Hello everyone. This site is usually a two man effort – well, I say that, it’s more like 1.5 men given how inactive I’ve been lately. Still, we do sometimes have contributions from guests. So a big thanks today to RT, who has kindly written us a review of Serious Sam 2.

British gaming fans may remember Digitiser, published on teletext from 1993 to 2003. I don’t know if other countries had anything like teletext? It was an information service broadcast over the television signal. It was also known for artwork made from very basic graphics, that looked lot like what you might see on an BBC […]

Hi there! It’s nearly Christmas [no it isn’t – FFG Reader], and everyone enjoys a good quiz at Christmas [maybe – FFG Reader], particularly if it’s a football quiz [nope, lost it again – FFG Reader], right? So in a topical, seasonal, and totally relevant update, with nothing at all to do with my bizarre […]

Hello there. Today’s game takes us – indirectly, at least – back to the earlier days of FFG, and one of the first games we ever covered. Let’s go stunt driving, it’s Crashday.

So this Gamergate business appears to be still rumbling along. Ostensibly it’s about ethics in gaming journalism, and I’m sure that’s what some followers believed. Yet the movement is heavily tainted with reactionary anti-feminist attitudes, sometimes to the extent of threats and harassment. It’s getting pretty ugly out there, and a couple of GG’s prominent […]

Whoops! Back again already. This is kind of an accidental review, as you’ll see, but new content is new content, I guess. The game is The Italian Job.

Hello there. We have a new discussion review for you today. Chosen for reasons of simply trying to give something a go that we’d never bothered to look at before, rather than any attempt to be topical, we make a belated attempt to take a look at a game from the Leisure Suit Larry series. […]

It’s been many years since we thought of 3D Realms as a company that actually made games. Their glory days were back in the late 80s to mid 90s, first releasing a bunch of platformers and scrolling shooters under their initial name Apogee. Then they created a few of the early First Person shooters, including […]

Hello! I’ve been in the mood for some shooty action for a while, and a quick look through the archives suggests it’s been a while since I tackled a first-person shooter. (It doesn’t seem like a long time to me, because I’ve reached the age where all the years blur together, but it is.) Anyway, […]

Hi there. It’s the Ryder Cup this weekend, and in a remarkable piece of forward planning, here’s a review of a golf game: Sensible Golf. One of the problems with having an idea to tie in content with real life sporting events is that real life sporting events are happening constantly – as David Mitchell […]
