Soul
Calibur II Review (Xbox) |
September
12, 2003 |
Three
years after breathing life into the Dreamcast, Namco Launches a sequel
to the legendary Soul Calibur. Is it as good as the original? Nope-it's
a whole lot better. Stunning graphics, beautiful environments, varied
gameplay and surprising depth are just a few of the reasons that make
this the best fighter on the market-no matter what system you have. Click

Brute
Force Review (DVD) |
After
months of hype, Digital Anvils Brute Force arrives on the XBox. But
is it everything it's supposed to be? Not quite. Questionable teamwork,
glaring holes in multiplayer modes, and some gameplay issues keep Brute
Force from being the game we hoped for.

Star Wars:
Knights of the Old Republic Review (Xbox) |
August 28, 2003 |
BioWare's
latest foray into the console market has been a resounding success.
There's a good reasons why Star
Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has been burning up the sales
charts this summer: It freaking rules. Play as a light side or dark side
jedi, save wookies, travel to exotic worlds and kill maneating beasts.
How much better does it get?

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

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.
