Def Jam: Icon

Fighting it out with all these crazy, slouching dudes with star wars bounty hunter names like E-40 and TI...

Def jam: Icon is fun. It’s got a simple, smooth and responsive control. When combined with its methodical pace, it makes for a very tactical game of attack and counter attack. It reminds me of Powerstone, all its counter... Read Full Review

Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday

Welcome to the 25th Century!

Welcome to the 25th Century! It is the year 2456. Humanity has spread across the terraformed planets and satellites of the solar system. Colonies drift through the upper regions of the Jupiter gas clouds and cities... Read Full Review

The Count

Scott Adams is the recognized master of computer adventures.

By Bruce Campbell from The Space Gamer #45 (November 1981) Scott Adams is the recognized master of computer adventures. Currently ten programs in his adventure series are on the market; THE COUNT is adventure number f... Read Full Review

Conflict 2500

The berserkers are coming. They move invisibly, and each enemy ship is tough indeed.

By Jon Mishcon from The Space Gamer #45 (November 1981) The berserkers are coming. They move invisibly, and each enemy ship is tough indeed. Your gallant band of warships, supported by a network of planetary and free ... Read Full Review

Starship Troopers

definitely a Triple-B title, it delivers a potent Serious Sam like game experience, minus the cartoonish characters

I'm a fan of hard hitting, violent, science fiction adventure, and few movies delivered that like Starship Troopers. I always thought Total Recall, Robocop and Starship Troopers all took place in the same universe. Direc... Read Full Review

Battlefield Vietnam

Sometimes just blasting the Kinks after owning some teenager can’t be helped.

I've probably spent more time with Battlefield 1942 than virtually any other game in the last five years. Its combination of depth, tactics, team work, kitchen sink design ethos all held my attention well past faves like... Read Full Review

Joint Operations: Escalation

delicate long ranged ambush combat

I'm about as big a joint operations fan as you can get. Joint Ops boils down for me, when it’s at its best, to a 150 person MP games at sub 100 ping free fire zone. Amazing diversity in combat AND non-combat roles. S... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Republic Commando

I'm sort of trailing the squad as they're on seek and destroy orders, patching holes in the squads firing arcs

Right up front I should say I wasn't a fan of either the Xbox or PC Republic Commando demos. In hindsight I know why, but it made me all the more surprised when I ended up really enjoying the full game (on PC). Turns out... Read Full Review

Project: Snowblind

This is a Deus Ex game down to the air duct grates behind the staircase, and it's a good thing. <br />

Don't let the lack of branding fool you. This is a Deus Ex game down to the air duct grates behind the staircase, and it's a good thing. The much hyped emphasis on combat is there, but since I played the original PC ... Read Full Review

Gun

the horses and stage coaches are bigtime inspirational.

So far very enjoyable. The horses are amazing and in my opinion a little bit of a revelation. They're for all intents and purposes vehicles, in this case a very warthog-like driving single seat "turret" vehicle. The ... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault

Winter Assault tells a great war story with larger than life heroes and breathtaking science fiction carnage.

I just finished both campaigns in winter assault and am very impressed. I tend not to enjoy the long rts mission where you've got serial objectives on the same map. Nevertheless Winter Assault really tells a great war st... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Battlefront II

Up front innovations are remorselessly unbalanced hero “classes” that are unlocked based on mission completion

I should admit I’m a bit of a Clone Wars geek. And sadly, that’s totally compatible with not especially enjoying the new trilogy. For some bizarre reason Lucas decided to essentially skip the actual Clone Wars in his mov... Read Full Review

Battlefield 2142

some very...let's say...Do Lung bridge (from Apocalypse now) moments.

Battlefield 2142 at first really doesn't impress. It looks like BF2, artillery strike is now sharpied out and replaced with orbital strike, there are 4 classes instead of BF2's 7, and I now have to unlock **** that I use... Read Full Review

Gigantic Drive

Pretty f'ing dope. They let you stomp around in these gigantic robots, knocking the living hell out of each other, in quasi-living cities. Driving your kid around to spec out the best view of the action (and thus control... Read Full Review
