Finally, after nearly five years of hush-hush development,
Valve Software is releasing the sequel to Half-Life, none other
than Half-Life
2. Scheduled to hit the shelves as early as September
30th, HL2 features semi-destructable environments, enhanced
enemy and NPC AI, its own graphics engine, new characters and
weapons, a breathtaking physics engine, and corpse dismemberment.
I need a new PC game to play, and this looks to be the one we've
all been waiting for!
id is bringing back the legend. Doom returns after Doom II,
Final Doom, and Ultimate Doom with, oh - oh: Doom
III. It boasts the greatest graphics engine on the
home PC and a whole new level in audio environment effects.
Plus, it'll scare you even more than before!
WarCraft
III: Reign of Chaos has proven to be, as Blizzard Entertainment
never fails to achieve, one of the greatest games of all time.
Its fantastic interlacing of classic real time strategy fun
with the features of dungeon-hack style role playing make this
game better than any other Blizzard game i've ever played, which
easily makes it the best RTS/RPS ever created by beings man
or god.
I read, also, that the late Lucas Arts is releasing a sequel
to its famed Full Throttle title that was put out oh so long
ago. Perhaps the ole' factory can turn out some good games
once again. We shall certainly see, as I will likely be
rather critical.

My Top 10 Favorite Games
- Medal of Honor:
Allied Assault The immersion this shooter offers
is amazing. If only developers could push this kind
of ingenius on all games, I'd never sleep.
- Half-Life (including
mods) I think everyone agrees that this game brought
forth a whole new generation in the way gamers and developers
think about their gaming experience.
- WarCraft
III: Reign of Chaos There is no better developer
than Blizzard and there is no better Blizzard game than WarCraft
III.
- Driver
I can't stress enough how great this little-known PC game
really is. It is distinctly better than the PlayStation
version. Now if only they'd release Driver 2 for PC
too.
- Max Payne
Another great game for immersion. The environmental
effects, story and coloration have shown that the amount of
time spent developing this game was well worth it.
- Return
to Castle Wolfenstein Not a total success as new
games go, but an awesome adaptation on the most revolutionary
game in video game history.
- Jedi
Knight The Star Wars franchise has never been honored
more than by such a masterpiece. It is truly too bad
that Lucas Arts has chosen the Dark-Side.
- Tomb
Raider By far, the most over saturated game title
in the industry. However, I have many fond memories
of playing this classic in pure awe of the concept.
- WarCraft
II Before there was WC3, there was another amusing,
vampiric, time-absorbing game.
- Re-Volt
A nice little game with plenty of custom maps to satisfy your
craving for more Driver.
