Reviews - New Games

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

Civilization II: Test of Time - The second game in this classic strategy series.

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.
Triple Play Baseball 2000 - A pretty decent baseball sim.

Austin Powers Operation: Trivia - A fairly boring Austin Powers themed trivia game.

Norm Koger's Operational Art of War, Volume 3 - A hard core strategy game that lets you recreate historical and hypothetical conflicts from ~1960 to ~2000.

Thrust Twist N' Turn - A futuristic racing game from Take 2 Interactive.

Shattered Light - An RPG that leaves a lot to be desired.

Amerzone The Explorers Legacy - An adventure game along the lines of Riven.

PGA Championship Golf - If you like golf games, then this is a good one.

Traitors Gate - A spy themed adventure game similar in game play to Myst but not as good.

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.

Lords of Magic - A pretty good fantasy themed strategy/RPG.

Pro Pilot 98 - A detailed and highly realistic flight sim that ends up being a little boring.
