Hello. As regular readers (if they, indeed, exist) will know, when we review a game here at FFG, we make damned sure that we get straight on with reviewing the sequel. Covering a series of games in a timely fashion, and in the correct order, is our top priority, and we will not compromise that […]

Review: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Hi there. I’ve been RPG-ing (and Star-Wars-ing) again. With possibly too many references to Mass Effect and an unwitting segue into the merits or otherwise of recent Star Wars films, here’s a look at Knights of the Old Republic.
Pirates and Robots
Hi all, hope you are doing okay in these uncertain times. Today I have a couple more second opinions for you. First up we have the The Curse of Monkey Island, the third entry in the classic adventure series. Also have a read about Shogo: Mobile Armour Division, a late-90s first person shooter featuring big, […]
Moments in Gaming: How appropriate, you fight like a cow
Let’s consider a conundrum facing point and click adventure games about pirates. We might expect it to feature some sort of combat. Pirates led a fairly violent life after all. I mean “boarding ships and taking stuff” was pretty much their job description. Even if you don’t go down that route, because your pirate hero […]
The Rebels have proven surprisingly clever
Hi there. Bucking the usual trend for this site, here’s coverage of the second game in a series, arriving after the first, and in reasonably quick succession. It’s Star Wars: Rebel Assault II – The Hidden Empire.
he’s played a wide range of classic PC games… and is terrible at most of them
Due to my 2016 ban on aquiring games, I hadn’t been keeping up much on gog.com. Turns out, during my absence, they did add a some oldies of interest. Which is heartening to see; it’s great that they stock all those indie titles but for us their primary contribution to gaming will always be keeping […]
The rookie wasn’t that sharp after all
Hi there. Now that all of the CSI games have been half-heartedly evaluated (you’re welcome), we can turn our attention to more genuine retro content. So here’s a look back at the 90s Star Wars shooter that everyone with a CD drive owned, Rebel Assault.
This must be that Woodstock place Mom and Dad always talk about
A trailer is out for the forthcoming remastered version of Day of the Tentacle. So the artwork has been redone in a style that looks very similar to that of the original, just higher-resolution. Not sure if it’s been redrawn from scratch, or just put through some filters. It looks like it could be made […]
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 […]
Lucasarts on gog: wave four
A while back I was saying, all this Star Wars stuff is great but can we have more classic Lucasarts graphic adventures please? Now gog have delievered! Along with a couple of other interesting non-SW titles Loom: A personal favourite of mine. A haunting, atmospheric fantasy tale in a world of dark magic. It was […]
