Hello everyone. Last year was the 20th anniversary for this humble site, and to commemorate the occasion we were revisiting old reviews, and pairing those articles up with new reviews of related games. Such is the leisurely pace at which we create content, that one more of these pairings has spilled over into the new […]

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 […]

As Rik wrote last week, this site turned 20 sometime this year. I’ve been meaning to write more to mark this anniversary, maybe contribute to the series of double-feature reviews, but nothing much materialised. 2021 has been a bit of a blur of work, parenting and to be quite frank, depression. Sorry, that’s not very […]

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.

Hello everyone, hope you’re doing well. It’s been another year without much input from me so far, but I’ve finally gotten myself organised and made time to write a review. So today we’re looking at another platform game from shareware giants Apogee Software: Realms of Chaos.

Hello! We have another double-bill for you today. For the retrospective, there’s a look back at the original Grand Theft Auto, released in 1997 and covered here in 2004. And, just in time for news of its removal from sale, with a ‘remastered’ version apparently around the corner, we also have a review of 2003’s […]

Hi there. While acknowledging that even the vaguest notions of topicality in these parts are by now long gone, it’s only just over a month since the last Olympics finished, so we’re only a little bit late with this review. (Or, alternatively, we’re about 34 months early for the next one, however you want to […]

Hi there. It’s a twin-helping of 90s racing action for you today, all in the name of the site’s 20th anniversary. For the retrospective, we’re going back for another look at The Need for Speed, which we first reviewed here long ago. And for the new piece, we finally get around to producing a write-up […]
