[Disclaimer: I woke up in the middle of the night thinking that this would make a great piece and excitedly jotted down some notes. At some point between then and now, perhaps following an ill-advised browse of some comments sections, I lost the will to try and write anything decent, or to try and generate, […]

Hello there. Completing an unprecedented burst of activity on the site (by our standards) during February, we have a review of the adventure game Guilty. Barring any more long holidays, extended periods of sickness, or unexpectedly becoming unemployed, we’ll be back to our usual rate from this point on.

Hello! Tonight we have part two of Rik’s holiday review bonanza (well, perhaps that’s overselling it slightly). Anyway, here are a few words about Tyrian. There’s some more to come, at a future date to be determined by management and shareholders.

Hi all. I’ve been on holiday. I had a good rest, thank you – thanks for asking. Due to the wonders of modern technology I was able to indulge in some retro gaming (and writing) while I was away. So there are a few bits and pieces waiting to be tidied up and finished and […]

Hi there! Wow, two updates in a week. Well, if our discussion of hack and slash RPGs wasn’t for you, how does this review of a really old cricket game grab you? *chorus of boos* It would have arrived sooner, if the recent Ashes series hadn’t been such an unmitigated tale of woe – but […]

Hello everyone. With the year drawing to a close, it’s time to take a quick look back at all things FFG in 2013. In terms of content, things were pretty quiet during the early months, as the not-inconsiderable task of porting content from the old site to the new one took up the bulk of […]

Hi there! Hope you all had a good Christmas. Our final review for the year is Corruption, which gives the site a couple of firsts. It’s our first review of a text adventure, and also the first time my stated intention to review a text adventure wasn’t just a glib throwaway line at the end […]

Readers may or may not remember my vow to not buy any games in 2013. As New Year’s resolutions go, it lasted longer than most, although in the end, I didn’t quite make it. The lure of the Christmas Steam sale, and the prospect of transporting fake manure from fake Grimsby to fake Carlisle in […]

Hi there! Tonight we take a look at Test Drive Unlimited, a fact that makes us feel quite old, because we can actually remember writing about it as something new and exciting at various points a few years ago. Still, when you put the depressing march of time to one side, it’s good to be […]

While up staying with Jo (currently trying to do a few things before she turns a certain age) recently I had the rare opportunity to access the full suite of last-gen consoles – the “Ex-Box”, the “Pee-Ess 3” and the “Wee”. Left to my own devices for an hour or so, I decided to give […]
