Not an update as such, but I’ve spent a bit of time updating my brief histories. The racing one’s been done for a little while now, and the football and adventure histories have now been brought up to speed. There are new screenshots, games that we’ve covered are now linked to the review pages, and […]

The fake sound of progress
Well, I finally got around to getting a new PC. As regular visitors to FFG may know, I’ve been making do with an old AMD Duron 900 for the past six years or so, and despite several makeshift upgrades, there comes a point when you have to accept that brand new technology is the only […]
London calling to the imitation zone
Wow, it’s a double-whammy of updates. I guess if we’d have been better organised we could have rolled it into one, but hey, it’s sort of more exciting this way. Anyway, we have one new review for you this evening, and the game in question is the cheerfully chaotic city-based racer Midtown Madness 2.
Review: No One Lives Forever
No, you’re not dreaming, we have another update for you – the spy-shooter No One Lives Forever. Once again, apologies for the lack of content recently. It’s a relief to finally knock that newspost which makes reference to ‘January blues’ off the bottom of the page. For shame! Fingers crossed, we should be looking good […]
Maintain radio silence
So no new content since the beginning of March. That’s pretty rubbish to be honest. In mitigation, we’ve both had (completely unrelated) housing issues to sort out. I was due to move house on 29th March but the new place wasn’t ready in time and we’d already packed up most of our stuff and blah […]
Rik vs PG
At the end of last week, my friend and flat-mate PG packed up his stuff and moved to New York. Well, he didn’t actually pack it; his company paid for some burly men to come round and do it for him – a testament indeed to the impressive portfolio of skills from which the American […]
Review: Simon the Sorcerer II, Carmageddon II
Two new reviews for you today. Sometime contributor Jo has been adventuring away again, and she’s come up with a review of Simon the Sorcerer II: The Lion, The Wizard and the Wardrobe. Go on, give it a read. Meanwhile, I’ve taken a look at Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now.
Review: Space Quest I
Good evening. Just one new review in this update – of Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter. Yep, finally got around to dusting off those collection CDs I bought a while ago. This might just herald the start of a period where we cover nothing but Sierra adventures. I doubt it, though.
Grand Theft Scratchy
My missus very kindly bought me a Nintendo DS for Christmas. It was an awesome present, especially as it was a total surprise and wasn’t the result of months of laboured hinting. One of the games that came along with it was The Simpsons Game. It had some mixed reviews but it’s actually a pretty […]
Review: The Longest Journey, Hostile Waters
We’re well into 2008, and with the January blues blurring into a more general malaise, and all thoughts of self-improvement having long been abandoned, what better way to spend your free time than by shutting out the outside world and enjoying a few hours of gaming goodness? We’ve again covered a couple of more recent […]
