You’ll need to know your Magpies from your Canaries

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 […]

Another place, another time

Hello there. Today’s game takes us – indirectly, at least – back to the earlier days of FFG, and one of the first games we ever covered. Let’s go stunt driving, it’s Crashday.

Get a bloomin’ move on

Whoops! Back again already. This is kind of an accidental review, as you’ll see, but new content is new content, I guess. The game is The Italian Job.

What’s wrong with being sexy?

Hello there. We have a new discussion review for you today. Chosen for reasons of simply trying to give something a go that we’d never bothered to look at before, rather than any attempt to be topical, we make a belated attempt to take a look at a game from the Leisure Suit Larry series. […]

Her Majesty’s loyal terrier, defender of the so-called faith

Hello! I’ve been in the mood for some shooty action for a while, and a quick look through the archives suggests it’s been a while since I tackled a first-person shooter. (It doesn’t seem like a long time to me, because I’ve reached the age where all the years blur together, but it is.) Anyway, […]

The sport is literally going on forever

Hi there. It’s the Ryder Cup this weekend, and in a remarkable piece of forward planning, here’s a review of a golf game: Sensible Golf. One of the problems with having an idea to tie in content with real life sporting events is that real life sporting events are happening constantly – as David Mitchell […]

Touch My Tissue IV: “Did I show you my tissue?”

Hello there. From boldly going where no-one has gone before, I’m back on more familiar territory today, with the fourth game in the Broken Sword series: The Angel of Death.

Captains log stardate 39395: The away team sucks. They’re all fired.

Hello everyone. We’re quite fond of our discussion pieces; they prompt us to try games we might not have otherwise noticed, they let us bounce ideas off each other and they also remind us is an amusing manner that we’re frequently actually pretty bad at videogames. Even though we spend a lot of time playing […]

Come and be a part of football

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 […]

Ten out of ten for power…lucky to get one for accuracy

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.
