Auto
Modellista Review (PS2) |
April 26,
2003 |
 Capcom's
radical visual take on auto racing has generated a lot of buzz for
Auto
Modellista. There is no doubt the game looks stunning, but what's
under the hood? It turns out some 60 licensed vehicles, online
multiplayer, and even a funky VJ mode for all you hipsters out there.

Clock
Tower 3 Review (PS2) |
 The
survival horror genre has been a bit quiet lately, but our old buddies
at Capcom hope to remedy that situation promptly.
Clock Tower 3 places you in the
role of a little girl who must help restless souls find peace and fight
off six maniacal serial killers all by herself with only a bow and
arrows. How much scarier does it get?

X-Files:
Resist or Serve Preview (PS2 & Xbox) |
 That
gorgeous mug at right can only mean one thing: another X-Files game.
X-Files:
Resist or Serve should be a worthy adaptation, mainly because
veteran developer Black Ops is taking the title in what sounds like the
perfect direction: a third-person action narrative focusing on spooking
the alien mind control oil right out of you.

Postal 2 Review (PC) |
April 11,
2003 |
 Independent
game developer, Running With Scissors, has finally delivered the sequel
to their highly controversial shooter.
Postal 2 sports spiffy
graphics and enough off-color jokes to satisfy a whole room of 14 year
olds. But is there more to this game than gags and guts?

Winning
Eleven 6 International Review (PS2) |
 Konami
has brought their worldwide soccer hit to the US, and fans of the futbol
should be very happy. Winning Eleven
6 sports great graphics and intense gameplay that is sure to satisfy

US, so show support for this one.

Capcom
vs. SNK 2 EO Review (Xbox) |
 Xbox
fans arguably get the best version of
Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO.
Not only does the old-school Xbox controller XXL sport the best button
setup for fighting games of all the default system controllers, but this
version of the game supports online multiplayer. Thing you can hang with
the elite Japanese fighters? We doubt it.

Breath of
Fire: Dragon Quarter Review (PS2) |
 Capcom's
other latest offering is a revolutionary take on their established
Breath of Fire series. Breath
of Fire: Dragon Quarter does two things very differently: First, it
incorporates a way-cool cel shaded look. Second, the game structure and
replay system are unlike anything we've seen in console RPGs.

Trainz:
Ultimate Collection Review (PC) |
 Australian
developer, Auran, and popular sim/strategy publisher, Strategy First,
have teamed up to put out
Trainz: Ultimate Collection. Don't let that "z" fool you -- the only
extreme aspect of this game is the insane depth, complexity, and
attention to detail present in this ultimate train simulator. Railroad
fans get thee to the videogame store.

Freelancer Review (PC) |
March 23,
2003 |
 Microsoft's
latest space epic is called
Freelancer, and
it's a ton of fun. Featuring a gigantic universe for you to explore,
this game puts you in the role of a freelance trader and mercenary.
Flying through the stars blowing stuff up has rarely been this much fun.
Plus, it looks real pretty.

Devil May
Cry 2 Review (PS2) |
 Capcom's
wunderkind, Dante, is back, and this time around everything is even
cooler to look at, more outrageous, and, well, a lot like what you'd
imagine. Devil May Cry 2 is a
good game, but it doesn't pack the same wow factor as the original.

Rise of
Nations Preview (PC) |
 Our
man Todd is so stoked about
Rise of Nations
that he had to rewrite his whole preview after spending some quality
time with another pre-release build. This time around the game is much
more finished and we've really gotten a taste of what will make Rise of
Nations a great title.
