Major Gamer’s TacOps Report
A Preview of Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns
"Delightfully assembled by TimeGate Studios, and to be published by Strategy First, here truly is a grand contender as one of the better RTS offerings to release during 2001. A fantasy world, with wargame–like environments, KIS delivers a sound title, both graphically and game play–wise. Read and inwardly digest additional details!"

Major Gamer’s TacOps Report
A Preview of Sudden Strike
"Here rests a combat RTS developed in Germany that could put many competitors to shame. Superbly presented in a highly true–to–life venue, Strategy First’s ability to publish this title in North America should prove to be a good move on their part. Smashing stuff!"

Arcanum logo "If you have ne’er seen the like, prepare for a world that combines magic and technology in a rip–snortin’ role–playing game that has depth, excitement, all of the character development you could wish for, and a storyline worthy of novelization.

Shiny Entertainment’s Sacrifice
Sacrifice art "Without question, Interplay’s Sacrifice is a tantalizing offering that’s chock–full of action, RPG wonderments and enough real–time strategy to cause you to continually second–think what you’ve ordered to occur. The graphics are stupendous and the game play is rich. I heartily recommend you read the entire preview to learn of what I do speak."

Hopefully this carefully compiled list shall be of assistance to you."

Despite the fact that Michael Crichton’s novel turned PC game, Timeline, shan’t release until later this fall, you may now view the trailer for the game. The game is under development at Timeline Computer Entertainment, Crichton’s own company, and will be published by Eidos Interactive. Timeline finds you, a student, involved in a time–travel mission in 14th century feudal France. Here with other students, you’ve got to locate your missing professor while the English and French are at war. Timeline will make it easy for you to navigate without difficult keyboard commands or hint books. More information on Timeline can be accessed at www.timelineworlds.com. Enjoyed the book immensely — I certainly hope the game can equal the reading experience
