Game: NASCAR Heat 2002 Platform: PS2 Studio: Infogrames Rating: 7.5/10 Look: The realistic damage on your car alone is impressive. Finally someone got it right. This is what you expect out of a racing game. When a car bumps you, your front fender shouldn’t be pushed into your engine. The cars obviously look great, from…

Game: Monopoly Tycoon Platform: PC Studio: Infogrames Rating: 9/10 If you are waiting for your run of the mile Monopoly game than Tycoon will turn you on your head. Look: The entire game is in 3D. So instead of the typical flat board you really feel like you are making a purchase. The buildings have…

Game: Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX Platform: Dreamcast Studio: Activision Rating: 7.5/10 If you liked Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and want to try doing those tricks on a bike, then Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX might be right up your half pipe.

Game: Soldier Of Fortune Platform: PC Studio: Activision Rating: 8.5/10 Gory, gruesome, nerve-wrecking, and pretty damn real are the first things that come to mind when I think of Soldiers Of Fortune. Look: Fantastic looking graphics suck you in right away. The human models are striking and make your hands sweat as you feel like…

Game: Arcanum Platform: PC Studio: Sierra Rating: 8.5/10 Arcanum is one of those games where you not only get sucked into the game play, but also the story that’s offered. Look: This might be one of the weakest aspects of this game. The game doesn’t look up to par with all the great games on…

Game: Simpson’s Wrestling Platform: Playstation Studio: Activision Rating: 2/10 Look: Break out the Atari because this game looks pathetic. Feel: Break out the band-aids because you haven’t had to pound the buttons this much since Asteroids. Hear: The voices of the characters are kind of cool, but the music is horrible. Finally: In theory, this…

Game: Smurf Racing Platform: Playstation Studio: Infogrames Rating: 4.5/10 Look: The game isn’t all about racing. When you have a racing game, the characters and cars are just as important. Here they look terrible. Feel: The control could have saved the game, but you just can’t get past the poor graphics. The controls work well,…

Game: Unreal Tournament Platform: Dreamcast Studio: Infogrames Rating: 8.5/10 Look: Amazing. The kind of game you expect every time you drop fifty bucks on a video game. Feel: The game itself is really great. It’s deep and you often get that feeling you could get overwhelmed by the experience. To me, that’s great! Hear: The…

Game: Daytona USA Platform: Sega Studio: Dreamcast Rating: 8.5/10 I have the need for speed! Look: You watch Nascar on tv, right? Well, wouldn’t you like to actually get your hands on the controls? It sure looks like you do here. Feel: The car pretty much goes around in a circle five hundred times, but…

Game: Army Men: Air Attack 2 Platform: Playstation 2 Studio: 3DO Rating: 6.5/10 You’ve got a mission. Are you ready? Look: Army Men isn’t going to blow you away with its graphics. It has a cartoon feel, and if you dig that kind of thing, you might find this fun. Feel: Flying about in a…
