| Description: | Homeworld is a beautiful game. Stunning nebulae flow effortlessly in the distance as you move with complete freedom along the three axes, your ships dancing in your view as they carry out your commands. Not only have Relic created a fantastic game engine -- the screenshot doesn't do it justice -- but they've also created a whole new genre. Homeworld takes the traditional RTS model and adds a new dimension -- the third. | ||||

|
||||
| Description: | This version of NBA Live has been worth the wait. There has been a real effort to replicate both authentic-looking court play and the atmosphere of a real game. This has been mainly achieved by animation: players have changing facial expressions; the spectators move in response to on-court developments; and there are even the theatrics of the pre-game team introductions. You can also hear the on-court comments of the players and their reactions to referee decisions. | ||||

| USAF | |||||

here:
|
||||
| Description: | Jane's has piloted the middle course with this combat flight sim, successfully producing a game that will appeal both to newbie pilots with an urge to get their hands on a joystick, and to seasoned fighter jocks who are looking for a bit of relief after the rigours of Falcon 4.0 or Flanker 2.0. Don't be mistaken into thinking that USAF has been dumbed-down, though. The 150-page manual included with the game should be enough to tell you that there is still plenty to chew on. | ||||
