Beyond the Cardboard Box is a series which follows up an earlier effort looking at games packaging and budget ranges in the 90s and 00s. The aim here is to cover anything of interest that might not have cropped up previously, and offer a few stray observations about the steady decline of the physical boxed […]

Hi there and welcome along to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series that I’m rapidly running out of different ways to describe. Today’s game is Orwell (also sometimes known as Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You, perhaps to distinguish it from its sequel), a game by Osmotic Studies and released in 2016. Your task is […]

Hi there. It’s probably worth noting that there’s nothing sinister or deliberate in the timing of this review, although whether this is the right weekend for a trip back to a fictionalised version of the medieval Crusades will be a matter of personal taste. Anyway, for no particular reason other than the fact we fancied […]

Moments in Gaming is where we look back on gaming experiences that have left a particularly strong impression on us over the years: mainly for good reasons, but sometimes for bad ones. As it’s Star Wars Day (Fourth of May be with you!) we figured it was time for a couple of moments from LucasArts […]

Hi all! It’s been a while, but I have a new review for you. Today we’re looking at the action-RPG from Runic Games, Torchlight. More reviews soon. Maybe. Hopefully.

Hi there. Hope all’s well with you. Today’s game is Vin Diesel’s Wheelman™: A Wheelman™ Game (starring Vin Diesel).

Today’s game is Emily Is Away <3 – the third Emily game by Kyle Seeley, released in 2021. We’ve covered the previous two already, and […]

Hello there. Today’s game is relatively recent by our standards, but is also no longer commercially available and from a developer that is now defunct. All of which is a shame, because it’s an absolute corker. (I could make a joke here about always preferring Oasis or Pulp, which I sort of am doing anyway, […]

Hello. It’s that time of year where we traditionally do a half-hearted round-up of the stuff we’ve covered on FFG. I’m going to eschew the usual small talk about what kind of a year it’s been out in the real world, other than to acknowledge that things are tough for many and to send you […]

Happy New Year to you all. As we get to the end of the year and the inevitable question of whether to do a reluctant-sounding round-up of 2022 on FFG (spoiler: we will) I figured it might be worth trying something a little different as well. I do quite like our semi-official policy of mainly […]
