No, I’m not having another eBay clearout. But something’s got to give. Another year has passed and the cupboard under the stairs is still overflowing with unplayed games. And yet, I still buy more: a trip to CeX at lunchtime here, an idle browse of eBay there…and don’t even get me started on the digital […]

Happy New Year! As it’s the season for continuing unwelcome traditions, here’s my annual roundup of the year in FFG-land. [Yay! – a reader]. Overall, we managed a reasonably steady stream of content across the year, roughly on a par with what we’ve produced in previous years (with the exception of the magical, industrious 2007, […]

Hi there! There’s been rather more rushing around and feeling below-par than I might have liked over the past couple of weeks, but anyway, here’s the now-traditional, in under-the-wire, 31 December review: FIFA 07. Season’s greetings to all our visitors and readers. A 2012 round-up is coming soon, along with some more content, as soon […]

Hi there. It’s been a little while – sorry about that. Our review for tonight is The Movies. The length of time it’s taken to get here is probably why you don’t see me in the strategy section all that often. We’re working on…stuff. There may be more soon.

Hello there. Our new review for tonight is Quarantine. In a change to our scheduled programming, it’s not the discussion review we’d planned, but I decided it was worth writing up my own thoughts anyway. We’ll have more content, just as soon as we’re able to bring it to you.

Earlier this week the sad news emerged that programmer Mike Singleton had died, aged 61, after losing his battle with cancer. Lords of Midnight was a little before my time, but I do have many fond memories of playing Midwinter on the Atari ST. As with many of my earlier gaming experiences, much of the […]

Hello there. I can’t remember the last time we had a midweek update. Although the review was actually done and posted on Sunday; it’s just taken me this long to add all the screenies and get around to doing the newspost. [This isn’t a DVD, and this isn’t interesting ‘behind the scenes’ stuff – a […]

Hi there! In a slightly surprising move, I’ve reviewed an RPG, called Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It’s a relatively recent title, falling into the category of “budget releases from recent years” rather than being a genuine oldie, but we’ve always included such things anyway. Hope you enjoy it. Next time: Zork.

It went pretty well last time, so I thought I’d try again. Unfortunately, having ruthlessly picked out another pile of items for sale, I suddenly went all soft-hearted and changed my mind about some of them. So this second list is shorter: Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare – I hated the early games, […]

A long, long, time ago on FFG we used to have a feature called The Cupboard of Shame. The phrase was a euphemism for the place we put the games that, for one reason or another, we wished we’d never bought in the first place. It didn’t mean those games were necessarily all that bad, […]
