You awaken in a stupor, not sure where you are or how you got there. As you stumble in a dark, dank cell, you hear inhuman sounds drifting through the black of the poorly lit hallway. Your grip tightens on your rifle as the fear builds until suddenly you see eyes peering through the darkness. You level your weapon, pull the trigger and a hollow click follows: You Are Empty.
In the fifties of an alternate reality,

'Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls' (GBA) Coming to Europe
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under European Games Network - European Games Network 2004
The role playing genre has evolved phenomenally over the last twenty years and now Nintendo is bringing back the two games that started it all.

PC Preview - 'Quake IV'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005

Genre: FPS
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Raven Software
Release Date: TBA
I can honestly say that I won’t forget Quake IV anytime soon. The FPS has reached new heights of deliberate immersion lately; games like Breakdown have placed us behind the eyes of people who are, for example, puking, throwing punches, or doing a backflip.

So yeah. That’ll stay with me for
PC Preview - 'Tabula Rasa'

Genre: MMO
Publisher: NCSoft
Developer: Destination Games
Release Date: TBA
Another MMORPG from NCSoft under development is Tabula Rasa, which combines gameplay elements from futuristic shooter games with the MMORPG formula in order to create something new. It has a very shooter-like interface, all the way down to having crosshairs in the middle of the game. If I hadn't known better and just glanced at the screen, I would have assumed it was a third-person shooter without hesitation.
Humanity is at war with aliens, and the battle isn't going so well. Humans have been lent aid, however, by the mysterious
