LUIGI´S MANSION

Nintendo Gamecube - 60 euro

In this new release we’ve had a look at in the Nintendo Gamecube, you play Luigi. The ghost King Boo has kidnapped poor Mario and hidden him in a haunted house for you to find. Thanks to the elegant Gad you’ll have to visit the fifty different settings and clear the house of ghosts, room by room. Even though it’s spectacular and beautifully done, we found it quite easy and short. But sure, what can we do about it? It’s clear that Nintendo are still set on designing their games for children.

PROJECT GOTHAM

Xbox - 69,95 euro

If you like driving cars and speed, then this is the game for you. Great chance to show off your driving skills. It’s much faster and simpler than the Xbox Burnout. You won’t find a better driving game around. If you like car races, this game is manna from heaven as far as you’re concerned. Loads of different cars to choose from, different types of weather, choose your own music, great variety of tracks to race on…this game has it all there for you. Really good. Probably the best game around at the moment. For the moment.

MEDAL OF HONOR

Ps2 / Pc

Electronic arts and Dreamworks have just released this new game which seems to be based on the film “Saving Soldier Ryan”. The following review is on the Pc version. The game is based on carrying out different missions. But it’s not only that; it also involves chipping in with the duties of the comrades at your side. They’ll help you cut down Nazis and take the bullet for you as you’ve never seen before. This game is similar to Wolfstein (see The Balde 2) but we’ve found it to be much more playable. The music and sound effects really drag you into the game by the scruff of your neck and the fact that they haven’t translated the voices(the Americans speak English and the Germans speak German) actually adds to the game. Although they’ve changed quite a few things for the Ps2 version, they’ve maintained and even improved the mission to Normandy.
