Sierra Games
Half-Life 2
I should take a moment to talk about the gravity gun. This is the coolest feature in the game, and in fact, may be the coolest in any game ever.
Die Hard: Vendetta
If there's one movie franchise that's due for a good videogame counterpart, it's the Die Hard series.
Empire Earth: Art of Conquest Expansion
Space combat is also quite disappointing, behaving almost exactly like sea combat.
3-D Ultra Radio Control Racers
You know how some trends seem to be circular in nature? Take fashion and music from the 70’s.
Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza
You play John McClane in this oddly dated return to the 1988 hit film but frankly, this first person shooter really doesn't bring much to the genre.
Diablo: Hellfire
The story centers around the demon Na-Krul, one of Diablo's cronies who is tired of being an underling and wants to branch out into his own brand of tyranny over the poor besieged town of Tristram.
Shivers 2: Harvest of Souls
The graphics in this game were wonderful, especially in the attention given to detail. Cyclone looks like an actual town, with pebbles on the ground, garbage, flowers, tombstones and more.
No One Lives Forever
It is not that I found this game particularly bad; it just felt too routine for my tastes.
Viper Racing
So let's take some people out of the highly successful Papyrus Racing Group and have them form their own development group.
Joint Task Force
Most of the time, I'm of the mind that gameplay is what really sells any given title.
Tribes Aerial Assault
It's the 40th Century and just when humanity thought they had the art of killing down to a' well' an art, along comes hordes of genetically engineered BioDerm salve soldiers. So now it's up to the four neo-barbarian tribes to stop them.
Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire
So, you still want to be a hero? Well, come visit Silmaria on the beautiful Grecian-style island of Marete.
NASCAR Racing 4
Papyrus has produced a series of racing simulations that are arguably the most realistic in gaming.
Outpost 2: Divided Destiny
Sierra Dynamix has produced a real slug fest. That's slug, as in the snail without a shell.
Hunter/Hunted
I must say from the outset that I approached this game with more than a little skepticism, because I have never been a fan of 2D side-scrolling platform "run-jump-and-shoot" games.
Poseidon: Zeus Official Expansion
After overthrowing the powers that be, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon divvied the world up.
Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance
Wanted: One leader to rule the realms of Anuire. Travel to distant realms in search of treasure and influence.
Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within
It's an intriguing story: a young girl has been mauled by a wolf near Gabriel Knight's ancestral home in Bavaria, and Gabriel is asked to find out why.
Tribes: Vengeance
The single player campaign is rich in story-telling and characters, allowing you to play from a variety of perspectives.
Lords of the Realm II
Strategy games tend to focus on either micromanagement or massive battles, and no matter which one the game tends to focus on, the other almost always suffers.
NASCAR Racing 1999
The green flag is waved and the race is underway. You are driving the car that is faved at this speedway.
EarthSiege 2
Two tremendous artillery rigs crest the hill and begin to pour fire down on what remains of my squadron.
No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way
There are tons of good first-person shooters out there, especially this year, but few of them have managed to mingle a good, solid game with an interesting and really quite amusing plot, until now.
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
At first, they were just words -- rumors of things barely understood. Words without any connection to the magical world you know, but heavy with mystery.
Lords of Magic
Now Urak is in dire need of help. With Balkoth free, the temples are overrun with the power of Darkness, and the land begs for a savior to return it to its former glory.
Leisure Suit Larry's Casino
Leisure Suit Larry is at it again, except this time he has a new twist. He is in Vegas and is having a ball.
3-D Ultra NASCAR Pinball
If the screenshots haven't already made it obvious, let me be perfectly clear: Although it may appeal to racing fans, THIS IS NOT A RACING GAME.
Starsiege
In the 29th century, humankind thrives under the Great Human Empire. On Mother Earth, the Immortal Emperor Petresun has ruled for more than 175 years.
Grand Prix Legends
Once upon a time, auto racing consisted of just that -- no beer commercials, no corporate sponsors, no aerodynamics -- just hard, fast, dangerous driving.
Tribes 2
An explosion rocks the side of your head! Using your jet pack, you quickly launch 100 feet into the air. Another explosion rocks the limitless ground beneath you.
3-D Ultra Minigolf
In contrast to the huge array of professional golf simulations, which now emphasize photo-realistic courses and accurate replications
Red Baron 2
When I was sixteen years old I went on a trip that very much changed my life.
Robert E. Lee, Civil War General
As the smoke settles, you see them crossing the ridge. Dressed in the blue uniforms of the Union army, the well-supplied troops take the hill and dig in for defense.
Cyberstorm 2: Corporate Wars
What do you think of when you hear the word “corporate?” Dull meetings and boring memos?
Professional Bull Rider
As a kid living in the cornfields of Iowa, I had the opportunity to ride a few horses and some cattle.
Stay Tooned
You're a couch potato ... but maybe you already knew that.
Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh
This "sequel" of sorts doesn't have any relation to its predecessor beyond the title and genre.
