Majestic Review (PC) |
September 9, 2001 |
 EA is running up a great record this year for innovation in gaming. Black and White would have filled the quota
for most publishers, but EA brings us Majestic,
an online, episodic conspiracy game that gets all up in your business. We love it so much
that we've published the picture to the right, which could get us killed. Check it out. |
| EA Sports Football 2002 Review (PS2) |
 Another
football season, another great year for EA Sports! As luck would have it, we’ve an
opportunity to cover both the college game and the NFL with NCAA Football 2002 and Madden 2002. It’s a great time to be a
football fan--get the pig skinny here. |

Soldier of Fortune Review (DC) |
September 5, 2001 |
 Crave gives us one of the
last FPS titles for the Dreamcast. Soldier of
Fortune is a port of the PC hit, which features, prominently, lots and lots of gore.
It also features strategic, mercenary, military action, but we like the gore. Click here for lots of blood and guts. |

City Crisis Review (PS2) |
September 3, 2001 |
 Take Two brings us a game with a bit of a different focus. Rather than
blowing stuff up, you're saving people from fires caused by other folks blowing stuff up. City Crisis puts you in charge of a
rescue chopper, helping the cops, and generally playing the "other" side of
videogame archetypes. Check it out. |
| Motocross Mania Review (PSX) |
 It
feels like I say this too often, but some of Take Two's Got Game! series (the cheap games)
are pretty fun to play. Motocross Mania,
however, is not. If dirt bikes are your thing, stick to MX2002. Hope you don't find this in your Xmas
stocking. Click here. |

August 30, 2001 |
 The National

mentally ill in Sony's Twisted Metal Black and
Mattel's series and toys based on Max
Payne. What's all the hubub? Check
it here. |
| Sega and Synovial Partner |
 Sega and
Synovial have teamed up to bring Sega's games to wireless handheld devices. That means

Max Payne Review (PC) |
August 20, 2001 |
 Max Payne is a story-driven third-person
action game with Film Noir themes that follow a lone man's gritty descent to the violent
night of New York City, from graffiti-scarred alleys and cockroach crawling hotel rooms to
sleek and sexy skyscraper heights; the wail of police sirens are constant and a restless
echo stirs in the darkness. Get the lowdown
here. |
