An update to EA's Alice Site adds a new
riddle, as well as the answer to the previous one in case your bat-computer
couldn't dope it out. The latest boggler continues the series of riddles to
promote American McGee’s Alice, the upcoming homage to Through the Looking
Glass that will use the Quake III engine. Thanks American McGees Alice Webring.

An Interstate
82 Development Update and Screenshots The Adrenaline Vault with no less
than 15 screenshots from the first 11 missions from a beta of Activision's
upcoming sequel to Interstate '76, which is powered by the

of the game based on this new build soon.
Vampire: The
Masquerade Design Log on the Vault Network offers a designer diary from
Nihilistic's Ray Gresko, giving the lowdown on progress on Nihilistic's upcoming
Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption. Part one of his diary is titled "Origins
of the Masquerade," which goes into the background of the game and
Nihilistic. Saw that on PC.IGN.com
where they've posted a Vampire screenshot that looks familiar: I believe it was
previously published.
There's an Elite
Force Interview on 3D Nexus offing a conversation with Michael Gummelt,
programmer at Raven Software about his work on Raven's upcoming Star Trek
Voyager game, Elite Force, which uses the Quake III engine. The questions were
sent off to project leader Raven's Brian Pelletier but were apparently more
appropriate for Mike to answer.

LT2 title No One Lives Forever (working title).

has posted eight screenshots from The Collective's third person Unreal engine

either way they are impressive enough to warrant a look.

After the Smurf-colored guy pointed out Next-Generation's typo in referring
to this here site as "Blue's Clues" yesterday, we received a deluge
of mail about the children's show of that name. We are all quite aware of Blue
the Dog and his wacky adventures...some even think they're modeled after our
own Blue (okay, so maybe those people are delusional...but around here, who
can tell the difference?). A
follow-up post at Next-Generation last night corrects the typo, which blames
the mistake on their just receiving Humongous Entertainment's newest Spy Fox
title, which of course, is called Blue's Clues. Worry not, those responsible
for the error have been sacked.
Link of the Day: Tom
Hall vs. The World. Yes, I know it's been a link of the day already...but
dear lord, he actually won (thanks Mike "D3" Lovell). I have
the sinking feeling that the end is nigh.
