Xbox Review - 'Bloodrayne'

by The Cookie Snatcher on Oct. 31, 2002 @ 6:37 p.m. PST | Filed under Reviews

At the end of World War I, a group of Nazi war criminals fled to South America. There, they heard rumors of strange creatures in the area… and what they uncovered promised to give them the ability to reclaim their intended glory. Their evil research has pieced together ancient lore connecting three ancient artifacts that promise a power never before seen on earth if all are brought together. However, to the Nazi’s chagrin, there is an older, deeper evil at work here. And the only person who can save the world from these two terrible evils, is our super-sexy, super-lethal, super-natural heroine. Check out our horrific review!

GBA Review - 'LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring'

by The Cookie Snatcher on Oct. 20, 2002 @ 3:49 a.m. PDT | Filed under Reviews

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, is a single player lite-RPG where the player follows the storyline of The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's saga. Throughout the game, the player will have control over the Fellowship members, at times controlling up to nine characters at once. This title is considered a lite-RPG since it will streamline the usual number-crunching found in most RPG's and simplify it to a more action-oriented, quick-paced format. Combat is turn-based, like most RPG's, but will provide a default AI that will control character actions if the player so chooses.

After the enigmatic disappearance of an American scientific expedition in the uncharted and frozen wastelands of the Antarctic, a military rescue team is sent in to investigate. Within these inhospitable surroundings the team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. The game brings fear and suspense to unimaginable levels, with a compelling plot and unique gameplay elements based upon action, evasion, trust and fear.
