Midnight
Club 2 Review (PC) |
August 26, 2003 |
 Rockstar
has busted it out on all platforms, and
Midnight Club 2
is satisfying gamers all over the world now. After stellar console
releases, the PC version of the game is just as good, if not even
prettier on high end systems. Anyone who enjoys racing needs to check
this out. Click

Indiana
Jones and the Emperor's Tomb Review (PS2) |
 Good
old Indy is back at it, this time on the PS2.
Indiana Jones and
the Emperor's Tomb is a great action title for fans of the Indiana
Jones mythology, but not necessarily as great for fans of innovative,
invigorating action games. Too bad.

Simpsons
Road Rage Review (GBA) |
 The
Simpsons' famous Crazy Taxi ripoff comes to the GBA, but
Simpsons Road Rage
is not as good as we hoped for. Sure, the action is all there, but
without the witty dialogue and sweet graphics, this one loses some of
its appeal. Read the
whole review here. |

Drome
Racers Review (GBA) |
 What
can we say about
Drome Racers? It's a racing game. And it's apparently set in a bleak
world of flatly rendered polygons -- spooky! This racer is technically
not bad, but it lacks the personality to make it one of our faves.

Buffy the
Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King Review (GBA) |
 Our
favorite teeny-bopper vampire hunter is back for more in handheld form.
Unfortunately,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King won't erase your
bad memories of the original Buffy GBC title. The graphics are better,
but this title is still thoroughly at-par.

MS Flight
Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight Review (PC) |
August 12, 2003 |
 Our
man Thomas, the only reviewer we have whose airstrip is actually
featured in Microsoft's Flight Sim series, takes
MS Flight Simulator 2004:
A Century of Flight out for a spin. The verdict: We don't want to
spill the beans, but this one should satiate all those flight sim
fanatics looking for a little something new.

Evil
Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick Review (PS2, Xbox) |
 The
last Evil Dead game was truly horrific, although not in the ways it
should have been. Fortunately,
Evil Dead: A Fistful
of Boomstick does a much better job, but it's still far from
perfect. When will Deadites and non-Deadites get a game that is equally
enjoyable, no matter how much you love Bruce Campbell and his cute
little dimples? Click

Jet Grind
Radio Review (GBA) |
 Take
the DC version of Jet Grind Radio, shrink it down, clip the soundtrack a
bit, and snip the graf editor, and you've got yourself Jet
Grind Radio for the GBA. It's impressive how well the game holds
together in the handheld format.

Planetside Review (PC) |
 Sony
Online Entertainment looks to build a great sci-fi MMORPG with
Planetside. This
epic game features tactical squad-based action, loads of vehicles,
amazingly cool weapons and items, and one of the best soundtracks we've
heard. But that's not all.

RTX Red
Rock Review (PS2) |
 LucasArts
scores once again in the story and cinema department with
RTX Red Rock.
This satire of sci-fi space action games is definitely entertaining, and
RTX features various gadgetry, robots, and cool multiple vision modes to
make your sci-fi hero dreams come true.

Eve Online
(PC) |
July 20, 2003 |
 Simon
and Schuster's epic space simulator is a phenomenal achievement.
Eve Online provides
such a large scope of possibility that this is one MMORPG that might
just come too close to recreating a living world. We love those
immersive environments, but what happens when immersivity is paired with
sometimes very tedious realism?

Painkiller Preview (PC) |
 Dreamcatcher
Interactive has what just might be their first full-fledged hit on their
hands. Painkiller
is still early in development, but so far the super pretty visuals and
visceral gameplay have won it some notice. Now all they and developer
People Can Fly have to do is land this baby in an appropriate manner.
Exciting. Click

Resident
Evil: Dead Aim Review (PS2) |
 Capcom's
Gun Survivor series gets a shot in the arm with the latest release,
Resident Evil: Dead
Aim. The blend of on-rails shooter and third-person action works
well and exposes new possibilities for the series. Plus, it's enjoyable
with a mouse and controller setup, making it playable even without a
light gun. Click here

Mega Man
Battle Network White Review (GBA) |
 Mega
Man returns to your GBA in
Mega Man Battle
Network White. This is one half of a pair of titles that offer more
of the Battle Network card collecting and net surfing action you've come
to love (or not).

Mega Man
Network Transmission Review (GC) |
 Capcom
doses us again with the Mega Man goodness, and we wish we loved it more.
Mega Man Network
Transmission returns to its 2D roots to commemorate the 15th
anniversary of our little blue hero, but a variety of things keep this
from being our retro hit of the summer.
