Unreal Tournament 2004 Review

Unreal Tournament 2004 is the newest edition of this popular franchise, and after a slightly disappointing UT 2003, Epic has delivered in spades. UT 2004 offers the graphics, gameplay and game modes that combine the very best of its UT lineage, along with adding some innovative touches of its own.

Disney's ToonTown Online Review

ToonTown Online is Disney's entry into the land of the MMORPG, but with a twist. This is a more cartoon-like experience, complete with Disney favorites Mickey, Donald, Goofy and the gang, and a gag-filled method of combat. Still, the game is surprisingly addictive and definitely fun for all ages.

Galactic Civilizations Review

One of the most popular games for the old OS/2 operating system was Galactic Civilizations, and now Stardock has taken the basic premise and overhauled it for 2003. This is a is a single player space strategy game, in which the player colonizes planets, researches technologies, and battles against 5 alien races for control of the galaxy. Best of all, this may be the game that cleanses the bad taste left by MOO3.

Splinter Cell Review

Released last November for the Xbox, Ubi Soft's Splinter Cell's was heralded as the next 'must have' game for that system. It combined Tom Clancy's conspiracy-filled plots with Metal Gear Solid's stealth like gameplay, and tossed in some high-octane action as well. Now, Splinter Cell makes it transition to the PC and attempts to deliver the high-end gameplay as the console version, which as some other cart ports have proven, is not an easy task.
