Hello everyone. A lot of my retro gaming time lately has been eaten up by a vast, sprawling 90s cRPG (I’ll leave you to speculate on which one), the sort of one that could take months yet to finish. I could cut it short but kinda feel like I want the full, beardy, dicerolling experience. […]

Hello. Another day, another review, another future hover racer thing (but, you know, from the past). It’s Slipstream 5000.

Hi there. There’s been a lot written about this game recently, probably because the PlayStation is 20 this year (in Europe, at least). I can assure you, though, that the timing of this review is completely coincidental. (Oh! To be able to plan such things so meticulously…) The PC version, as we shall see, loses […]

Hello there. It’s been a little bit quiet around here recently. Sorry about that. But at some point in the summer I did manage to play, and write about, an old game. So here it is: Screamer 4×4.

Hello there. We return to the Need for Speed series for today’s review, of the 2006 instalment, Need for Speed: Carbon.

Well, it took us long enough, but we finally got around to taking a look at Doom. On a site as low-key as this one, it’s probably over-stating a case to call anything ‘much-requested’ or ‘long-awaited’, but in the context of FFG history, a very old request and a number of half-hearted murmerings in the […]

Hello there. It’s the final day of the Premiership season, the kind of day that makes you think, “who’d be a football manager?” (Or more specifically, Steve Bruce, poor fella.) Thanks to the world of gaming, though, you can actually be a football manager in your spare time, if you so desire. Here’s the 2006 […]

Hello! We were doing ok recently, weren’t we? Taking a look at a respected classic platformer here, recommending a new(ish) adventure game there, and trying to bring you the kind of quality content that loyal readers like you demand and deserve. So what do we have for you this time around? Er, a game called […]

Hello everyone. It’s time once again for our semi-regular feature, the discussion review! The process we use for choosing games is not formally defined. Sometimes it’s about playing a genre one or both of us is unfamiliar with, or just wouldn’t have normally considered – like the time I made Rik sit through a JPRG, […]

Hello! Adventure games! You remember them – the point and click ones? With the blocky graphics? Well, they’re back, apparently, although evidently I wasn’t paying attention. Cheating our site rules slightly – although not really, since the original release falls within acceptable limits (don’t worry, it was agreed by the board, and shareholders) – here’s […]
