If you follow gaming news at all you’ve probably already heard this: the headquarters of Maxis has been shut down by their corporate overlords at EA. Some satellite studios remain but it’s unsure what that means for the future of Maxis. It’s a sad moment particularly for those of us who have been gaming on […]

Hello there. You’ve probably noticed that we’re in the early stages of the 2015 Cricket World Cup. [Cricket has a World Cup? – a reader] Ahem. Well, anyway, in case you’re in the mood for a cricket game, we have one here – Brian Lara International Cricket 2007.

Hi there. Tonight we have the second – and probably final – instalment of our ‘games that might be a bit like 4D Sports: Driving but a lot newer’ review series [catchy! – a reader]. I’ve been meaning to cover Trackmania for a while on FFG, but when I finally came around to it, I […]

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 […]
