So I just finished Telltale’s Back to the Future game. Despite having bought it in a fit of excitement upon release, I’d only played the first episode until last Christmas, at which point I declared that the very enjoyable second episode would mean that I’d be working my way through the rest at the earliest […]

So, armed with a new computer, and with a recent Need for Speed review in the bank, I decided to check out some more recent entries in the series. Following the relative disappointment of Carbon, EA Black Box, the team responsible for NFS games since Underground (on PC at least: they also did the good […]

It may surprise some of you to learn that Rik and Stoo of the famous games site A Force for Good don’t actually live together at a place called FFG Towers, playing old games at an incredibly slow rate with the intention of posting a maximum of two reviews per month. In fact, we’re rarely […]

Recently I’ve finally found the time to play through last year’s new instalment in the Thief series. This has been something of a priority; the first two were, for me, amongst the greatest PC games ever created. The experience of lurking in the shadows in that half medieval, half industrial city, sneaking past guards and […]

Hello! Adventure games! You remember them – the point and click ones? With the blocky graphics? Well, they’re back, apparently, although evidently I wasn’t paying attention. Cheating our site rules slightly – although not really, since the original release falls within acceptable limits (don’t worry, it was agreed by the board, and shareholders) – here’s […]

It’s taken me a while to get around to it, but I recently played through the second part of the latest Broken Sword game, The Serpent’s Curse. I thought I’d share some brief thoughts [gee, thanks! – a reader]. I think I was expecting to not enjoy the second part as much as the first […]

Currently playing: My Steam Backlog Happy New Year! I hope you all had a good Christmas break. Due to a combination of factors (for my own part, a miscalculation when choosing which games to cover) we weren’t able to bring you any new content over the past couple of weeks. While work on that continues, […]

So I finished Assassin’s Creed, finishing in couple of rather brutal ten-on-one fights, a disappointingly linear final sequence and a surprisingly easy Final Boss. Still a solidly enjoyable game overall. I’ve now moved onto Assassin’s Creed 2, and so far it looks like an all-round improvement. Which is pretty much what a sequel should be […]

Lately I thought I should give Assassin’s Creed a try, since it looks like an interesting variant of sneaky-stabby gameplay, and I like to at least have a vague idea of what’s going on in the world of modern triple-A gaming. Here are just a few thoughts, which I try to keep brief as I […]

I’m a bit behind with FFG stuff at the moment after my holiday (lovely, thank you) but new content is on its way soon. In the meantime, I’ve been playing a bit of Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse on my Android tablet. I’ve only finished the first part, but if they’re going to break […]
