Hello. Just popping back in with our traditional look back at the past 12 months. (It may not be very useful to you, the reader, but it helps old fellas like us keep track of things, as the years increasingly blur into each other, weeks and months seemingly pass in the blink of an eye, […]

Currently playing: Christmas edition
Currently playing: My Steam Backlog Happy New Year! I hope you all had a good Christmas break. Due to a combination of factors (for my own part, a miscalculation when choosing which games to cover) we weren’t able to bring you any new content over the past couple of weeks. While work on that continues, […]
It’s only us
I’ve written before about how I came to associate FIFA with Christmas, and following a recent clearout my parents reunited me with my old copy of FIFA 2000, which I think was maybe the last version I received as a present (the following year, I’d discover Pro Evolution Soccer). While browsing the excellent (but completely […]
A Trivial Pursuit
I was being slightly facetious last time I mentioned this, but Christmas is a time for board games and quizzes. In fact, many of my earliest memories of the Yuletide season involve the family all getting together to play Trivial Pursuit – not the actual board game, mind you, but the computer version. Much of […]
You’ll need to know your Magpies from your Canaries
Hi there! It’s nearly Christmas [no it isn’t – FFG Reader], and everyone enjoys a good quiz at Christmas [maybe – FFG Reader], particularly if it’s a football quiz [nope, lost it again – FFG Reader], right? So in a topical, seasonal, and totally relevant update, with nothing at all to do with my bizarre […]
Another place, another time
Hello there. Today’s game takes us – indirectly, at least – back to the earlier days of FFG, and one of the first games we ever covered. Let’s go stunt driving, it’s Crashday.
Get a bloomin’ move on
Whoops! Back again already. This is kind of an accidental review, as you’ll see, but new content is new content, I guess. The game is The Italian Job.
What’s wrong with being sexy?
Hello there. We have a new discussion review for you today. Chosen for reasons of simply trying to give something a go that we’d never bothered to look at before, rather than any attempt to be topical, we make a belated attempt to take a look at a game from the Leisure Suit Larry series. […]
Her Majesty’s loyal terrier, defender of the so-called faith
Hello! I’ve been in the mood for some shooty action for a while, and a quick look through the archives suggests it’s been a while since I tackled a first-person shooter. (It doesn’t seem like a long time to me, because I’ve reached the age where all the years blur together, but it is.) Anyway, […]
Atari ST Trivia Corner Part 3
ITV often have the same, misguided idea for new programming: copy something that’s been a success on the BBC and then pay a huge sum for the presenting talent to defect in the hope that the solid viewing figures can be seamlessly transplanted to their network. In practice, it rarely works: the show itself often […]
