Hi all. Not that I usually pay attention to such things anymore, but if our records are correct, then this is my 250th review on FFG. And upon which legendary title do I bestow this lofty honour? Why, a daft shareware racer from the mid-90s, of course! Here’s a review of a game called Road […]

Hello everyone. The rusty birthday train has been running a bit late, but finally makes its last stop with this look back at Indiana Jones’ 00s action-adventures. First up, a retrospective consideration of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, first released in 1999 and reviewed here in 2002 (!) … Plus a new review of […]

Hi everyone. It’s the Winter Olympics! In real life! Right now! Which is all the incentive I need to dust off some old tie-in game in search of some virtual glory. Here’s a look at Vancouver 2010.

Hello again, and welcome to our latest instalment of Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series which usually involves a moderately lively back-and-forth on the topic of a relatively modern indie title. Having covered one particular type of game pretty much exclusively so far, we’ve drawn a line under walking sims for now, capping things off […]

Inside The Big Cardboard Box is where we delve into the history of the largely defunct world of boxed PC games, with a particular emphasis on all the ones I used to own, but later gave away or sold. This series seems to have encapsulated a descent into middle age, in that where my preparation for […]

Happy New Year to you all. I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m never quite sure whether to keep doing these annual round-ups or not. The first one coincided with an extremely productive year, which seemed to be the primary justification for its existence (although looking at it now, it’s an extremely half-hearted retrospective considering the […]

Hello there! Hope you all had a good Christmas. We’re sneaking in one final review for 2021: racing around the city of Paradise in Criterion’s racer, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box. (Hey, wasn’t there a late-80s rock song that was about some kind of ‘paradise city’? It was quite a big hit, I think). Sending best […]

Hello everyone. As you may have noticed, the majority of games under consideration in our discussion series (with spoilers) have been so-called ‘walking simulators’, the arguably pejorative and dismissive term coined for first-person narrative adventures. That wasn’t necessarily always the intention, although after a certain point the prospect of catching up with a selection of […]

For some reason, November 2001 has been retained in my head as the significant month when it comes to the origins of this site: I figured while it probably was not when Stoo put the first incarnation of FFG online, it was at least roughly when my initial ramblings were published. This is, it turns […]

Hi there. Today we have a review of an old PC game. I know, I know: stop it with all the crazy new ideas. The title in question is Crusader: No Remorse.
