Hi there. Nice to be back with you again. Sorry it’s been a while. Today’s game is Mafia, a 1930s organised crime caper from Illusion Softworks.

Review: UEFA Euro 96 England
Hi there. Depending on how generous you want to be, we’re either a week or a month late with this one. If you’re English, the post-Euros hangover will be over by now, at least. Personally, I made my headache slightly worse by returning to Actua Soccer and playing its first sequel: Euro 96. And, don’t […]
Review: Daikatana
Hello! Right… how to make this update vaguely topical…? As you know, we’ve just had an election here in the UK. [Leans into microphone] I tell you what, I’ve not seen such a unanimously negative verdict since Daikatana was released! Will that do? Does that, er, you know, work? Hello?
Review: Tomb Raider: Legend
Hi there. Today’s game is our first Tomb Raider review. (Not a review of the first Tomb Raider, though: that would be far too logical). Here’s a look at Tomb Raider: Legend, from Crystal Dynamics.
Technical difficulties
Hi all. Just a quick note to say we’re aware of some strange issues with our menu pages on the desktop site. The reviews themselves appear to be unaffected, but something seems to have gone wrong with the genre categories. And it all seems to be ok on mobile at the moment. Anyway, we’re looking […]
Return of the Mike
Some good news: Alpha Protocol is back, after a few years in digital purgatory, thanks to GOG. While I’ve spent a good chunk of the last few years catching up with Bioware RPGs of a certain vintage, Alpha Protocol was probably the game that kicked that whole process off. (It’s somehow very on-brand for me […]
Review: Microprose Soccer
Hi there. It’s been a little while since we brought you a review of an old game, so here’s an EGA football title from the late 1980s: Microprose Soccer. I’m duty-bound to also remind you that like all old footy titles we discuss here, this one goes into the FFG Football League, which now has […]
FFG Review of the Year: 2023
Hello there and welcome along to our semi-regular look back at the year just gone, wherein we discuss how committed we are to this feature (traditionally not very, but now approaching it with renewed vigour), apologise for how late it may or may not be (quite late this time, sorry), consider whether we met our […]
Review: Metal Gear Solid
Hi all. Apologies for the short period of radio silence. Today we’re back, though, with what – if our calculations are correct (which they may well not be) – will be our 400th review. As such, we figured that we’d better go for a vaguely notable title rather than some long-forgotten cricket game. So here’s […]
Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Hi there. With the DIY (mostly) finished, it’s time to get back on track with a review of some sort. How about some thoughts on a mid-00s golf game, featuring Tiger Woods? No? Well, it’s all we’ve got for now, I’m afraid. So here comes a review of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 anyway, whether […]
