Xbox Vs. PS2 Redux |
November 15, 2001 |
 Over
a year ago we posted the original Xbox Vs. PS2 editorial, and it's been incredibly
popular. However, it's also very out of date, so we've updated with a whole new editorial,
Xbox Vs. PS2 Redux. You can check it
out here. And if your mind is already
made up, you'll need to know what to get when you pick up your Xbox. To help out, we've
got a brief Xbox Checklist that
should help out. |
| ICO Review (PS2) |
 Possibly the most beautiful
game yet for PS2 is ICO, the strange story of a
little boy with horns growing out of his head. Normally, that would be cool, except in his
culture they sacrifice little boys with horns growing out of their heads. Click here for the whole review. |

late last night playing HALO, so do me a favor and read my Notes Scribbled in the Dark While Playing HALO.
Thanks. More coverage is on it's way soon. |

cinematic, epic space war game with brilliant graphics and a wonderful storyline. Independence War II suffers from some squirrelly
controls, but otherwise offers up first rate intergalactic action. Click! |
