I don’t know about you, but I thought the Steam summer sale was a bit of a bust this year. In a way, of course, I’m glad, because it means I wasn’t too tempted to add yet more titles to the backlog, although I’ve long since fallen off the ‘no new games in 2014’ wagon. […]

Football is our love
Hello. It’s time for the World Cup. A time when people who don’t like football get bored by the constant talk of football, and everyone else gets bored by the people who like to go on about how much they don’t like football. Anyway, in a vaguely topical update, we’ve reviewed a football game: Sensible […]
Live the life
Ahoy, mateys! A tale of adventure on the high seas be awaiting ye, if ye dare follow the treasure map (by which we mean link) to a review of Sid Meier’s Pirates!
Shoot again, player one
Hi there. Today we’re looking at an old pinball game: Pinball Fantasies. For reasons that will be explained, I also decided to go back and write a little more about its sequel, Pinball Illisions, too.
We’re talking ’bout football (soccer!)
Currently playing: FIFA 14 I’m not sure if it’s my inability to get on with the 360 pad, my sloth-like reflexes and arthritic fingers, or just the fact that I haven’t practised enough, but I’m finding the latest FIFA fairly hard going. I’ll reserve judgement on the main game for now, but in terms of […]
No, man, that’s too much
Hello there. Continuing a series which we like to call “Old racing games that Rik will write lots of words about but ultimately give either a score of 5 or 6 to” [We told you to change the name – FFG Board] we have a review of a game called Juiced.
Brake for the snake
Hi there. Some more racing action for you today – from me, with love. It’s an arcade racer from the mid-90s called Screamer.
It’s the three [expletive] stooges and you’re here for OCS
Currently playing: L.A. Noire. For various reasons I’m now on my third runthrough of the early missions without having made it that far into the game. It’s not without problems, but I definitely like it so far, although I’ll reserve final judgement for when I get to the end – I’m not sure where the […]
Don’t lean on me man, ’cause you can’t afford the ticket
Hi there. We make a belated (and non-sequential) return to the Driver series tonight, with a look at the fourth game in the series, Driver: Parallel Lines.
I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name
Hello there. Surprise, surprise, we have another review for you tonight. Yes, I know, this is unprecedented (and unlikely to be repeated). If FFG was a big rock band from the 90s with significant chart appeal (which it isn’t) then this would be like us releasing a sixth single from the album that came out […]
