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 […]
A frankly poor piece on an interesting topic
[Disclaimer: I woke up in the middle of the night thinking that this would make a great piece and excitedly jotted down some notes. At some point between then and now, perhaps following an ill-advised browse of some comments sections, I lost the will to try and write anything decent, or to try and generate, […]
Guilty as a girl can be
Hello there. Completing an unprecedented burst of activity on the site (by our standards) during February, we have a review of the adventure game Guilty. Barring any more long holidays, extended periods of sickness, or unexpectedly becoming unemployed, we’ll be back to our usual rate from this point on.
This planet is going to be vapo(u)rized, intruder
Hello! Tonight we have part two of Rik’s holiday review bonanza (well, perhaps that’s overselling it slightly). Anyway, here are a few words about Tyrian. There’s some more to come, at a future date to be determined by management and shareholders.
What may I do for you, Inspector?
Hi all. I’ve been on holiday. I had a good rest, thank you – thanks for asking. Due to the wonders of modern technology I was able to indulge in some retro gaming (and writing) while I was away. So there are a few bits and pieces waiting to be tidied up and finished and […]
The bowler’s Holding, the batsman’s Willey
Hi there! Wow, two updates in a week. Well, if our discussion of hack and slash RPGs wasn’t for you, how does this review of a really old cricket game grab you? *chorus of boos* It would have arrived sooner, if the recent Ashes series hadn’t been such an unmitigated tale of woe – but […]
FFG Review of the Year: 2013
Hello everyone. With the year drawing to a close, it’s time to take a quick look back at all things FFG in 2013. In terms of content, things were pretty quiet during the early months, as the not-inconsiderable task of porting content from the old site to the new one took up the bulk of […]
In the real world, the good guys rarely win
Hi there! Hope you all had a good Christmas. Our final review for the year is Corruption, which gives the site a couple of firsts. It’s our first review of a text adventure, and also the first time my stated intention to review a text adventure wasn’t just a glib throwaway line at the end […]
The games embargo: (almost) one year on
Readers may or may not remember my vow to not buy any games in 2013. As New Year’s resolutions go, it lasted longer than most, although in the end, I didn’t quite make it. The lure of the Christmas Steam sale, and the prospect of transporting fake manure from fake Grimsby to fake Carlisle in […]
