Late Night Consoling
The new Shack reviews system
is pretty cool, isn't it? I haven't submitted any myself yet, but don't be surprised
if my name starts popping up here and there. I'm probably going to write up
a few quickie reviews of some older games as well...nothing too in-depth, but
I think this system will be really useful once we have a good selection of opinions
of new and old games.
- GameSpot has gone all-out for the Xbox port
of Max Payne tonight, with a
hands-on preview, an
interview with some of the developers from Remedy, and even a
video preview of the game.
- Icrontic continues to post articles on their various attempts to hack the Xbox. Their second article is online, but what is most interesting are the posts to Icrontic's forums by fellow Xbox hackers, which say that the system's hard drive has indeed been cracked.
- No shockers here: Metal Gear Solid 2 is selling like hotcakes.
- The first one just shipped, but it would appear that work on Frequency 2 is about to get underway.
- The GIA has posted new screenshots, cut-scene shots and character designs from Lunar Legend, the upcoming Lunar remake for the GameBoy Advance.
- Just in case you don't trust your fellow shack readers (or want a second opinion), here are a few external reviews: Cube.IGN's Extreme G Racing 3 review is now available for non-paying readers (8.5), PSX.IGN has a review of Twisted Metal: Small Brawl (4.5), PS2.IGN reviews Dynasty Warriors 3 (8.5) and GameSpot has reviews of the GBA (6.7) and GameCube (7.4) versions of Batman: Vengeance, along with a review of the apparently horrid Xbox title Kabuki Warriors, which they bestowed with a 1.4 out of 10.
