Have Fable’s Tables Turned? Posted: 12:00:00 AM Since the first electronic RPG, role playing games have been giving gamers more and more choices on how the character acts. Do you run and tell the wife about her philandering husband or do you keep your mouth shut and earn yourself a pretty penny? Fable was supposed to offer one of the most choice-filled gaming experiences to date. Unfortunately it did not quite live up to all the hype. The expansion, Fable: The Lost Chapters was supposed to expand even further the choices the gamers were able to make. Was the expansion enough to change hype to hip? Read on...

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.

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. When I saw a new Crimson Skies coming out for the Xbox, I couldn't contain my excitement. Now that I have my copy, I am one very happy wannabe air pirate. 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...
And you thought your trip to college was exciting... Posted: 12:00:00 AM To anyone that has played an Adventure game before, Runaway: A Road Adventure should feel pretty familiar. The point and click interface, along with the dozens upon dozens of puzzles with obtuse solutions shouldn’t be new to anyone. Despite this, Pendulo Studios has managed to bring us a game that is worth trying out. 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 I am a sucker for WWII based video games. Fortunately for me, this game has so little to do with WWII that I wouldn't get suckered into giving Big City Games dime. And you shouldn't either. Read on...

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...
Finaly, a good turn-based strategy game is on the horizon. Posted: 12:00:00 AM Tabletop strategy games are back! And Matrix Games is providing the means through Massive Assault. At times, feeling like a futuristic game of Risk, Massive Assault is has a lot of potential.

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.

Look Mom, No Hands! Posted: 12:00:00 AM While playing Chariots of War I was reminded of my many hours of playing 5-8 player RISK with a bunch of friends. No real politicking, only the simplest of trading, and all out chaotic war. Read on...

Aye, ye scurvy dogs! ‘Tis Pirates of the Caribbean! Posted: 12:00:00 AM Normally I despise movie-based games. The plot’s usually the same. Character choice is limited in the extreme. Worst of all...

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...
