Star
Wars Starfighter Review (PS2) |
February
23, 2001 |
After
a long string of very marginal Star Wars franchise games, LucasArts
finally hits the nail on the head with Starfighter.
You get to mix it up in cool Star Wars ships and giant space battles.
With great visuals and sweet control, this one will suck your life
away. Come to the
dark side. |
NBA
Live 2001 Review (PC) |
EA
Sports will be the only ones to take a shot at hoops for the PC this
year. NBA Live
2001 adds a little and takes away a lot from last year's
offering. Yes it's pretty and yes, it'll require a monster of a
machine to max out all the graphical goodies. Is it a brick or a
slam dunk? Fast
break here for the scoop on the hoops. |

Oni
Review (PS2) |
February 21, 2001 |
She's bad, and she's on your PS2.
Konoko, the star of Oni, is one tough cookie.
And she looks way cool. Rockstar and Bungie have brought us a lot of innovation with Oni, but also a load of headaches. It's not
perfect, but it is original and a lot of fun. Check
out the review for the whole story. |

the Sega Game Gear. Plus, they're

D-Link
DI-704 Review (PC) |
February 19, 2001 |
The most reliable
name in home network hardware offers up a phenomenal new home DSL/Cable modem gateway. The
DI-704 Home Internet Gateway is a great
piece of engineering. Firewall protection, super easy installation, and lots of
customizability, all at an affordable price, make it very much worth checking out. Click here for the review. |
SSX Review (PS2) |
Yes, we know this review is
very outdated. But in the hubub of the PS2 launch, and Xmas after that, we missed it. So
we offer a review of SSX now that surveys the
field of PS2 titles. Even after several months of availability, this game still packs a
helluva punch. Click. |

Battle
of Britain (PC) |
February 16, 2001 |
It looks good
and it plays good--if you can get it running. Rowan and Empire's Battle of Britain combines strategic play
that puts most wargames to shame with the most spectacular and compelling dogfighting
since European Air War. It's buggier than Louisiana in July and may not even run on some
systems, but at its best this could be the finest combat flight sim you can legally
purchase. |
Mega Man 64 (N64)) |
Mega Man is busy
this spring. Not only has he reappeared on the GBC, and is forthcoming on the PlayStation,
but Legends has finally been brought to the N64. Mega
Man 64 is basically a port of Mega Man Legends, and it looks like a three year old
port of a marginal PSX title. It's a bit sad. Click
here for the whole spiel. |
