B-17
Review (PC) |
February 9, 2001 |
B17:
The Mighty Eighth allows you to fly the famous B-17 Flying Fortress Bomber
that played such a large role in the bombing raids on Germany that helped cripple German
industry and demoralize the population. B17 allows you to play from any one of the
B17s crew stations, so you can play as pilot, copilot, bomber, navigator, radio man, and ball, tail, waist or or top turret
gunner. Soar this way for more... |
D-Link DMP-CD 100 Review |
The DMP-CD 100 is a Walkman-type CD player
that plays MP3s. And it works. Because its design is fairly standardit looks like
most portable CD players, but sports an attractive sea-blue caseit is easy to set up
and use. Its a reliable product that offers the amenities of the finest portable CD
playersphat bass boosters, anti-shock capabilities, a limited warrantyas well
as the ability to play and program your own MP3s. More here. |
Interact PSone Mobile Monitor Review |
By all accounts, the latest version
of Interact's Mobile Monitor for
PSone is not bad. That's the "square" version. The "oval" version,
which was the initial design, apparently has a real bad problem with color bleed, crappy
sound, and serious overheating. So what happens when you buy a defective square version,
and have that replaced with a crummy oval version? You get a review like this. Click here. |

Dreamcast Broadband Adapter Review |
Our dreams
of high-speed access to the Internet via our Dreamcasts have been answered. Mostly. The
new Dreamcast Broadband Adapter is a
snap to install, but not supported by all online titles and not really built for dynamic
IP assignation. What a bummer. Plus, it doesn't include the new browser software yet. Click here for the whole story. |

Fortress
Preview (GBA) |
February 5, 2001 |
Majesco, who recently scored us some screens of their 3D space
fighter, Iridion 3D, for Game Boy Advance, has just kicked
us down the good stuff on Fortress. Fortress, another Game Boy Advance title, is like a
cross between Tetris and Scorched Earth, and it sounds like a game with high addiction
potential. Check it out here. |

Looney Tunes Racing Review (PSX) |
Infogrames
does it again -- great Looney Tunes action makes for a great kart racer. Looney Tunes Racing is a little bit innovative and
just a whole lot well-made. Wacky weapons, events, and levels combined with over a dozen
fave
characters makes this one you should play. Get on the
line. |
America Review (PC) |
Remember
the real-time strategy glory days of 97 and 98, when you couldnt swing a
cat without hitting some Warcraft II or Total Annihilation or AoE knockoff? America is an RTS set in the American West,
and you can play campaigns as one of four peoples -- Settlers, Outlaws,
Mexicans, and Native Americans. That sounds pretty interesting, right? Saddle up and mosey thisaway pard. |

Metal Walker Review (GB) |
January 29, 2001 |
It's one of the
best RPGs we've played lately, and it's on the Game Boy. In Metal Walker, you and your robot
buddy must search for your lost father. Sure, the story isn't much to brag about, but the
way cool fighting system is. It's like marbles meets pool. If you like RPGs you must play
it. Click here. |
