers. Here’s another one for you: a game called Ballistics, from 2001. Thank goodness for Stoo and his Duke Nukem retrospective! Next time: something completely different.

Damn, damn und blast

Hello. Another day, another review, another future hover racer thing (but, you know, from the past). It’s Slipstream 5000.

Twenty two megaton, you’ve never seen so much fun

Hi there. There’s been a lot written about this game recently, probably because the PlayStation is 20 this year (in Europe, at least). I can assure you, though, that the timing of this review is completely coincidental. (Oh! To be able to plan such things so meticulously…) The PC version, as we shall see, loses […]

Why does it always rain on me

Hello there. It’s been a little bit quiet around here recently. Sorry about that. But at some point in the summer I did manage to play, and write about, an old game. So here it is: Screamer 4×4.

Need for Speed: The Mess

So, armed with a new computer, and with a recent Need for Speed review in the bank, I decided to check out some more recent entries in the series. Following the relative disappointment of Carbon, EA Black Box, the team responsible for NFS games since Underground (on PC at least: they also did the good […]

Frame rate woes

The existence of this site, and my ongoing contribution to it, would suggest minimal enthusiasm for the latest gaming technology. Eventually, however, when a five year old game bought from a Steam sale for a few quid is downloaded and launched with moderate excitement, only for frame rates to fall noticeably below a fairly liberal […]

No-one likes the tuna here, asshole

Hello there. We return to the Need for Speed series for today’s review, of the 2006 instalment, Need for Speed: Carbon.

Knee-Deep in the Dead

Well, it took us long enough, but we finally got around to taking a look at Doom. On a site as low-key as this one, it’s probably over-stating a case to call anything ‘much-requested’ or ‘long-awaited’, but in the context of FFG history, a very old request and a number of half-hearted murmerings in the […]
