Vous n’avez jamais connu aussi rapide, aussi renversant!

Hello! Just popping in with a quick review, of the 90s kart racer SuperKarts. More soon, I hope.

You have become a cult figure with the fans; they chant your name around the ground at every game

Hello there! Another review for you today, and what better way to complete a hat-trick of January reviews (groan) than with a football game? Some time ago I had a look at a mid-00s version of Football Manager. But what ever became of Championship Manager? Here’s a look at the 2006 edition. As Stoo mentioned last time, […]

In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future

Hello everyone, today we have a rare review from myself. A little while back I wrote about lesser-known first-person shooters of the 90s; so here’s an obscure title from the following decade: Warhammer 40000: Fire Warrior. Also if you’ve not read it already: last week Rik and I discussed the 2006 adventure game Dreamfall: The […]

They say that every story has a beginning and an end, but sometimes the two are one and the same.

Hello all. Several years ago I wrote about the adventure game The Longest Journey. Today, in the latest of our series of discussion reviews, we look at the sequel, Dreamfall. The mid 2000s were a quiet period in the history of adventures, and many thought the traditional point and click-based approach was dead, so this […]

I fight for the users

Hi there. Hope you all had a good Christmas. Now, as we all know, Disney have recently brought us a new and much-awaited entry to a beloved sci-fi franchise. Unfortunately, I’m not sure any games based on Star Wars were ever released, so here’s a review of Tron 2.0.  

Move move move (The Red Tribe)

Hi everyone. Sometimes I just get the urge to play a really old football game. Most of them are quite bad, really, but there you go. Today’s review is of Manchester United Europe.

You kill a few men before a jury gives you permission to, and they fire you

Good evening. October seems to be a fairly productive month for us at FFG. No, not because it’s Halloween. (You know, that really isn’t such a big deal over here). Anyway, it’s been a little while, but we’ve got one of our discussion review features for you tonight. The game is Outlaws. Yee-haw! *fires guns […]

The fastest game on Earth

Hi everyone. I seem to be on a bit of a roll with these futuristic racers. Here’s another one for you: a game called Ballistics, from 2001. Thank goodness for Stoo and his Duke Nukem retrospective! Next time: something completely different.

I’m Back

Hello everyone. A lot of my retro gaming time lately has been eaten up by a vast, sprawling 90s cRPG (I’ll leave you to speculate on which one), the sort of one that could take months yet to finish. I could cut it short but kinda feel like I want the full, beardy, dicerolling experience. […]

Damn, damn und blast

Hello. Another day, another review, another future hover racer thing (but, you know, from the past). It’s Slipstream 5000.
