Current Previews for February 2000 |
 WWF SmackDown! |
| Yes, it's got nifty
FMV, but no Grandmaster Sexay? What kind of game is that? |
| Wild Arms 2 |
| An RPG with charm and
character, at just the right time to fill what's no longer a niche. |
| Hot Shots Golf 2 |
| Superdeformed cool is
replaced by an ugly fat guy, but the game proper is as solid as ever. |
| Sega GT |
| My little GTO looks
finer than ever - Sega fields a winner in the GT racing ranks. |
| Vagrant Story |
| The creators of an
amazing strategy game follow with an amazing 3D action-RPG. |
| Rollcage Stage II |
| Hey, Pooch, are you
happy now? I would be, if only this game would let me drive backwards. |

| GRO [heart] slitting
throats. Sorry, Mom, but Tenchu is just way too much fun. |
| Star Trek: Invasion |
| Quit watching your
console go pop in front of you and get up close and personal with the action. |
| Faselei |
| Crush them, Toy
Soldier! No, no, it just doesn't have that same ring to it. |
| Rhapsody |
| After years and years
of classic RPG music, an RPG that brings the soundtrack to the fore. |
| Grandia II |
| If you don't know this
will be great, you must not know too much about Game Arts' record. |
| MediEvil 2 |
| Our first go at Sir
Dan's return gets a thumbs up, if for nothing other than the Thing homage. |
| Turok 3 |
| This time, you get to
do battle with Oblivion - the comics never run out of these guys, do they? |
| Macross VF-X 2 |
| Free as a bird...that's
suspended in a tasty, colorful Jell-O mold. |
| SW E1 Racer DC |
| A mouthful of a title,
but it still looks great - if you want to play the movie, this is your chance. |
| Daikatana 64 |
| John Romero obviously
has a powerful vision here, but does the 64 have what it takes? |
| Speed Punks |
| Not as much depth as
the best of kart racers, but superior graphics and style. |
| Street Sk8er 2 |
| Still racing on
skateboards, but there's much more to do between points A and B. |
| Fear Effect |
| The promise of dark
future action and a fascinating style has us captivated. |
| Chase The Express |
| Hunt down terrorists on
that most reliable of action settings, a speeding train. |
| Alundra 2 |
| It's Matrix's first
shot at 3D - movies, screens, and a fairly strong thumbs-up inside. |
| SF Alpha 3 |
| W Impact has the mighty
animation, but Alpha 3 has the wonderful World Tour. |
| Nightmare Creatures 2 |
| A grim, violent, and
undeniably absorbing game is at hand - much information inside. |

| We'd rather play this
than Buggy Heat, but, well, we'd rather play Crazy Taxi than either. |

| Warning - contents may
be unsuitable for younger viewers and the webmaster's mother. |
| Custom Robo |

| Vanishing Point |
| A great racer in the
strangest of places - oh, well, I'm not going to quibble. |
| Fur Fighters |

little animals - don't tell my mother I played this one. |

| One of the most
beautiful feats of 2D art we've ever seen.. |
| Gal's Fighters |
| Another SNK fighter is
always welcome, particularly one this good-looking. |

devilish Alundra remains mysterious; RPG fans, keep you eyes on it. |

the finest names in platforming, on yet another sysrtem. |

coin-collecting mini-gaming friend's-back-stabbing action from Nintendo. |

| Do illegal things to
anthropomorphoid pigs once more, and in full 3D. Does the church know about this? |
| Crusaders of M&M |
| Might and Magic, that
is, one of our favorite RPG series. Whether Crusaders will be as well-liked...hm. |

| It doesn't get any
better than giant robots, and giant robots don't get better than Virtual On. |

galaxy torn by war, with improvements on the classic model |
| SNK Vs. Capcom |
