Game Description: Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict continues the Unreal franchise on the Xbox and introduces an evolutionary new gameplay style to the traditional FPS genre: acrobatic melee combat. This highly anticipated sequel features new single-player and multiplayer gameplay, player acrobatics, third-person camera mode, and intense melee abilities. Unreal Championship fans can play as any one of 14 characters from the Unreal universe, each with spectacular new Adrenaline Powers that enable new offensive and defensive combos.

I play games. My fiancée Gina plays games. We play together on the couch, but we don't usually play the same game at the same time. Although neither one of us would put the First-Person Shooter (FPS) genre at the top of our lists, I thought that the review copy of Unreal Championship 2: the Liandri Conflict might be a good chance for the two of us to broaden our play habits a bit and bond a little at the same time.

Spy Hunter 2 isn't intolerably bad; it's merely average and uninspired.

Apparently the good people at Midway noticed that there was a genre going unrepresented on the video game store shelves: the Evil God Simulator. To fill this void, they offer PsiOps: The Mindgate Conspiracy. It may not have been intended as an Evil God sim, but that's certainly how it plays, and I for one am ecstatic that it does.

Game Description: Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy sets a new twist on the stealth genre by emphasizing psychic powers as a means to achieve objectives in addition to the use of weapons and agility. Cast in the role of American Psi-Operative Nick Geller, you must make use of telekinesis, pyrokinesis, remote viewing, mind draining, aura seeing, and mind control to stop a deadly and dastardly band of terrorists., The player's mind becomes the ultimate weapon in a game where stealth action and psychic abilities combine to create the ultimate special operative.

It's kind of despicable, but still fun to play.

It is with a heavy heart and more than a little reluctance that I publicly admit that, yes, I actually liked RoadKill. I enjoyed the game far more than I thought I would; enjoyed it far more than I probably should have.
