 More
than simply Resident Evil in Edo Japan, Onimusha:
Warlords is a great next-gen action title that incorporates a bit
more of the RPG influence than we've seen in previous zombie-slashin'
epics. Unfortunately, as with all the greatest "survival
horror" games, this one is way too short. Check
it out here. |

Championship: Tapout promises more realism, bigger tournaments,

Fallout Tactics Review (PC) |
April 11, 2001 |
 If
you love the future of past decades, you'll love Fallout Tactics' 50's
future, when social engineering had a fascist edge and didn’t bother to hide its
onwards-and-upwards ideal of self-driving cars, homogenous white suburbs, and
bubble-n-plastic skyscrapers. The game itself is an
impressive addition to the Fallout story, even though it disappoints in a few minor but
irritating ways. |
| Star Trek: Away Team Review (PC) |
 Like Fallout Tactics,
Star Trek: Away Team is a squad-based
combat game with a 3rd person top-down isometric view. It's also based upon a universe
near and dear to gamers everywhere. It's just not as good, and we're here to tell you why. |
| R.I.P. Indrema |
| It was such a
cool idea that something had to go wrong. Unfortunately, Indrema never got the chance to
botch a launch or fizzle with too few decent games. The economy got to them before the
gamers could. It looks like Indrema is closing up shop now. Click here for the news. |

Review (PSX) |
April 4, 2001 |
 Take 2 has really done it right this time. Darkstone, an action RPG similar to

the play is solid and addictive. Click
