Reviews - New Games

• System Shock 2 - One of the more underrated games of the era, this is sort of an FPS/RPG hybrid.

• Outcast - A Star Wars game with a lot of promise that didn't quite live up to expectations.


• MiG Alley - A flight sim from the era of early jet fighters focusing on the MiG-15 and F-86 Sabre.


• Need for Speed: Road Challenge - A solid entry in the Need for Speed series.


• Jagged Alliance II - A turn based RPG/strategy game that was pretty good.

• Ultima Online Versus Everquest - A comparison of these to online RPGs.


• Castrol Honda Superbike 2000 - An OK motorcycle racing game.
  

Reviews: Budget

• Unreal - One of the classic FPS games of the time.


• Duke Nukem 3D - It's a shame that there hasn't really been a good sequel to this game.
