3D Lemmings

Sid Meier's Civilization IV

American McGee's Alice

Command & Conquer (EA Classics)

Blasted away by the competition.

Were this game released somewhere in 1994, it would certainly have been great. It's a natural evolution from Westwood's previous effort, the greatly remembered Dune 2, the father of all RTS games. Things as they are, ... Read Full Review

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne

A departure from RTS.

While the original Warcraft III remained true to it's RTS roots, the expansion's single player campaign doesn't. It feels more like an RPG with RTS elements than the other way around. And it feels great. It also has a lo... Read Full Review

WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos

A whole new war... craft.

Starcraft has very big shoes to fill in, but Blizzard came our with a great game that just fell a bit short of the previous game's greatness. But just a tiny little bit, at that. Following what proved to be one of Sta... Read Full Review

Far Cry

Great eye candy and convincing physics.

Far Cry is, by far, the game with the better visuals I've ever played. Fortunately, there's a good game underneath all that eye candy. The story is very interesting, as you follow the steps of a seemingly ordinary guy... Read Full Review

Age of Empires

A good Warcraft clone set in ancient history.

Age of Empires is a game where I have a very particular opinion. It's a good game, and the theme is great. No one had ever put out a game set in ancient (real) history, and Ensemble did it, with mostly good results both ... Read Full Review

King's Quest Collection

Classic pure goodness adventure gaming.

It's very hard to pin down this one, because it's really a collection of the first 7 King's Quest games. So rather than trying to write about the collection as a whole, I'll briefly review each of the games in just a sho... Read Full Review

Diablo II

The best action RPG ever.

I must say I loved the original Diablo. It was a completely new genre, defined by the best game company out there, so what was not to like? However, it's difficult (and maybe a little bit hypocrite) to say Diablo was a f... Read Full Review

Blood (1997)

Both funnier and gorier than Duke Nukem 3D

Duke was a kick-ass guy, no doubt about it. But you know what? Did you ever meet Caleb? I don't know how to classify this guy, but certainly a guy who comes back from the dead (with a creepy "I live... again" t... Read Full Review

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

One of the best action rpgs ever

I'm not the walking Marvel encyclopedia I wish I was, but the only reason I wish that is so I could get the most out of this real gem. The game plays even more easily than Raven's past excellent efforts (X-Men Legends... Read Full Review

Serious Sam II

Why play Duke Nukem 3D in 2005?

I must start saying I never really cared too much for Duke Nukem 3D. Sure, it was a funny little game, but with Quake being released a few months later, who could care for a 2D shooter? The "3D" part of the tit... Read Full Review

Starcraft

The best game in history. Period.

AFter playing Warcraft II, most players I knew back then were expecting to see another great Blizzard game. However, as the transition from Warcraft I to Warcraft II was mostly a facelift, most people expected a "Wa... Read Full Review

Black & White 2

It fixes all the problems the first had, and delivers an even greater experience

I must confess that, even if Peter Molyneaux described the first Black and White as something much more trascending than it actually was, the game was a great experience, and watching the creature mimic your godly action... Read Full Review

American McGee's Alice

A nightmarish, bizarre, outlook to Carroll's classic character

Alice is a great game that depicts a strange "reality" that Alice faces in her own subconscious mind, and as such, is filled with dreamscapes, a lot more nightmarish than pleasant, but still jaw-dropping. The s... Read Full Review
