Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Clones Campaign By Greg Meadors \| 07/08/02 So maybe the title isn't exactly true, but it almost fits. The Clones Campaign is the expansion for Galactic Battlegrounds which is a clone of Age of Empires 2--more or less (much closer to the 'more' than the 'less'). With Battlegrounds, it was easy to argue that the game could have been... Read More	WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos By Kaleb Rutherford \| 07/05/02 remember when the original WarCraft was released. Blizzard, a relatively unknown company by the public, attempted to create a Real Time Strategy game that would rival all competitors. They succeeded with WarCraft and later went on to revolutionize the genre once again with WarCraft II:... Read More
Jazz and Faust By Kaleb Rutherford \| 07/02/02 Monkey Island, Kings Quest, Myst, Space Quest, Zork, Leisure Suit Larry, Quest for Glory, and Sam & Max. These titles conjure up images in my mind of the golden era of PC gaming. This was an age of adventure games?Äîgraphic adventures that ranged from funny to serious. Everywhere you went,... Read More	The Sum of all Fears By Kevin Watson \| 06/28/02 So what would be your worst fear? Do you fear the government might soon make four years of college mandatory for all citizens? Perhaps you fear a Female ambulance driver rushing you to the hospital? Maybe you fear the long-awaited return of a certain idolized Jew from Bethlehem? How about a... Read More
Operation Flashpoint: Gold Edition By Jay Waschak \| 05/29/02 I can truly say that the developers went out of their way to research and produce a game worthy of a realistic first person shooter. The game is set in 1985, at a point many could consider the height of the Cold War. The game drops you as an American soldier in midst of a brewing conflict in... Read More	Warrior Kings By Jay Waschak \| 05/17/02 The fine line between strategy and RPG has always been a delicate one. Although some games have merged the two with moderate success, this has always been a difficult goal for any developer. Warrior Kings is a driven by a plot, but drops out to a strategy environment. In a way, it gives us the... Read More
Grandia II By Kevin Watson \| 05/06/02 What does one look for in a good role-playing game? A dramatic storyline involving a loveable hero and a despicable villain is always nice. Plenty of imaginative items and an assortment of flashy spells can help give the game character. A simple but effective battle system that allows the player... Read More	Heroes of Might and Magic IV Elite Edition By Jason White \| 05/06/02 In this latest installment in the Heroes of Might and Magic series, New World Computing has managed to set it far apart while still holding on to what make's this series a classic. It's a turn-based RTS with several RPG elements that will slowly take over your life. Read More
Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 04/29/02 I have to admit that this game was more fun than I expected. It's an upgraded version of the original Ultimate Ride. It includes everything that the original had, plus new track types, props, and puzzles. For those of you who don't know, this game is not like Roller Coaster Tycoon. That game... Read More	RoboForge By Greg Meadors \| 04/24/02 If you are a fan of the robot fighting television shows like Robot Arena, then you'll probably enjoy trying your hand at RoboForge. Just like the shows you try to build the granddaddy of all bots and battle it against all takers to prove who has the biggest set of servos on the block--well, on... Read More
Warlords Battlecry II By Jason White \| 04/19/02 Warlords Battlecry II is a fantastic game. It has all the qualities of a good RTS and has the character building of a good RPG. The addictive gameplay will make eating and sleeping seem like an option. This is one game no one should miss out on. Read More	Dark Planet: Battle for Natrolis By Greg Meadors \| 04/16/02 Dark Planet: Battle for Natrolis gives you the option of commanding one of three different races into 3-D RTS battle. The game engine delivers an astounding stage to wage a smidgen of warfare. While the environment proves to be an amazing backdrop for what could be a truly amazing game, it falls... Read More
Heroes of Might & Magic IV By Jarrett Welch \| 04/09/02 For those new to the series, Heroes of Might and Magic IV is a turn based strategy game based on the Might and Magic RPG. The series has always had a charmingly simple core system of rules, you gather resources needed to build structures, which are needed to create troops, which are needed to... Read More	Dungeon Siege By Greg Meadors \| 04/04/02 Once in a very long time through the proper alignment of stars and peaking biorhythms, I manage to get lucky, and this time I got lucky in a big way. No, I'm not trying to gloat but make you understand how rarely some good fortune comes my way. If you play PC games, then you have probably heard... Read More
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast By John Bean \| 04/03/02 Everyone who's ever been a Lucasarts fan knows what's riding on Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (JK2). It's the newest installment in the last great Lucasarts gaming franchise. With disappointments like Force Commander and Obi Wan, and the SCUMM engine glory days being overlooked by new gamers,...

Tropico, a new game from Pop Top software is, when you get right down to itm a traditional city-building sim, in the same vein as Caesar, but the action is stylishly displayed in a political shell and a Carribean flavor.
