Medal of Honor – Review

April 1, 2000

A tense, engrossing, historically and ballistically accurate first person World War II commando game destined for the top ten lists.

Wicked City – Review

April 1, 2000

Animated, hard-boiled, detective science fiction jam-packed with grotesque sexual imagery. Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi, the author of Vampire Hunter D.

Vampire Hunter D – Review

April 1, 2000

With bad translation and insipid dialog no longer dragging it down, Vampire Hunter D is still plagued by bad animation, grating characters, and a lack of style.

January 1, 2000

The majority of the 21 levels of the game are fairly short, but are well-designed, each presenting a unique set of challenges.

Quake II is no longer the cutting-edge game it once was. In fact, it’s dwarfed by the competition in the very genre that its direct ancestors created.

Beetle Adventure Racing – Review

January 1, 2000

Pound for pound, this cartridge could out-perform 90% of the currently available titles within its genre.

Coroner’s Corner – I’ve Seen This Somewhere Before – Column

September 1, 1999

Many of this year’s offerings are nicely packaged effects-enhanced rip-offs. Even Blair Witch Project copies another lesser known, more controversial film.
