half bad. For the rest, you probably better just click

Star Wars: Battle for Naboo (PC) |
April 25, 2001 |
 Star
Wars games just aren’t living up to their full potential nowadays. Where’s the next Tie Fighter or Jedi Knight? Sure, games like Rogue Squadron and Episode 1: Racer were entertaining for a bit, but they lacked
the pure excitement of the Star Wars movies. LucasArts,
the publishers of all things Star Wars, is still milking the franchise for all it’s
worth and hopefully Star Wars: Star Fighter
will please the throngs of wanna-be Jedi. Meanwhile,
Star Wars: Battle
for Naboo just ain’t cutting it. |

Zone of the Enders Review (PS2) |
April 20, 2001 |
 Raise your
hand if you love big robots. OK, now that we've got a consensus, let's just say that Zone of the Enders kicks some shiny metal ass. With
a fun, arcade feel, and amazing graphics (not to mention a MGS2 playable demo), this one
is a blast. Report for duty, robot nut.

| Unreal Tournament Review (DC) |
 The outer
space fragfest, Unreal Tournament, has migrated
to the Dreamcast, and guess what: It rules! We're sure that's not shocking news. Still,
we've had a lot of fun, between the dozens of arenas and the 8 player multiplayer. Lock and load, Fanboy.

| The RPG Experience: Conventions and Not Beyond |
Ever notice how most RPGs are the same story with different
graphics? Ever been sick of that? Our man, Jeff, sure is. In his critical essay dealing
with the conventions of the RPG narrative, The RPG Experience: Conventions and Not Beyond,
he outlines just what we've come to expect, and makes a plea for
something new. Click here. |

Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns Review (PC) |
April 18, 2001 |
 We're going through another one of those periodic real-time strategy gluts,
and here at GamesFirst! we take seriously our charge to separate the fruit from the chaff
for you, our beloved audience. Bottom line: even if you don't like quick-twitch RTS's, you
might want to give a Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns
a look. It's a truly original RTS that places a real emphasis on strategy and planning
while never letting those nasty details get in way of immersive gameplay.

Call of Cthulu Preview (PC) |
April 16, 2001 |
 Tentacles
and monsters and a convoluted mythology -- that's what HP Lovecraft was all about. Of
course, in these fast paste times, that's a readymade plot for a survival horror game. But
wait! Not only does Call of Cthulu
embrace Lovecraftian plots, but this bad boy is designed for PC. Take that RE fans! Click here.

| Xbox Roundup Updated! |
 Last
fall we set up an Xbox Roundup page.

flying out of Microsoft offices. We've updated the page, again, to give you the most
current details about the system. Check it
out here.
