Meanwhile, over at Just Games Retro… “I never realized how many people were actually running sites like this until a few weeks ago. And if not their own sites, then talking over vid captures on YouTube, or swarming meta-review sites or Gamefaqs with their opinions. It’s a little disheartening, I suppose, that I’m not as […]

Hello, Okay, so July came and went without too much in the way of new content. No excuses, no lengthy stories of how bloody busy we are with our desperately interesting lives – let’s just say that July was a fallow month; we apologise. Only one new review tonight, but it’s a biggie. In this […]

First up – (genuine) new content is coming very soon. In the meantime… Back in the mid-eighties, the big argument among computer-owning kids was whether the Sinclair Spectrum or the Commodore 64 was ‘the best’ machine to own. Frankly, I always found this a little bit baffling – Speccy games only ever seemed to feature […]

I recently discovered that Sierra have recently re-released a number of their old adventure games in Windows-friendly ‘Classic Collection’ packs. UK gamers can now get all of the Space, Police or King’s Quest games in one handy (and legal) collection for the reasonable(ish) sum of £10. This is the kind of thing that should happen […]

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 […]

Although supposedly an avid gamesplayer, I’m pretty bad at actually getting through games. I do like buying them though – especially if they’re cheap – so that they can sit on my shelves for weeks and months while I get around to playing them. I decided to steel myself and stop reckless purchasing of budget […]

Hello, A double-whammy of celebrity(ish)-endorsed games for you today. First up, we have a review of Colin McRae Rally 2.0. I’d love to say this was timed to coincide with the imminent release of the latest in the long-running series, the frankly daft-sounding Colin McRae: DiRT, but I’d just be lying if I did. Secondly, […]

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 […]

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, […]
