Hi there. With characteristically poor timing, we have an Olympic-themed update for you. Here’s a review of The Games: Summer Edition from Epyx. And, er, enjoy the closing ceremony (unless, as is likely, it’s happened already by the time you read this).

Online multiplayer remains relatively unexplored territory for FFG. In recent months we’ve been making attempts to rectify the situation, albeit with very little success. Several hours, for example, were spent tinkering with network and router settings in the hope of getting Rise of the Triad deathmatch to work on DOSBox (which it did, eventually, but […]

Hi there! This was going to be another football review, to tie in with the end of Euro 2012, but…well, that’s long gone now, isn’t it. Can we pass it off as an Olympics tie-in, instead? No? Well, we’re going to try: [Clears throat] To tie-in with the London Olympics, we’ve reviewed a football game! […]

Hello! I’ve recently returned from a somewhat-deserved holiday, which was A Good Thing for all kinds of reasons. Without the drudgery of everyday life turning your brain into mush, a few days’ rest can see you gather together whatever scraps of creative thought remain up there and begin to regain the ability to form ideas […]

Hi there! With all the excitement of Euro 2012, and on the eve of England beating/losing to Italy, we thought it might be time to add another football review to our archives. So, finally, we have a game from the most famous football series of them all – the original FIFA International Soccer.

Might be a few more discussions yet, hopefully looking at a range of types of game. If you’d rather read a “proper” review then don’t worry, those will remain the main feature. The […]

It’s funny when a game from yesteryear pops into your head for seemingly no reason. Well, I say no reason, but actually there was one: I was reading about a game called New Star Soccer, the point of which is to guide a single player from his humble roots as a 16 year-old trainee to […]

Hello there. Well, well, what do we have here? After years and years of having precisely zero coverage of the series, here’s our second King’s Quest review in as many months. Just like London buses…(rest of joke deleted) Jo’s the reviewer this time around, as she takes a look at King’s Quest VII: The Princeless […]

Hello. It’s fair to say this latest review was rather more hard work than I’d anticipated – just goes to show that picking something that looks like it might provide simple, straightforward fun doesn’t always pay off. Anyway, enough waffle. Here’s the review of the game in question: Power Drive.

We had quite a bit of fun last year with our series of discussion reviews, looking back at games we’d previously covered over the years. Ideally we’d have liked to have done one or two more, but these things take time, and ultimately we considered that going back and re-playing games we’d already covered, and […]
