Spirits and Spells is Kid Tested, Mother Approved, and Father Frustrated! Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Ever since the original Super Mario franchise, I’ve watched games geared towards children and adults fall short of being completely successful. Too much violence forces many titles to be thrown off the appropriate for children list for me. Too simplistic or too short causes the adult score to diminish drastically. Spirits and Spells for Nintendo GameCube attempts to satisfy all ages.  Read on...

Can New Hope Be Found For the Adventure Genre With Black Mirror? Posted: 12:00:00 AM
I want to hate this game. It moves slowly, the visuals are not anything to write home about, the protagonist is something of a pansy and to top it off, it is an Adventure game! Yet, I find myself coming back for more, digging a little deeper into the mysteries surrounding the plot of Black Mirror. A rather special and unique game in the market's narrow adventure genre, Black Mirror is worth a look.  Read on...

Can UFO: Aftermath Live Up To X-COM? Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Once upon a time (1993 to be exact) a daring development team with Microprose released a wonderful game which was soon to be hailed as one of the best turn-based strategy games ever created. Over the years there have been a few sequels. While none of them gained the amount of praise that the original did, they were adequate enough to have been descendants of X-COM: UFO Defense. What, might you ask, is the newest incarnation of X-COM: UFO Defense? Altar Interactive’s UFO: Aftermath.  Read on...

Crimson Skies is back! And it rocks! Posted: 12:00:00 AM
I was so disappointed by Crimson Skies for the PC. It was this incredible game that had no equal, but it would crash my PC every 10 minutes.

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is something every self-respecting flight fan should get their hands on.  Read on...
Reinventing Strategy With Airborne Assault Posted: 12:00:00 AM
A lot of World War II games seem to be coming out of the woodwork these days. First person shooters, tactical squad based, and especially strategic wargames have flooded store shelves. This is all well and good, but is there really room in the video gaming market for all these WWII games? Is there room in the market for even one more WWII strategy game? Matrix Games and Tri Synergy take a chance on an extremely well thought out game called Airborne Assault: Highway to the Reich.  Read on...

I'd Rather Play Starwars Monopoly Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Board games are meant to be played in the real world with your family, friends, some snacks, and a few things to talk about. Board games are NOT meant to be played on a computer (because then they wouldn’t be board games then would they?)! Yet developers remain determined to bring their games to the virtual card table and War! Age Of Imperialism is another example of why they shouldn’t even try.  Read on...

Vikings, Vikings, Everywhere And Not A Drop Of Mead! Posted: 12:00:00 AM
I’ve enjoyed RTS games since I played Warcraft for the first time. There’s just something about being able to control your peons and your military on such a personal level. Watching them hack at trees for needed wood or at each other for honor and glory. Northland’s this kind of game, except with a new twist here and there.  Read on...
Air Raid: This is NOT a Game. Posted: 12:00:00 AM

Puzzles, Oh My God, The Puzzles! Posted: 12:00:00 AM
I remember my father getting his first CD-ROM enabled computer. He was so excited he went out and bought his first CD-ROM game; Myst. He spent a good five or so hours trying to figure out the few beginning puzzles before asking me for help. Ever since that point I’ve loved Myst, it’s descendants, and many games which have tried to encompass the complexity, puzzle solving, and depth of story which Myst brought to the world of gaming. Rhem for PC and Mac succeeds at two of the three.  Read on...

Charlie's Angels? Now THAT's Gettin' Your Ass Kicked! Posted: 12:00:00 AM
This game is absolutely amazing. I’ve not seen graphics or gameplay like this since Super Nintendo, and even then they had the limitations of the console to blame. With a stupid storyline, extremely linear gameplay, idiotically limited moves, sound effects that make you want to shove sharp objects in your ears, and only a limited decent soundtrack (from the movies), Charlie’s Angels for GameCube is a pathetically humourless excuse for a modern video game.  Read on...

Disciples 2 Gives Heroes of Might and Magic a Run For Its Money Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Being a huge fan of the Might and Magic series' including Heroes of Might and Magic I was initially reserved to thinking Disciples 2 would be a simple Heroes clone.

All the Fun and Difficulty of Flight Without the Cost! Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Since my family's first PC, my father has always been a fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator. While growing up, I would spend hours watching him plan and fly routes on the computer and also sit next to him when he flew REAL planes. I'd always comment on differences between the simulated flights and the actual flights. Those times have changed for two reasons. First I've moved out of the house and created a home of my own and second because the differences aren't quite so obvious any more.  Read on...

You’d think a year is a long time to “freshen up” a game, however that is not always the case. In Fever 2003, some improvements were made from what we saw in 2002 but a lot of those improvements are very superficial. Fever 2003 does have a significant advantage over 2002: Online play!  Read on...

Have Dragon, Will Travel. Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Even after Warren had done a nice preview for it after E3, I was pretty dubious about doing a review for Drakan. The demo never worked on my system - just bounced to a black screen and then to my desktop. But nothing else was out that really interested me, except Everquest, gloriously addictive Everquest...oh how I love you...Uh, but I digress. So I agreed to have it mailed to me. At the least, I wanted something to test my new G400MAX's bump mapping. After receiving the game and firing it up, I was pleasantly surprised.  Read on...

Look at you hacker, a pathetic creature of meat and bone... Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Everyone remembers Wolfenstein 3D, and Doom. What most people don't remember is a game that had better control, better graphics options and gasp, dare I say it, a story! Not some slapped on affair, but a real plot with subplots and a logical progression. Sure, the masses are only interested in finding the gold key so they can get the next big gun to kill the next boss to get to the next level. But, for a few of us, that got tired after 2 such games. System Shock was the answer to our question, "How about an FPS that has some depth?"  Read on...

May the best team win. Posted: 12:00:00 AM
Half-Life is more of an obsession than a game.Has straight DM got you down? Do people flee the server when you join? Find yourself debating the pros and cons of the Gluon gun vs. an MP5 with anyone who will listen? Beaten single player backwards and forward? When you run through the halls at the start, do the scientists refer to you by your real life name? Does the suit and tie guy at the end of the game bow and grovel before you? If you answered yes to any of these, you're either disturbed, an egomaniac or in need of help. But on the off chance you answered yes and were true about it, you may be ready for some Teamfortress Classic.  Read on...

If you missed this one the first time around, now is your chance to get in on a real man's real time strategy game.

Age of Empires is one of the all-time classic strategy games in my book. Can you make it all that much better with an expansion pack?
