These are from the August 2001 issue, in case anyone is interested...
- Twisted Metal: Black - 9/10
Twisted Metal Black\'s sadistic story combines with the frantic gameplay to create a dark and enjoyable car combat experience.
- Alone in the Dark - 8/10
In a few ways, this game surpasses the Resident Evil series. The puzzles and scares help to make up for the few shortcomings.
- CART Fury - 7/10
This title is farily shallow, and has some notable problems with balance and course design, but CART Fury\'s high points really make CART/F1 racing fun for everyone.
- Fur Fighters - 6/10
Although the graphics and a few other areas have been improved over previous versions, Fur Fighters still suffers from a few problems. If you like action/adventure games, try renting it first.
- MX 2002 - 7/10
Some of this game\'s courses are a bit dull and its handling is a little lacking in terms of realism. Overall, though, the racing action and well-designed freestyle mode are solid enough to provide a lot of fun.
- Bloody Roar 3[/b] - 7/10
Bloody Roar 3 isn\'t a bad game by any means and a great addition to any hardcore fan\'s collection. However, it still cannot compare to Tekken Tag or DOA2: Hardcore.
- Dave Mirra: Maximum Remix - 5/10
This title features even more average gameplay and "me too" level designs than before. If you want a BMX game, go for the much better Mat Hoffman\'s Pro BMX instead.
- Final Fantasy Chronicles - 7/10
Quality games always show their pedigree. While the graphics may be showing their collective age, strong characters and solid storylines can\'t be beat, no matter what year it is.
- Scariest Police Chases - 6/10
Although WSPC can actually be kind of fun to play, it does suffer from a few severe problems that will surely turn some off. If you\'re a huge fan of games like Driver, give it a try. Otherwise, rent it first.
- Motor Mayhem - 8/10
Aside from a few drawbacks in the presentation, Infogrames has delivered a very good vehicular combat game with a unique style.
- Escape From Monkey Island - 7/10
Escape from Monkey Island is a hilarious, thoroughly entertaining game, but you\'d better figure the cost of a hint book into the purchase price, because you\'re going to need it.
A lot of average scores, but nothing to be concerned about. TM: Black, Alone in the Dark, and FF: Chronicles were really the only big name games that were released, and their scores aren\'t too surprising. I must say, though, that I thought Motor Mayhem would be rated a lot lower.
Oh, and this issue contains PSM\'s annual E3 blowout. They\'ve also reported on some MGS2 info that I don\'t think was released anywhere else. If you want to know, just ask. Otherwise I don\'t want to spoil the surprise.
