| It's getting closer and
closer to that magical gaming time, the Holliday season! That
means lots of new games are being or about to be released, and
of course it means some will be pushed back to 2003. :( I've added
some of these hot games to the "Dates to Remember" section
on the left.
The latest tactical shooter from the Rainbow 6 line,
Raven Shield, has converted over to the Unreal engine!
It is also supposed to have some UI enhancements also. (like automaticly
breaching and clearing a room) Then there's Splinter Cell
which I don't know what engine it uses, but it's more of a on
man special forces game. Kind of like Hitman
I think, but hopefully better.
Another bit of tactical shooter news, the SWAT
line of games from Sierra has also switched to a new engine, though
I think it's another in-house engine.
While I'm not big into MMO games, Star Wars Galaxies
is supposed to be out by the end of the year.
And, according to Computer Gaming World, Unreal 2
will make us forget about Halo only being on
the Xbox. Sounds good to me :) Stupid Microsoft.
Speaking of Xbox, one of my friends highly recomends Buffy
the Vampire Slayer on that platform. I myself don't have
an Xbox, so if you do you might want to give it a try. |
