Constantly rumored to be extinct, space combat sims are a rare breed these days. Yet, Space Force: Rogue Universe aims to change the fortune of recent games that were over-hyped and delivered less than promised. Boasting a wide variety of ships, weapons and races, as well as an incredible graphics engine, the entire galaxy is your playground as you choose what to do, from creating a formidable trade empire, to becoming an intergalactic diplomat, to turning your laser cannons against everyone as a widely hated space pirate.
Space Force 2 can be played in either of two modes Story mode or Free mode. In Story mode, you follow Jim Anderson, an EMD pilot trying to find his lost sister. You watch as Jims father is killed in space while Jim and his sister are still children. Fast forward a number of years, and the siblings have grown apart. When Jim hears troubling news concerning his sister, he knows he must do whatever it takes to find her and make her safe. However, you can follow the story arc at your leisure while dabbling in any of the other elements the game offers. Free mode is exactly as it sounds: you are free to simply explore the galaxy, trading goods, fighting battles and accepting side quests while making both friends and enemies. This open-ended nature allows you to enjoy Space Force 2 however you see fit. [full review] |

Mixing the solid gameplay of a good, first person shooter with the creepy atmosphere of Japanese horror films like The Ring, Monolith has come up with a unique spin on the standard action shooter. F.E.A.R. aims to entertain not only with excellent action and tough enemies, but with chills and storyline. Our reviewer dives in to see if they succeed. [full review] |

The sky is blackened by dark clouds and planet Earth is nearing its sad end. Human, a creature so inventive, has already tried all the possibilities to avoid his doom. Unsuccessfully. Only one way still remains - a time tunnel leading back to the year 1958. Contingent, the new world's government, didn't hesitate and jumps into the tunnel with a great army to fight against their own ancestors. Gain the planet at any cost. The primacy of the contingent's modern units is extensive but the situation changes rapidly and the red sun rises above the planet. Nuclear war is in the air, a war that no-one expected. There is no way back and both sides are forced to continue fighting. [full review] |

After multiple delays and great anticipation from the gaming community, Half-Life 2 seeks to stand up to the promises that Valve has made over the last year or two. Technologically, the game physics have been taken to a whole new level that should set a precedent for future first person shooters. But can the game play of this latest Half Life live up to the original? Will players become engrossed as Gordon again, or will it be just another pretty shoot-em-up? Our reviewer digs in and gives with the answers. [full review] |

Star Wars: Battlefront is likely to be every Star Wars nuts dream. Patterned after the Battlefield 1942 type of play, Battlefront is sure to become a successful title for LucasArts. Battlefront mainly focuses on the multiplayer aspect of play but does contain some single player action as well. Historically the Star Wars franchise has not done well however, this might be the game that not only gets the Star Wars geeks in a frenzy but has half a chance of pulling in new fans as well.

One of the most anticipated games of the year (perhaps of the last several years) has finally hit the market. Will Doom 3 revive a classic brand as well as a sagging PC Video Game market? Can it compete with early next-gen game Far Cry and what kind of bar will it set for the other big-game, Half Life 2? Our reviewer grabs his shotgun and jumps back into hell for a visit.
