Hi there. Today’s review is of the action-packed racer Split/Second: Velocity. Will there be anything more before Christmas? Oh-ho, will there? Will there now?! WILL THERE EVER! [But will there actually be any more reviews or blog posts, though? – a reader] Er, not sure. If not, we’ll be sure to pop back anyway, and […]

Hello and welcome to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series that I could describe further, but probably needs very little effort to work out. [It’s not our fault you’ve boxed yourself in with these introductions – FFG reader]. Today’s game is A Short Hike, released by Adam Robinson-Yu in 2019, which is a narrative/open-world exploration […]

Moments in Gaming is where we look back on gaming experiences that have left a particularly strong impression on us over the years: mainly for good reasons, but sometimes for bad ones.

Today’s game is Orwell (also sometimes known as Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You, perhaps to distinguish it from its sequel), a game by Osmotic Studies and released in 2016. Your task is […]

Hi there. It’s probably worth noting that there’s nothing sinister or deliberate in the timing of this review, although whether this is the right weekend for a trip back to a fictionalised version of the medieval Crusades will be a matter of personal taste. Anyway, for no particular reason other than the fact we fancied […]

Moments in Gaming is where we look back on gaming experiences that have left a particularly strong impression on us over the years: mainly for good reasons, but sometimes for bad ones. As it’s Star Wars Day (Fourth of May be with you!) we figured it was time for a couple of moments from LucasArts […]

Hi all! It’s been a while, but I have a new review for you. Today we’re looking at the action-RPG from Runic Games, Torchlight. More reviews soon. Maybe. Hopefully.
