| Akuji
the Heartless- 6.0/10 -- A game that seems
so damned average, its just difficult to get yourself all worked up over
it.
Irritating
Stick- 7.0/10
-- Its doubtful that
youre going to see too many Irritating Stick clones. If you do, its
time to make peace with whatever god you want to believe in, because the
end will have to come soon after.
Lunar
SSSC- 9.8/10
--
A game that is so touching, so well-written,
so true-to-roots, that I have a new favorite.
Street
Fighter Alpha 3--
8/10
-- A good port, but arcade perfect it is not.
Street
Fighter Zero 3 Import--
7/10
-- I wanted the real thing, and I feel cheated because I didn't get it.
Syphon
Filter- 9.0/10 -- Syphon Filter is not perfect,
but it IS awesome, and it deserves to be in most any Playstation collection.

| N64 |
| Castlevania 64-
7/10
-- Castlevania only manages to stay above the dreaded ranks
of the average platformer by the tip of a whip.
Mario
Party-
9/10
-- Leave it to that clever Nintendo to come up with a game
that sometimes seems specifically designed to RUIN YOUR DAMN CONTROLLERS!
Rogue
Squadron-
7/10
-- Underneath some shakiness is a pretty good game worth a
try at least. And given some time, it might even grow on you.
Turok
2: Seeds of Evil-
8/10
-- While T2 is much improved over the original, it isn't as
great of a game as I hoped.
Vigilante 8-
8/10
-- If you were a TW fan, or never played TW but like the idea
of vehicular violence, you should give this a try.
WCW
Nitro-
3/10
-- "WCW Nitro, for the N64, may be the worst game that I have
ever played."
Wrestlemania 2000-
9/10
-- "Wrestlemania 2000 is the game WWF fans have been waiting
for. Take the ease of play and fun factor of THQ's WCW games and combine
them with the WWF's attitude and you have the ultimate wrestling game. That
along with a wonderful create a wrestler feature makes WM2K a must buy for
N64 owners." |
| Dreamcast |
| Marvel
vs. Capcom- 7.1/10 -- "Marvel vs. Capcom
is rental for most gamers. You should only buy this game if you are a diehard
fan of the VS. series. "
NFL2k-
9.4/10 -- "NFL 2K is Sega's first attempt
at a football game for Dreamcast. Thanks to those wonderful folks at Visual
Concepts, NFL 2K is light years ahead of any of their Saturn titles. In fact,
its a notch of above any other football title period."
Sonic
Adventure- 8.8/10 -- "Sonic Adventure isn't
a groundbreaking title like Nights or Mario 64 but its great title that shows
what the DC can do. "
Soul
Calibur- 10/10 -- "Okay, admit it. Sword
fighting is really cool. That's why Soul Edge was such a smash hit. Well,
that, and it was a great game. So, where do you go from there? Simple - create
a sequel that makes the original look like NES Kung Fu. And that's what Soul
Calibur does - it is perhaps one of the greatest fighters ever."
Sega
Rally 2-
10/10
-- Quite possibly the finest racer ever to grace a home console,
and if it's any indication of what may lie ahead for Dreamcast owners, Sega
has a very bright future ahead of them.
Trickstyle-
9.6/10 -- "Trickstyle is a sound investment
if you like racing games or like a good challenge. It really isnt a
party game, but its an awesome addition to any Dreamcast library." |
| PC |
| Baldurs Gate-
8/10
-- This game is the best thing to come to the PC in the realm
of Role-playing games for a LONG time.
Quake 3 Arena-
8/10
-- This game is the best thing to come to the PC in the realm
of Role-playing games for a LONG time. |
| Arcade |
| Guantlet Legends-
7/10
-- Hell, if disco can rise from the dead, why can't this genre?
Gauntlet Legends just might be the game to kick it off.
Star Wars Trilogy-
8/10
-- Sega makes yet another great arcade game. Star Wars fans
will eat it up, but anyone can play it.
Street
Fighter 3: 3rd Strike-
7.5/10
-- If your an SF fan or fighting fan looking for a new fix
then 3rd Strike is your game.
Tech
Romancer-
4/10 -- Capcom
is a quality fighting game company and I'm hoping that this isn't the best
they could do with this game.
Zombie Revenge-
9/10 -- Have
any of you ever played a game that was just so incredibly good that you couldn't
help but forget about all other games? |

| Fight
Club - Fight Club is not so much an assault on the senses as an all
out war, intensely lyrical and cerebral, an acid trip tempered and focused
on the boiling rage of the incredibly shrinking modern man. -RottenZ
Pokemon: The First Movie- The best way
to sum up P:TFM is that it's an hour and a half version of the show. Sure,
parts of it are beefed up with some computer graphics, but more or less,
it's kind of like watching TV. The jokes are more or less the same, the
characters play their usual roles, etc.
Three Kings - AWESOME! I absolutely loved this
movie! Although it was a little different from what I thought it was going
to be, I really enjoyed it. I love how the first scene is shot, with the
camera over the shoulder... that was a great shot. And the grittyness resolution
made it feel like you were there. The story was pretty good too.. and Marky
Mark (Mark Walberg) did a great acting performance, as did George and heh,
Ice Cube. This is a good movie, go see it now. -RONIN |

Nine
Inch Nails - The
Fragile
10/10
-- The Fragile is well worth the wait for NIN fans.
Reznor combines the style of previous albums with new influences like classical,
symphonic and rap to create an incredibly balanced, complex, and challenging
double album. TF is an epic masterpiece and one of the greatest albums of
the 90's. -Cy
Slipknot
-
Slipknot
9/10
-- My personal choice for album of the year. Slipknot
combines alternative with hardcore, mixing screaming lyrics with soft ones.
The intense profanity of Surfacing and others is quite well used, and definitely
not for the young ones. This album is filled with great tracks, including
Surfacing, Liberate, and my personal favorite, Wait and Bleed. There really
isnt a bad song on the CD. And we cant forget the super demento
circus clown cover, which looks great in your collection. A must have for
any hardcore fan.
-Spec
Foo
Fighters- Nothing Left to
Lose
4/10
-- While the single Learn To Fly is getting old, the
best track on the record, Breakout, is new and fresh. Unfortunately, aside
from one other good track, the rest of the CD is pretty much crap. Lyrics
are repeated throughout the song, with uninteresting instrumentals accompanying
them. The best thing about this album is the Foo Fighters temporary tattoo
that comes in every case. Speaking of the case, its one of those damn
paper things that rips unless you take the best care of it. Definitely NOT
Foo Fighters crowning moment.

| Neon
Genesis Evangelion- Death and
Rebirth-
Good -- You could bypass this movie altogether
and not miss much. |
| Neon
Genesis Evangelion- End of
Evangelion-
Excellent -- But don't fear Eva fans. We
wanted a real ending, and boy, have we gotten one, in the form of the second
Eva movie. |

| Falcon Northwest Mach V-
*****
-- Blazing speed in a box. |
