]]> 10 Dec 2006 05:23:36 It's a game based on the Quake 3 engine, but it's totally different from Quake 3. It's a WWII themed FPS game, but it's not as realistic as say CoD. It has realistic textures, but the movements are Quake 3 style and it's also very fast paced like Quake 3. It's one of the best game out there in my opinion. The combination of a realistic theme with an unrealistic gameplay is just awesome. Try it out for yourself, you'll get hooked.

]]> 27 Nov 2006 04:18:18 Bontago is a single or multiplayer 3d real-time strategy/puzzle game. By stacking blocks each player increses their area of influence, and can build closer and closer to the goal in the middle of each level.

]]> 03 Dec 2006 10:02:40 The game is powered by the same version of the Quake III engine used in its predecessor, Jedi Outcast, containing modifications to the Quake code to give a third-person view and new lightsaber effects.(Jedi Knight II had these 3rd person effects as well). Players have the ability to construct their own lightsaber by choosing the hilt style and blade color. After completing certain objectives, new saber styles become available including the ability to wield two independent sabers.
Players take the role of Jaden Korr, a new student recently arriving at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. Jaden, along with fellow initiate Rosh Penin, becomes an apprentice to Kyle Katarn (the protagonist of Jedi Knight) at the beginning of the game. As a Jedi Apprentice, the player is dispatched to accompany Kyle on various peace-keeping missions across the galaxy, many of which involve battling an emerging Sith cult known as the Disciples of Ragnos who are stealing Force energy from Force-rich locations across the galaxy.

]]> 10 Feb 2007 07:18:14 Enter a steampunk adventure set in a London that might have been. The year is 1885. Bedlam Hospital still stands in Moorsfield, a decaying shell used to house the poor and the hopeless. Steam-driven mechanical wonders roam the streets. Gear-wheeled analytical engines spin out reams of thought onto punched paper tapes.

And in the darkness - in the alleys and the side shops - hide secrets.

]]> 11 Feb 2007 12:49:30 Triptych is a fast-paced physics based block dropping game that will keep you coming back for more. Maneuver and rotate blocks as they fall so that 3 or more of a color are adjacent to each other. By achieving this, the blocks will be destroyed and the player will collect points. As blocks are destroyed, connected blocks are freed to move independently and blocks above will fall to fill the empty spaces. Unlike other puzzle games, the game board is a living entity where the blocks obey the laws of physics. Every game is a unique experience!

]]> 29 Dec 2006 08:14:29 Nintendo and SEGA -- both accomplished masters of high-speed fun -- have collaborated to create the fastest, most visually stunning racing game ever. F-Zero GX is the race to end all races, as fearless pilots risk everything to claim the title of the top speedster in the universe.

In Grand Prix mode, you select from four cups of five races each. Each course pits you against 29 opponents in a three-lap race. Points are tallied at the end of a cup circuit to determine the winner. Vs. Battle allows two, three or four players to compete in a split-screen race on any unlocked course with any unlocked machines. Even when playing with four players, the action blazes by without a hitch.

Choose Time Attack mode to pit yourself against the best time and top speed for each course. If you save your ghost data to a Memory Card, you can race against a transparent re-enactment of your best run.

Bottom Line

F-Zero GX is the ultimate racer for speed freaks. A galaxy's worth of unlockable content provides ample replay value. Exclusively available for Nintendo GameCube, F-Zero GX is any speed demon's dream come true!

]]> 03 Feb 2007 04:27:44 Dare you face the corridors of death?

Avoid spikes, and spines and deadly cubes, while crushing all the cylinders contained in each level. When you have destroyed all the cylinders the exit will become open and you can cross the exit to the next corridor.

Score points for distance travelled, and cylinders crushed.

Watch your time, if it runs out then your game is over. More time can be acquired by pressing down the "Green Timer Disks", but beware: Once you touch them and take the prize, they will become "Red Disks of Death" and cannot be touched again.

Extra lives are awarded every 10,000 points.

The original Spectrum game contained eight corridors, who knows what challenging courses could have been built since then!

If you complete all the corridors, you will be returned to the first, but each time you loop around the level set, the time allowed will be reduced.

The top five scores are saved to disk... How high can you score? How far can you get?

]]> 03 Feb 2007 02:39:39 Danger is the name of the game in 1080 Avalanche. Huge air, massive drop-offs, deep powder, and the nastiest tricks come together in one of tightest snowboarding games available. 1080 Avalanche is a worthy successor to the Nintendo 64 version of the game, with a wide variety of play modes, challenges, and secrets to keep you on your toes (or heels, if you're turning the other way).

1080 Avalanche is teeming with challenges. In Match Race mode, your goal is to beat an opponent to the bottom of the mountain in a variety of difficulty levels. Stick tricks on the way down to increase your rider's speed and power. There are multiple routes to find on each run, so be sure to scour the landscape for grindable trees and hidden shortcuts.

One of the best things about 1080 Avalanche is the element of surprise. Huge drop-offs can easily catch you off-guard, and if you don't land just right you're toast. Rockslides, natural wildlife, dizzying drops, and sudden weather changes keep things interesting, but nothing compares to the incredible avalanche sequences which will definitely get your heart racing.

1080 Avalanche is an awesome snowboarding game. The runs are designed perfectly, and there is a wide variety of tasks to complete before you unlock everything in the game. It's been over five years since the last 1080 became the first-ever 3D snowboarding game, and 1080 Avalanche proves that it's been worth the wait!
