Alliance 2: Unfinished Business Review (PC) |
March 2, 2001 |
 Jagged
Alliance 2: Unfinished Business is a
combat-orientated game built on the excellent turn-based engine of Jagged Alliance 2, and
though it does lack for both an integrated story line and modern graphics, it still comes
across as a gripping game with good play and an excellent sense of humor. Check
it out! |
| Knockout Kings 2001 (PS2) |
 Walking the
razors' edge between sim and arcade masterpiece, Knockout Kings 2001 is the best
boxing game we've played in a long time (take that Afro Thunder). Lots of
customization, great control, and bumpin' tunes make this one a real blast. Get into the ring. |
| Earthworm Jim Preview (GBA) |
 The Game Boy
Advance is looking like a lot of fun, and Majesco is bringing a whole slew of really cool
games to the platform. We got the latest information on Earthworm Jim, the old-school classic, soon
to be new-school fave. Check out those
screenshots! |
| Shaken, Not Stirred |
| The 'quake that
rocked Seattle hit an area that's home to a number of game companies, including Microsoft
and Nintendo of America Inc. Both are located in Redmond, which is northeast of
Seattle, and therefore a bit farther from the quake’s center. Early reports indicate
that the companies experienced some minor damage and frayed nerves, but no reports of
injuries or structural damage. See the
preliminary reports here. |

| Serious
Sam Preview (PC) |
February 28, 2001 |
 From Croatia,
land of . . . uh, Croatians, comes Serious
Sam--the most action-packed FPS since Doom. It's got no real story, but it more than
makes up for that with a stylish ancient Egyptian setting, hordes of monsters, and
gameplay fast enough to kill most middle-aged men. And at a price of merely $19.99,
it's probably the best deal you can get outside the Home Shopping Network. |
| Championship Motocross 2001 Review (PSX) |
 THQ brings us another mud-slinging, high-flying
motocross game, featuring the vehicular talents of Ricky Carmichael and his dirt bike
brethren. Championship Motocross
2001 is a decent motocross race title, but it suffers from a bad AI, which, on the
upside, makes it easy to kick ass. Click
here, you bad motor scooter. |

| 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. |
