X2 – Wolverine’s Revenge – Review

July 23, 2003

Better than previous attempts at bottling X-Men magic, Wolverine’s Revenge has style and nice features, but it’s dragged down by a terrible fighting system.

Unreal 2 – The Awakening – Review

July 23, 2003

Short and poorly-executed. Its apex is a poor imitation of Alien vs. Predator, its worst resembles Battlefield Earth in a foreign language without subtitles.

The Getaway – Review

July 23, 2003

One of the most expensive games produced, Sony billed The Getaway as the first complete movie-game experience. It has great technology (for a PS2 game).

Freelancer – Review

July 23, 2003

Freelancer is an entertaining spacebound dogfighting and exploration epic charged with resurrecting an endangered genre.

Dark Cloud – 2 – Review

July 23, 2003

Dark Cloud 2 combines adventure beat-’em-ups, RPG, puzzle-solving, time traveling, and sports quests into a world where surprises never end.

Undercover Brother – Review

July 23, 2003

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is essentially Austin Powers for the Blaxploitation crowd. It’s better than that Mike Meyers trilogy.

The Young Idea – Review

July 23, 2003

Leave it to Chase of Supercult to videotape his model shoots, interview them, then set the whole thing to cool, hip music, and toss in a short movie that rules.

The Transporter – Review

July 23, 2003

There is a plot, theoretically. There are also lots of excuses for ridiculously spectacular car chases, karate fights, and explosions. Lots of explosions.

July 23, 2003
