Actua Tennis
Saturday, February 9, 2019
The selling point in Actua Tennis is that it is featured in a 3D environment. The only problem is that none of it is very good 3D, even for its time. We are presented with adults in the stands that look like 3D stick figures due to the fact that they are as thin as […]

Triple Play 2001
Friday, February 8, 2019
Triple Play ’01 has some highs, many lows. As a general evolution with post 2000 sports game, Triple Play 2001 has its simulation aspects dumbed down to make the experience more palatable for casual fans. This doesn’t need to be bad, but the designers failed in this regard entirely, and in the end made Triple […]

Duckman
Friday, February 8, 2019
Based on the TV show by Everett Peck, Duckman the adventure game features the same rude and sleazy protagonist. He is the master of the smart-mouthed one liner, and sexual innuendo. If your sense of humour leans towards South Park styled shock humor, then Duckman should fit the bill. Duckman is a private detective, handling […]

Trains & Trucks Tycoon
Wednesday, February 6, 2019
Trains & Trucks Tycoon is a business sim that plays in the same fashion as Railway Tycoon 2 or Locomotion. The goal is to connect various industries around the map (rendered in full 3D, in this case), buy trains and trucks, set up schedules for what goods will be transported, and hopefully make enough of […]

Etherlords II
Tuesday, February 5, 2019
This fantasy card game makes the cut. Etherlords II, a fantasy game that is an odd blend between Heroes of Might and Magic and Magic: The Gathering, is set in the World of Lords, where several distinct factions go to war with each other. Each side gets their own campaign – the orc-like Chaots, the […]

Extractors
Tuesday, February 5, 2019
Extractors is a Lemmings-style action/puzzle game. While the tongue-twisting names and convoluted plot do a good job of distinguishing Extractors from other puzzle games, the problems with the interface keep it from achieving its full potential. You control each of your miners separately and select items from their inventories with a complex combination of keyboard […]

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004
Monday, February 4, 2019
Headgate Studios continues to make golf look good, or at least smart. Tiger Woods 2004 continues to build upon last year’s remarkable 2003 edition. And this year’s model isn’t just a rehash of old material; it’s good enough to warrant a complete playthrough, as it’s a better and more complete game from top to bottom. […]

NHL Eastside Hockey Manager
Monday, February 4, 2019
This game is a stat-heavy hockey team management game from start to finish. The level of statistical detail in NHL Eastside Hockey Manager is, in a word, ridiculous. Each player, from NHL stars to international players and double-A prospects, is tracked numerically in 27 different mental, physical, and technical categories, ranging from how well he […]
