The Thing Comments by Kristan Reed
Review - another latey from Vivendi, but does this one disappoint too?

vanilla architecture.
Well it is mostly snow... Anyway, the innovative things in this game, is most of the time wasted on scripted sequences and not in actual gameplay. It doesn't really act very terrifying either. "-Oh my god, we're in an room filled with human and alien intestants all over the wall." "-Yeah, it is just as the last 17 rooms we've been in." You get the point. |

what next, a Mario 64 review?
*We didn't get sent a copy of this *big puppy eyes* so we were forced to buy it 2nd hand from GameStation in order to bring the EG readers the best possible service.* =P |

on a more serious note, why not start reviewing demos? I'd like see a critical light brought to bear on some demos and there are plenty out there... haegomonia, grom, VC... waddya reckon guys? I think that some EG readers would find it useful, especially when you have some demos weighing in at 300MB each and not all of us have a T1 line and DVD burner at work (and some of us do and it's attached to a Mac... noooooooo!)

Hey, as we've pointed out in the past, Vivendi is the only publisher in the country that can't be arsed to service EG with pre release code. If they can't be arsed to give us review code, and then give us a boxed copy three weeks after it's come out, we're hardly likely to jump to it and review it the second it arrives, given that there were about 150 games to choose from in the run up to Xmas...

Maybe cause they think EG is not worth the postage cost?
OK, who wants to hold him down? ;-) |

rapid demo review guide
Haegomonia (sp): get a geforce 4, quick! Grom: crippled by hideous counter intuitive interface and 'curious' AI Splinter Cell: memory hungry, but nice touches, mouse wheel acceleration technique will confuse all fraggers at first Bloodrayne: patchy, tetchy, buggy but alluring in a way that only a game featuring a pneumatic female vamp in stockings can be... Impossible creatures: the jury's still out Warcraft 3: massive well crafted demo sucks you in Age Of Mythology: If you like the genre, you'll love the little touches like the jumping jackal-headed men of jerusalem and trees that uproot and attack, if not then there's not much here for you |
