Off-Road
Redneck Racing Review (PC) |
Off-Road
Redneck Racing, comes with the "Leonard N Bubba Seal of Approval."
Ostensibly related to 1997s Redneck Rampage, the potential to combine
backwoods potty-humor with over-the-top racing gameplay (think Dukes
of Hazzard meets Midtown Madness), seems chock full of
possibilities. Zoom,
zoom, zoom here. |
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Releases in November |
Word
on the street is, this Metal
Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty thing is going to be pretty hot. Although Kojima and his
team have "submerged" themselves into their secret labs to complete the
long-awaited blockbuster sequel, Konami has just released information about the MGS2
launch. Click here for the release. |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Review (GBA) |
Konami resurrects their classic franchise on the GBA, and it's super
sweet. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
is an old-fashioned side-scrolling, whip lashing, vampire killing adventure, just the way
we like it. Click here. |

July 3, 2001 |
Interplay
will unleash an insanely cool horror game for Xbox around the beginning of next year. Hunter: The Reckoning takes place in the White
Wolf universe. But it's not a slow-paced RPG. This is a multiplayer dream, with hordes and
hordes of the undead to blow away. Click here
for the gory details. |
Krazy Racers Review (GBA) |
Konami complimented the GBA launch with their very cool cart racer, Krazy Racers. Although it's living in
the shadow of MKA, due in a couple of months, this little cartridge packs plenty of good
times. To the starting line. |

Fire Pro Wrestling Review (GBA) |
June 28, 2001 |
Bam!
Entertainment brings the noise into the ring with Fire Pro Wrestling, a GBA title that rivals
in gameplay many console wrestling games. With over 150 pre-fab wrestlers and 1200 moves,
plus a create-a-wrestler mode, this one will keep you busy for awhile. Get over here! |
Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure Review (GBA) |
Majesco brings us
another SNES port with Pitfall: The Mayan
Adventure. Everything about it is pretty great, including the nice visuals and
animation, except the lack of a save feature. Click! |

Earthworm Jim Review (GBA) |
June 25, 2001 |
Majesco was kind
enough to kick us down their launch titles. Earthworm
Jim is a classic 2D sidescroller, resurrected on the GBA. For those of you hankering
for some old-fashioned EWJ action, or those who missed it the first time around, this
might be one to check out. Click here for the
review. |
Iridion 3D Review (GBA) |
Amaze your
friends and relatives with the insanely cool graphics the GBA cranks out in Iridion 3D. The look of this game is
incredible, and the boss characters are amazing. Still, it's got some pretty simple
gameplay. Click here. |
Silpheed Review (PS2) |
The fine, fine folks at
Working Designs offer up another excellent import. Silpheed is a high quality shooter, in
the classic sense of the genre, with pretty graphics and some cool little twists. And,
like all the best shooters, it is damn hard. No pansies need apply. Click! |

Rival Schools Project Justice Review (DC) |
June 20, 2001 |
Rival Schools is
back, and we are so happy about it. The cult-classic original was incredibly fun, and in Rival Schools Project Justice the
greatness has just gone 3D. It's a slow summer for fighters, but you can't go wrong with
these high school heavyweights. Click
here. |
Eighteen Wheeler: American Pro Trucker Review (DC) |
We wanted a mighty
convoy; we wanted to hit the gate doin' 88 and yelling, "Let them truckers
roll!" We got a big disappointment. Eighteen
Wheeler: American Pro Trucker proves that any idea, no matter how good, can become
utterly unfulfilling. Roll on, mama. |

Red Faction Review (PS2) |
June 19, 2001 |
THQ gives us what we
want in Red Faction. The latest
FPS for the PS2, and the first to include a really good single-player storyline, also
incorporates Geo-Mod technology for revolutionary gameplay. Viva la resistance! Click here. |
Super Mario Advance Review (GBA) |
Mario is back, at
least on the GBA. Super Mario Advance combines
Super Mario Bros. 2 with Mario Bros. Arcade, giving both games some real spiffing up and
added voices. It's even better than classic gaming. Click
here. |
Mars Matrix Review (DC) |
Capcom's latest
top-down shooter is another title bringing back classic gameplay. Mars Matrix is a phenomenally fun
shooter, and insanely difficult. Who else but Capcom would bring us a game where you have
to suffer to win? Click here for the
review. |
