Reviews - New Games

System Shock 2 - One of the more underrated games of the era, this is sort of an FPS/RPG hybrid.

Outcast - A Star Wars game with a lot of promise that didn't quite live up to expectations.

MiG Alley - A flight sim from the era of early jet fighters focusing on the MiG-15 and F-86 Sabre.

Need for Speed: Road Challenge - A solid entry in the Need for Speed series.

Jagged Alliance II - A turn based RPG/strategy game that was pretty good.

Heavy Gear 2 - A pretty decent mech combat game.

F-22 Lightning 3 - A flight sim featuring the F-22.

Ultima Online Versus Everquest - A comparison of these to online RPGs.

Castrol Honda Superbike 2000 - An OK motorcycle racing game.

Reviews: Budget

Unreal - One of the classic FPS games of the time.

Duke Nukem 3D - It's a shame that there hasn't really been a good sequel to this game.

Frogger - An updated version of the classic.

Glover - A 3D platform game featuring a glove as the protagonist.
