Hello there and welcome along to our semi-regular look back at the year just gone, wherein we discuss how committed we are to this feature (traditionally not very, but now approaching it with renewed vigour), apologise for how late it may or may not be (quite late this time, sorry), consider whether we met our […]

Bloody Hell! It’s 2024! (Apologies for not wishing you all a good Christmas, as promised – the site went down for a little bit, then we obviously got distracted by the festive preparations.) Anyway, we’re back with what might be considered the third part of a trilogy entitled ‘racing games released about 12 years ago […]

Hi there. Today’s review is of the action-packed racer Split/Second: Velocity. Will there be anything more before Christmas? Oh-ho, will there? Will there now?! WILL THERE EVER! [But will there actually be any more reviews or blog posts, though? – a reader] Er, not sure. If not, we’ll be sure to pop back anyway, and […]

Good morning. It’s the Cricket World Cup at the moment, a tournament which began with England attempting to retain the trophy as holders. In preparing this review, I was planning to write something about how they’re actually quite good these days, and contrast that with the embarrassments of the past. But, no, they’re out already. […]

Hello and welcome to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series that I could describe further, but probably needs very little effort to work out. [It’s not our fault you’ve boxed yourself in with these introductions – FFG reader]. Today’s game is A Short Hike, released by Adam Robinson-Yu in 2019, which is a narrative/open-world exploration […]

Mods and source ports haven’t, historically, really been my kind of thing (“clever people doing clever things with FPS games or RPGs that were probably fine to begin with” being my completely uninformed and dismissive summary) but my interest was piqued by news of Wipeout: Phantom Edition, a new source port of the old PSX […]

Hi all. Apologies for the short period of radio silence. Today we’re back, though, with what – if our calculations are correct (which they may well not be) – will be our 400th review. As such, we figured that we’d better go for a vaguely notable title rather than some long-forgotten cricket game. So here’s […]

Hi there. With the DIY (mostly) finished, it’s time to get back on track with a review of some sort. How about some thoughts on a mid-00s golf game, featuring Tiger Woods? No? Well, it’s all we’ve got for now, I’m afraid. So here comes a review of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 anyway, whether […]

Moments in Gaming is where we look back on gaming experiences that have left a particularly strong impression on us over the years: mainly for good reasons, but sometimes for bad ones. Boss battles aren’t the strongest part of Blur, Bizarre’s brilliant combat racer. Not only are too many of these ‘expert’ opponents easily dispatched, their […]

In a move not entirely in keeping with the minimal public profile cultivated and maintained by this website over the course of the last twenty years, eschewing all media interest in favour of focusing all our energies on keeping our seven readers happy, we recently received – and accepted – a very kind invitation to […]
