I’ve written before about how I came to associate FIFA with Christmas, and following a recent clearout my parents reunited me with my old copy of FIFA 2000, which I think was maybe the last version I received as a present (the following year, I’d discover Pro Evolution Soccer). While browsing the excellent (but completely […]

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 […]

Hi there! You may have noticed that there’s a major international sporting event taking place at the moment. [Yes – the Commonwealth Games – FFG Reader]. Of course, it’s the World Cup of Football! Who will win? It’s so exciting! With a review that’s as up-to-date and relevant as this mysteriously reduced-to-clear limited-edition bottle of […]

Good day. As the festival of football continues in Brazil, we bring you coverage of a game that’s as terrible as England’s performances: Actua Soccer.

Hello. It’s time for the World Cup. A time when people who don’t like football get bored by the constant talk of football, and everyone else gets bored by the people who like to go on about how much they don’t like football. Anyway, in a vaguely topical update, we’ve reviewed a football game: Sensible […]

Currently playing: FIFA 14 I’m not sure if it’s my inability to get on with the 360 pad, my sloth-like reflexes and arthritic fingers, or just the fact that I haven’t practised enough, but I’m finding the latest FIFA fairly hard going. I’ll reserve judgement on the main game for now, but in terms of […]

There’s always a new one coming out. The promise of something different is exciting. If you enjoyed last year’s effort, then perhaps the new one will be even better. If you didn’t, then perhaps they’ve fixed all of the terrible problems it had. You can’t trust the demo. One match on standard difficulty is never […]

Hello. In response to a couple of requests, I’ve added some more music from Puma World Football ’98 to the site. To be honest, none of the tracks are that noteworthy, and are certainly without the significant comedy value of the mighty PES 2008 soundtrack, but clearly, they’re of interest to someone. You can find […]

Good evening. Fans of football: hey, isn’t it great that the new season has started? Non-fans of football: isn’t it ridiculous that the football season has started again? It’s August, ferchrissakes. Anyway, as we’re talking about football, here’s a review of a computer game that features lots of it: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.

Hi there. Don’t mind the mess – do come in. Yes, we have actually got a review for you this evening. It’s been written for a little while and was supposed to coincide with one of the big football finals that have all…happened already. Still, I guess the great thing about football is there’s always […]
