Desert Seige

Welcome to East Africa, the year is 2009. A sixty-year conflict boils over as Ethiopia invades its smaller neighbor Eritrea, threatening the world’s most vital shipping lanes in the Red Sea. An elite team of US Army Green Berets, known as the Ghosts, moves in to safeguard the seas and free Eritrea. As the war rages on, the Ghosts are drawn from Eritrea’s shores to the heart of Ethiopia and into their deadliest battles yet.

Operation Flashpoint

The game takes place on the island of Everon, the year is 1985. The United States and the Soviet Union are still embroiled in the cold war. You start out as Private Armstrong, your platoon is getting ready to be shipped off the island in a day or so. The first campaign mission is more or less a training session. The session is worked into the story well, and lets you get the hang of the controls before dumping you into combat. Shortly after the training mission you learn that the island has been invaded by a group of Soviet renegades. You are told there is help on the way, but you and the other soldiers on the island are going to have to try and dislodge the Soviets.

 Max Payne

The long awaited Max Payne has finally been released. Remedy Entertainment has been working on this glorious project for four years and from the looks of it, it was time well spent. Seems the main focus of the game is to dish out lots of pain. It appears the team spent a lot of effort in the graphical area and it has paid off. It is obvious as we sit and play this game where most of the game's influence came from, movies. Movies like The Matrix, Face-off and Die Hard to name a few. After four long years, Remedy has put together one of the most anticipated 3rd person shooter action game to date, and have mixed in it's extraordinary new powerful 3D engine ta-boot. Let's just see if this game lives up to the hype received around the gaming industry from its movie trailers to screenshots.

 Serious Sam

What can I say about Serious Sam other than it’s a good thing for open minds and second-chances.  I didn’t have the advantage of playing the demo, so my first taste of the game was when I played death match with my friends.  And to put it bluntly, I didn’t like it much.  Honestly, I didn’t even consider playing it again for several days.  Then I was home one night after work and decided to give the single player mode a try and that’s when it happened, I got sucked in.  I don’t know exactly when or how it happened, but minutes . . . hours had passed and suddenly everything was dark around me because evening had set in without my noticing.  “I was only going to play for a minute, ” I thought and I found myself saying, “but if I could just kill this guy it will be a good place to save the game and stop.” 

Quake 3 Team Arena

Quake fans are likely to get bored with the usual sanguinary, non  strategy, fragging and gibbing commonly seen in the series. We also saw mediocre results in previous Quake series games where companies other than ID Software handled mission packs. While Quake III Arena focuses mostly on the death match concept, Team Arena focuses more on a team arena game as seen on the Unreal Tournament Game of the Year.

  Giants:  Citizen Kabuto

I first laid eyes on this game at the 2000 Comdex show where the beta of this game was on display. I had already heard how good it was going be when it was released. As they say, seeing is believing. Now that I've had a chance to load the game and play it for the first time, I truly believe it has the makings of being one of the elite games of 2000.

  No One Lives Forever

How does Skin tight leather, high heeled boots, and a wide assortment of high-powered weapons sound? If any of those things sound good to you then I would recommend giving No One Lives Forever a shot or maybe two for good measure...

  SWAT 3 Elite Edition

When reading reviews of Swat3 Elite Edition, nearly every reviewer mentions that Swat3 was a great game but it was simply lacking its multi player element. Now that the multiplayer option has arrived in the form of either a free upgrade download, or at your local game shop, then realistic-tactical sim players everywhere can sit back and enjoy Swat3 for what it is now – Elite Edition...

  Gunman Chronicles

When I first heard about Gunman Chronicles I wasn’t jumping up and down to play the game. The thought of another run around shooter just didn’t catch my attention. Well, Luckee called me up and said that I had to check out this new game that he just got. As I walked into his computer dungeon, I saw on his screens a great looking game, it was Gunman. He told me to take a seat and... 

  Rogue Spear: Covert Ops

The graphics and the board were incredible. I was pleased to see a good outdoors "jungle" style mission. As any of you Rouge Spear fans know most of the boards are in army installations or urban buildings. The jungle board was and nice change of pace..

  Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

The game story starts as Voyager is lured into a trap. Damaged and unable to leave under it’s own power Ensign Munro and members of the newly formed "Hazard Force" commanded by Lt Tuvok are sent to save the crew and ship from bands of alien marauders and to gather information from enemy vessels to help the Voyager escape and find it’s way home.

  Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear

As police officer and a game nut I was impressed with the intensity and realism in the Rouge Spear Series.....

  Deus Ex

Deus Ex Machina. Directly translated, "God from Machine." The phrase actually refers to something that provides an unexpected and quite sudden solution to a difficult problem, a miracle of sorts.

In this case, the game is Deus Ex, and the problem is a web of government conspiracies that could jeopardize the fate of the world. The solution? Why, you, of course.....

  Wheel of Time

...As a long time Wheel of Time fan I was even more excited to learn that there was going to be a Wheel of Time first person shooter game released. When I heard the news I rushed to my local game store to see if I could find a release date...
