rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coderj - Started in 1998, the Thief series of games from Ion Storm (of Deus Ex and, well, Thief fame, not of Daikatana infamy) introduced players to two things; a new gameplay style that emphasized stealth and thinking over...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author coderj - Welcome back to the world of Crime Scene Investigation, or C.S.I. for short. It’s a grisly world of sifting through urine soaked dirt and corpse intestines but someone has got to do it. Without these brave women and men, many criminals would go...

Can it Live Up to the Hype?

Wed, 11 Dec 2002 12:17:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coderj - I'm going to be harsh. It's hard not to be with this title, as being a Metroid sequel; it has a lot of hype to live up to. You've been warned.
