Tony Hawk – Pro Skater 2 – Review

April 1, 2001

There’s enough fun and variety present to make this a prized title for a very, very long time, and will suck in people not generally impressed by video games.

Tenchu 2 – Birth of the Assassins – Review

April 1, 2001

The key elements are brought to the prequel, so its a great game when you’re immersed in it, but there are flaws in the plot, presentation, and level design.

Star Trek Voyager – Elite Force – Review

April 1, 2001

Cut from the same cloth as Quake III, Elite Force is an A-list first-person shooter that allows you to explore and kill in an outstanding two-part episode.

Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption is the first title inspired by White Wolf Studio’s pen & paper role-playing game popular with the Gothic kids.

Coroner’s Corner – Kill Me And I Will Haunt Your Ass – Column

September 1, 2000

The premise of What Lies Beneath turns out to be strikingly similar to that of Stir of Echoes. In short, a presence is making itself known in order to shed light on how its earthly body was murdered.

Shogun – Total War – Review

September 1, 2000

Best described as a highly-centralized, very complex variation on Risk, Shogun has the look and feel of an exceptionally complicated and challenging board game.

Dark Reign 2 – Review

September 1, 2000

Other than the dynamic and awe-inspiring but tactically useless camera, innovation in Dark Reign 2 generally tweaks rather than invents.
