There's a Road to
Rome Preview on GameSpy.com with a look at the upcoming add-on that adds the
Sicilian theater to the World War II combat of Battlefield 1942. The article
doesn't offer much in the way of impressions of the project, but does describe
the six maps that add locations like Monte Cassino and Anzio, the nine new
included vehicles, how Digital Illusions is also at work on a separate patch to
address lingering issues with the original game, and more.
HomeLan Fed's Freelancer Preview
offers another set of impressions based on getting to play with the upcoming
space sim in the works at Digital Anvil. The piece offers some of the storied
history from the game's lengthy development cycle, to what level this game
qualifies as a sequel to Starlancer, the storyline, the player's freedom to
depart from the main path, the graphics, the joystick-free control system, and
more.
HomeLan Fed's Subliminal Games
Q&A talks with Eric "ZeusLegion" Dieter about Subliminal (send
Blue money) Games about the origins of their company as a modification
team, the (send Blue money) origins of their project to do
a Homeworld spin-off using the Impossible Creatures engine, their game's
storyline, gameplay, units, UGEs, and (send Blue money) more.
Lately I've had some serious glitches with my gaming computer, and as a
temporary network troubleshooting effort as much as anything, installed a couple
of games on my work computer as a control test. As it turns out, this measure
may be more than temporary, as this machine seems to not only clear up the
problem I was addressing, and plays everything I've tried so far flawlessly, in
spite of this machine's use of Windows 2000 Professional, which Microsoft
readily admits is not very well suited for game playing. Go fig.
