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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

A great way to not get anything posted, spread myself across several games at once. Hey at least i’ve mostly given up on bastard warcraft. Planescape Torment: thought provoking, sometimes genuinely moving story-driven RPG. Great, as long as you like reading lots of text. Well-developed characters, fascinating setting. As far as D&D goes I’m far […]

So, it was indeed a publicity stunt. Gog.com will be relaunched later today, finally out of beta. At the time of writing there are a few youtube videos telling us what to expect. The site doesn’t actually look all that different, just re-organised a bit. So being cynical you have to wonder if there was […]

So I surfed over to gog.com today and was greeted with this message: Dear GOG users, We have recently had to give serious thought to whether we could really keep GOG.com the way it is. We’ve debated on it for quite some time and, unfortunately, we’ve decided that GOG.com simply cannot remain in its current […]

It’s been a little while since this announcement, but I came across it for the first time today. It seems that Britain’s oldest PC games mag, and long-time inspiration of FFG, PC Zone, is to cease publication after some 17 years. The giant publishing behemoth that is Future have decreed that there’s no point in […]

In recent months I’ve joined Abandoned Places as an updater. I’ve tried to keep a regular update schedule, and take some time to mention a bit of detail as to what’s in each update (as that’s what I would want as an AW webmaster). Unfortunately, things have gone slightly wrong with my latest update, which […]

It’s getting towards that time when everyone who doesn’t like football prepares to be extremely bored for weeks on end. As for everyone else (in this country at least) the question remains: “Can England do it this time?” Pro Evo says yes…  

So I finally made it to the magic 100. As achievements go, it’s hardly on a par with discovering the cure for…well, anything, but hey, if you can’t put a little note about reaching a milestone on your own website without feeling like you’re blowing your own trumpet rather too loudly, then you probably shouldn’t […]
