I love Paris, in the fall

Hello. Our series of retrospective discussions continues, as Stoo, Jo and myself take a look back at Broken Sword. We hope you’re enjoying these, and hope to do more, but watch out for some brand-new reviews in the near future.

The linesman has raised his…flag

Good evening. Tonight, as part of our 10-year anniversary-thing, we continue our look back over some of our favourite games, and reviews, of the past. This time, Stoo and I talk about Puma World Football. Hope you enjoy it – there’s more to come.

Looking back

As you may or may not know, FFG is now 10 years old. Given that we’ve unexpectedly managed to make it to this fairly significant milestone, it seems only right that we try and mark it in some way. We’ve got several things planned. Exactly how many of these things will come to fruition depends […]

Happy birthday, to me

Hi there. Did you know that we’re 10 years old this year? Well, we are. No, don’t you worry about a present. We’ve got a few things planned. The first thing we’re going to try, though, is a series of discussions of some of our previously-reviewed games on the site, starting with 4D Sports: Driving […]

And I get on my knees and pray

Hi there! It’s been a while, but we’ve got a new review for you this evening. Check out CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder. We’re going to work on something special now. Maybe not for next time, but over the coming weeks and months, there should be some good stuff coming. Stay tuned.

Evidence, back on the case I’m hyped up

Good evening. Double update tonight. First, Stoo takes a look at 90s console RPG Shining Force – which recently arrived on PC via Steam. [Archive note: this later moved to JGR] Our second review is of something a bit more recent – the TV tie-in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Dark Motives. Hope you enjoy them. […]

I’m no superman

Hi there! We have one new review for you tonight. Our friend and sometime contributor Jo (of blog fame) has written a review of Bullfrog’s strategy caper Theme Hospital. Thanks Jo! Now all we need is for the other FFG staff to get off their asses and produce some content. Which we, er, will do […]

Rik vs RPGs #3: Choices, choices

It’s a crucial question for an RPG: what type of character are you going to be? Although the choice in Alpha Protocol may be a little narrower than in your more traditional beardy-type affair – you have to be a spy of some sort – there’s still the usual dilemma about where to spend your […]

…and a happy new year

Hello there. Finally, we have our first content of 2011. I’ll bet you were on the edge of your seat. Well, fret no more, we have a new review! And, in honour of the England cricket team finally managing to win in Australia and bring home the Ashes, we have another cricket game for you. […]

FFG Review of the Year: 2010

Well, that’s another year (almost) done and dusted. For once I’m not frantically trying to get one last review in before we get into January, so the very least I could do is staple together some half-hearted reminiscences from the previous twelve months, for anyone that might be interested. Don’t worry – they’re FFG-specific, rather […]
