ESPN
X-Games Skateboarding Preview (PS2) |
March
9, 2001 |
The
X-Games will be held this August in Philadelphia. To celebrate, ESPN
has created ESPN
X-Games Skateboarding, the game they hope will break the
stranglehold THPS has on the virtual skating world. Could it be? Well,
from what we've seen it looks pretty sweet. We're digging up more info
as you read this, too, because this is one to keep an eye on. Click
here for the preview. |
Action
Man Review (GBC) |
He's
tough. And strong. And ready for, well, action. He's Action
Man, and he's on your Game Boy. This latest platformer from THQ is
actually pretty dang fun. Action Man, known for his impeccable sense
of style and incredibly peaceful form of espionage and secret-agentry,
makes us happy to play it. Click
here for the review. |

Mega
Man X5 Review (PSX) |
March 5, 2001 |
Mega is back, and we're not talking about that guy from Big
Brother. In Mega Man X5 you team up with a pal,
Zero, and work hard to defeat a bunch of bosses named after a certain classic buttrock
band. Does Mega Man still do it for us? Check the
review. |

Jagged
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 quakes 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. |

Star Online Review (DC) |
February 26, 2001 |

only offers a whole bunch of really cool play, visuals, and monsters, but you can go
online and play it with your pals. Welcome to the future. Click here. |
