Endgame First Look (Post a comment)
[KloWn, July 28, 2001 @ 06:12 PM CST]
Planet PS2 has kicked up a "First Look" preview page for Endgame. Here is a snip.

The PS2 has been out for almost a year now in the US, and I still have yet to shoot anyone. I think most of our nerves are on edge. Shooting stuff is fun, gun games make it legal, and a lack of gun games result in unwanted bad things to otherwise innocent, harmless bystanders. Luckily for the population at large, Cunning Developments is coming to the rescue with a brand spanking new gun shooter, Endgame.
Check out the 'First Look' HERE.

Don't Buy this Game! (Post a comment)
[KloWn, July 28, 2001 @ 07:44 AM CST]
I was checkin' out some PS2 sites and ran into this interesting review. Here is the first paragraph.
'Not being much of a soccer fan myself, I had my soccer-crazed brother check out this game with me. We were both left with mixed feelings about the game, but the one thing we both agreed on was this: Turn the volume off if you plan on playing it.'
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Read the review and see for yourself!
