Three new reviews for you this evening, and they’re linked by a theme of automotive mayhem… First up, we have Carmageddon, which caused quite a stir when it was first released – probably something to do with all the blood. The other major controversy in game-land during 1997 was Grand Theft Auto. We’ve already covered […]

Hurrican!
Unofficial Turrican remake Old-skool 2D shooters aren’t something we write about much; the PC wasn’t well-regarded as a platform for such things, and to be honest I don’t think we’d have a lot to say about most of them anyway.

Time is like a river. No, a sea. Or possibly an onion?
Hello all. Recently I completed Price of Persia: The Sands of Time. And it’s a rather fantastic game – breathtaking acrobatics, a misty-mythical Arabian-nights feel, and a good story too. I actually gave a damn about what happened to the Prince and Farah – and it’s all too rare that a game evokes such a […]

Secondly, […]
Test Drive Unlimited
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 […]
Generic welcome!
Hello everybody, and welcome to our newest feature, the FFG journal. Some time ago now, in a bid to broaden the scope of the site beyond that of a sporadically-updated review site, we decided to include other general articles about gaming. Unfortunately, as regular visitors to the site (if there are any) will have noticed, […]
