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 […]
Upgrade Complete
Hi all. As mentioned a while back, we’ve been tinkering with the layout of some of the pages here. I don’t want to raise anyone’s expectations too high – yep, you’re still looking at a rather basic wordpress layout. However we hope that your experience reading this site will be improved just a little. First […]
Under Construction
Hi all, we’re currently making some improvements to the site, particularly the menu and review pages. Until then some pages might look messy with broken formatting. Should be finished within a week. (Narrator: they were not finished within a week). (ok I’m back from vacation now, will resume work asap).
Review: Dune
Hi there. We’re making a rare venture into the strategy section for today’s review, as we take a trip to Arrakis to mine spice and defeat the Harkonnen, in Cryo’s Dune.
Review: Hocus Pocus
Hi all, hope you are well. I’m back with another review, this time just a quick look at another 90s shareware platform game, Hocus Pocus.
