| Black
& White goes gold! (PC) |
March
16, 2001 |
 One
of the most highly anticipated games in recent history, Peter
Molyneux's Black
& White, the game where you play a god and lead your
worshippers to dominance over the world - all while raising a pet -
has gone gold. Initiating what we hope will become a glut of
"A List" game releases for the PC, we've been waiting a long
time for this. We've
got the story here. |
| Halo
Preview (Xbox) |
 The
folks from Bungie have been working on Halo,
a title that has been long talked about. Originally intended for a
PC release, the Xbox team has taken Halo and made it Xbox specific.
And it's sweet. Check out the amazing graphics, and dig those
multiplayer details. Click

| NFL
Fever 2002 Preview (Xbox) |
 What's
a launch without a football game? Apparently not much. So Microsoft
will accompany the Xbox with NFL
Fever 2002. Focusing on details, control, and lots of replay value
(you can play 25 straight seasons in the dynasty mode), big M hopes
this will be the next NFL 2K1. Check
here for a first look. |
| Fuzion
Frenzy Preview (Xbox) |
 To
round out the first party launch titles, Microsoft is giving us a
party game to end all party games. We're not quite sure how Fuzion
Frenzy is played, but it involves a futuristic urban street game
and about 45 mini-games. Play options are entirely customizable, and
it looks pretty cool. Click
here for the preview. |

| Icewind
Dale: Heart of Winter Review (PC) |
March 14, 2001 |
 If you loved
Icewind Dale, you’ll like the Heart
of Winter expansion pack. Even though some of the BG II engine’s refinements have
found their way into the game, not much of the content has, and Heart of Winter remains a
full-bore hack n’ slash dungeon crawl. Get the chilling details here. |
| Microsoft Gamestock News |
 At Gamestock
yesterday, Microsoft released a whole new wave of details about the Xbox. First off, their

Grim Fandango, and Rayman. Click here for
the developers list. Big M also told us what games to expect as first-party launch
titles. Oooh, it's so juicy. Click here for
the games list. |
| Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding Preview (Xbox) |
 This is a game with an inspired name. Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding will let you take
on over 120 runs, on real-life mountains and fantasy venues, to strive for top spot among
the pros. Become world famous, if you can. Click
here for details and pretty screens. |
| Project Gotham Preview (Xbox) |
 Move over Gran Turismo, Project Gotham is in the hizz-ouse.
Hoping to get their share of the photo-realistic racing sim, Microsoft is working on this
bad boy that will reward you for being a bad boy. Or girl. Get the details here. |
| Nightcaster Preview (Xbox) |
 The Xbox will debut with several RPGs available. Nightcaster is one of them, and
seems to be an action-RPG of sorts. It's got some snazzy graphics, and the hype sounds
good. But can the Xbox defeat the launch-RPG curse? Who knows. Click here. |
| Azurik Preview (Xbox) |
 Another
RPG/action adventure title for Xbox, Azurik
puts you in control of the title character to save a magical world from evil and
destruction. This title uses elemental magical combat to make things lively. Click here. |

title coming to the PS2 is MLS Extra Time.
Including lots of teams, amazing graphics, that ESPN television feel, and all kinds of
little bonuses, this is the official challenger to FIFA. And what's better -- it'd due out
at the end of this month. Check out the
preview. |

| 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. |
| D-Link DWL-920 Review (PC) |
 D-Link has done it again
