Caveat emptor

Sorry...I meant a 'vomitous masterpiece'. There simply was not an option for the entire phrase I wanted to use. I didn't really buy it, I borrowed it because the last movie tie in I BOUGHT was Spider-Man 2, which was a l... Read Full Review

Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

I can't decide whether I love it or hate it.

Full disclosure - I haven't owned a console since Bill Clinton had brown hair so you could hardly call me a connoisseur of arcade style games. However, I do enjoy a good racer and it is nice to have an enjoyable alternat... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto IV

Technical issues on PC make this one frustrating.

GTA IV is as much fun to play as its predecessors (with the exception of the loathsome San Andreas, but that's an opinion for another time), and looks great on PC as long as you have a top of the line video card. But... Read Full Review

The Sims 2: Nightlife

Here EA - take more of my money. I wasn't using it anyway.

I did not review The Sims 2 originally; it dawned on me that I could do more of a public service for people by waiting for some of the expansions to come out and then addressing the game as a whole. I'm a big fan of ... Read Full Review

Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss (3.5" Disk)

The Elder Scrolls of its Time.

If you read the other fawning reviews of this game that have been posted you know there's not a lot I can add to what's already been said. If you enjoyed Deus Ex or System Shock you can trace the pedigree those games sha... Read Full Review

Wing Commander

Incomparable

I first saw Wing Commander at a friend's house in 1990, and found myself transfixed by the game, as it was like nothing I'd ever seen before - and I've seen it few times since. Space combat sims are a spotty affair, ... Read Full Review

Unreal Tournament III

Faster Pussycat, KILL KILL

I will be excoriated in some circles for this but I have never, ever played any other iteration of UT, so many of the complaints I've heard about this version are somewhat lost on me. Having not seen the previous version... Read Full Review

Serious Sam II

Great for kids, anyone over 12 may be bored.

I will admit at the outset that I have never played the original Serious Sam - part 2 I obtained with the purchase of an Geforce 5600 card a while back and I found it to be amusing at times with quality graphics and fast... Read Full Review

MechWarrior 4

Like a Harley or a Jeep, you either get it or you don't.

The original Mechwarrior was the game that prompted me to make the move from consoles to PC gaming back in 1989 and I haven't looked back since. The Mechwarrior series has been through several iterations that have both p... Read Full Review

Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares

This game nearly destroyed my life!

I never played the original MOO, so when I was introduced to this game I had few expectations. My experience with strategy games at the time had been limited to the Civilization franchise and games like it. Sci Fi themed... Read Full Review

Lemmings

The original version of PC crack.

Here's the best way to describe Lemmings: If you're a stereotypical PC gamer you probably enjoy blood and guts FPS action or the high brow satisfaction you get from beating a RTS game like Starcraft. So imagine such a... Read Full Review

Jill of the Jungle

This game takes me back!

I never set out to write reviews for this site since so many others will record their own thoughts both useful and not so useful - where my insignificant ramblings might fit never occurred to me. However, I am in the... Read Full Review
