While thumbing through the latest (extremely thin) issue of PC Zone magazine, their lukewarm review of the latest unremarkable racer to get a multi-format release made for fairly depressing reading: “In any other year a PC racing-lite enthusiast would be reading this review and being subjected to a list of reasons as to why the […]

Hi all. It’s a double-whammy of few-years-old shooters for you tonight – of the generation that was cutting edge when we started this site seven or so years ago. Rik has examined Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza and I’ve covered Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Well, that’s another year of retro-gaming over and done with. 2007 has actually been fairly productive for us in terms of content, and any regular readers out there might have noted that updates have been more frequent in the last 12 months. Although what we do here at FFG doesn’t really warrant any detailed analysis, […]

Well, we did it (just about) – here’s one final update for 2007. Unfortunately there wasn’t as much time for retro gaming over the holidays as we thought; however, we did manage to get in a couple of reviews in between all of the drinking and scoffing. First up, we have the spy caper Operation […]

Season’s greetings! At a time when gamers are hoping that Santa is going to bring them one of the year’s must-have titles, here at FFG we’ve decided to bring you a review of something that we can pretty much guarantee no-one will be expecting to find in their Christmas stocking – the trucking sim King […]

Good evening. One new review for you this evening – of EA horror shooter Clive Barker’s Undying. My plan was to have this review ready for a Halloween update, so it would be kind of, er, topical. Unfortunately this didn’t happen, although round my way the scares aren’t over until the shops have flogged the […]

Howdy. Is it October already? It’s getting cold, the nights are drawing in…all the more reason to not bother going outside and enjoy some classic gaming in the warm comfort of your home. You could tidy the place up a bit though – how about recycling some of those empty Dr Pepper cans instead of […]

For those of you who haven’t noticed, The Abandonware Blog is back in business. Which is clearly a good thing, I’m sure you’ll agree. So anyone who’s been missing their semi-regular dose of abandonware-related news can now head over there and get it…

Okay, so having steadfastly ignored RPGs since Dungeon Master (can’t remember much about that apart from that ‘oof, I’ve hit a wall’ noise when you, er, hit a wall), I’m currently making tentative progress through Fallout. It’s such a well-loved game I’m feeling under a bit of pressure to really love it. It’s slow going […]
