Unreal
Tournament 2004 Demo is Awesome
Well Atari, Digital Extremes, and Epic Games redeemed themselves with this demo.
I totally ignored Unreal Tournament 2003 I just hated the game play, the
characters looked like refrigerators, it played slow, and they wounded me by
taking out, of all things, the
Assault mode!
The 2004 version has Halo-like vehicles even down to the third person view.
They play and control better than Halo. There's some new weapons, I still don't think
they fixed the rocket launcher. Overall I'm looking forward to this one, looks
like they
went back to the roots of the original and improved it. There's also a new map
mode called Onslaught which involves building and controlling certain points on
the map. There's turrets, flying ships, tanks, scout vehicles. Yes, the Assault
mode is back!! Expect it around the 17th of March. Get it at FilePlanet.

Need for
Speed: Underground Demo
I'm a big fan of the Fast and the Furious Movies. So when I read about NFS:
Underground I was already drooling. I've been playing the demo and it looks like
it's going to be fair and a lot of fun.
I've played Midnight Club II and Grand Turismo 3 A-Spec for PS2. I like the
graphics and the feel of speed in MC2, but there was no customization. I like
the customization in GT3, but wasn't a big fan of the graphics. I mean, the car
was going fast, but it didn't feel fast. My expectations are set pretty high for
this one since it has both. It comes out tomorrow, the 17th. (11/16/03)
Halo for PC a
lot of damn fun!
I was devastated when I heard that Halo was only coming out for X-Box years
ago. Then I played it on the X-Box over Tom's and was screaming I need a keyboard and
mouse!
Finally my prayers were answered and Halo was release for PC. Even though it
was missing the co-op mode, it was a great Single Player game, close to No One
Lives Forever. It's a challenging, long, and a lot of fun.
Tron 2.0 Demo
Disappointment
My anticipation for this game went from soaring through the clouds to a
rapid loss of cabin pressure. I like the Light Cycles, but it reminded me of an
old game I used to play on my Commodore 64, granted the C64 wasn't 3D or
anything, but the controls are almost the same. The Arena, not sure what I was
doing, but didn't strike me as anything special. I remember the movie disc
battle and it didn't have the same pace. Might as well of been firing a pistol.
I think I'll wait for the bargain bin for this one. (9/1/03)
Watch
out Age of Empires
My friends, Tom and Pezboy, told me about this game. At first, I was a
little overwhelmed by the depth of the game. Then things just started making
sense, like wood cutting facilities can only have so many people working at
them. Also you own the land and enemy units take damage when inside your land
unless they have support units. So building a barracks next to your enemy is
probably not a great idea anymore.
I was not a big fan of Age of Mythology, I just liked Age of Empires better.
Now I believe this one can knock off Age completely. (6/9/03)
