Flip Is A Bit Of A Flop
Flip’s Twisted World has some cool concepts, but they just aren’t put together all that well. It’s a shame too, because they could have had a real hit on their hands.
Fantastic Flying Fists, Part 2
Mixing in RPG elements to a straight fighter is a very good thing. Although shallow by pure RPG standards, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja: Storm 2 will delight its fans.
A Hauntingly Good Time
Just a bit late for Halloween, Alawar releases Haunted Domains, a strategy title that puts you in charge of a haunted hotel where the ghosts tip big.
Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn
Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn (BGII) is as fine a sequel as any game company could ask for. This follow up to the award-winning Baldur’s Gate has the same great graphics, the same wonderful sound effects and the same great game system. That being said much has also been expanded on and improved. First […]
Kabuto Could Have Been More
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is an impressive display of graphics and top-notch sound. The game is clearly taking advantage of what new high end computers can offer to the field.

It also pokes fun at Star Wars, Indiana Smith and a host of other pop culture symbols. I don’t recall the original Zork being that funny. […]
The Secret World of Santa Claus
The Secret World of Santa Claus is big Christmas fun for little ones. It’s nothing miraculous, but it’s worth having if you have children 3 to 8 years old that you’re trying to keep entertained during those long December nights before or just after Christmas. This CD-ROM will conveniently run on just about any PC […]
The Incredible Machine is Ridiculous, Frustrating
The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions is incredible. It’s incredible how much of your time it can suck away. Like a really good book with really short chapters, you just keep telling yourself that you will complete one more quick contraption and then take a break. Hours later you emerge from your computer, bleary-eyed with […]
102 Dalmatians is Disney at its Best
Disney software has produced a winner. I wish all their games were this good. 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue is fun for the entire family and completely playable for children eight and up. If you have an easy to use joystick, younger children might enjoy it as well. The premise for the game is […]
