Soundtracks is where we take a look back at the use of licensed music in games. Go here if you want to know more. And we’re back! Just as the last ‘proper’ instalment of this series promised that we would be, er, 18 months ago. Believe it or not, I do have a plan, of […]

Hi there. This is our fourth and final part of our look back at the pleasures, or otherwise, of driving a slow car in racing games. It takes us up to the end of the 00s or so, roughly in line with the newer games eligible for coverage at FFG. I’m sure there are plenty […]

Driving an unremarkable car is a dream that many of us are now living: if I want to drive an unmodified Honda Civic (unless you count a few dents as modifications) then I can go outside now and drive it wherever I like (but probably to either Waitrose or the tip). Often in driving or […]

That’s why my only contributions to our […]

I’m quite a big fan of racing games, but recently, I don’t honestly feel there’s been all that much to get excited about. While the likes of Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport and Project Gotham Racing are all pretty good games, there’s just something about doing laps of a circuit that I don’t find all that […]
