Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
reviewed by Donald Melanson
The original Prince of Persia, created
by Jordan Mechner, was notable for two reasons. At the time,
its graphics were phenomenal, with smoother animation than
had been seen before in a computer game. It was also really
hard.

Sega's
Shooters: Rez-isting Orta
Justin
Hall reviews Panzer Dragoon Orta for Xbox.
"I
wasn't inclined to like Panzer Dragoon Orta; I'm not much
for shooters, and I like exploration. But once the game
started I forgot my aversion to linearity. Panzer Dragoon
Orta is eye-slamming: full-throttle fantastic psychedelic.

Splinter Cell
for Xbox
reviewed
by Jane Pinckard and Justin Hall
There
is something creepily naïve about a game which unproblematically
posits you, protagonist Sam Fisher, as a willing and deathly
efficient tool of an ultra-secret U.S. government organization
in a setting rife with contemporary geo-political machinations.
