    Chessmaster 10th Edition 3

    Fantastic 4 2

    This game is based on the 2005 movie Fantastic 4. A computer game being based on a movie license will instantly put off most jaded gamers who have any sort of long term memory, and that surely applies here as well. The basic premise is that of an action-based beat em up, with characters walking […]

    Singles 2: Triple Trouble 2.5

    The Sims, but with none of the charm. As a cheapo knockoff of The Sims, the core gameplay found in Singles 2: Triple Trouble is the story mode, where you get to experience the sitcom lives of 20-something nobodies Josh and Anna. Josh is Anna’s ex-boyfriend who has just moved in the same household with […]

    Streets of Simcity 2

    The llama bows its head shame. Mapping 2D cities from SimCity 2000 into 3D space has been done once before in the Maxis game SimCopter, but never had there been a car combat gimmick wrapped around the idea. But despite what is implied, Streets of SimCity is not Interstate ’76 set in the land of […]

    American Civil War: Gettysburg 3.5

    TalonSoft is no stranger when it comes to American civil war titles. They crafted a series of games under the Battlegrounds title, but their approach was overwhelmingly geared towards tabletop gameplay (with stats and details galore) that had none of the touches found in more mainstream 3D strategy titles. American Civil War: Gettysburg, which takes […]

    F1 Championship 2000 3.5

    It’s easy to confuse Formula One racing simulations because they look and play in a similar fashion. There’s UbiSoft’s Monaco Grand Prix 2, Psygnosis’ Formula 1, EA Sports’ F1 2000, Sierra’s Grand Prix Legends, Eidos’ F1 World Grand Prix and then also EA’s F1 Championship 2000. It’s a sequel to F1 2000, and it introduces […]

    Lords of the Realm II: Siege Pack 3

    Sierra’s Lords of the Realm II hit store shelves, was accepted by gamers as a solid but not outstanding title, then quietly faded, as do the vast majority of games. The main gripe that one can levy against LOTS II: Siege Pack is that it was never really called for considering the mediocre success of […]
