I managed to pick up a copy of Planetside, and I'm happy to say that I've had a ripping fun time.
It can almost be considered a retro RPG game these days where you have a top down view and walk around in the cities buying items, talking to citizens, and furthering the story and getting attacked constantly by enemies once outside the cities.
I, along with thousands of other gamers across the world, have been bitten by the MMORPG bug, and like a bad flu, I don't see the addiction going away for a long, long time.
What it sets out to live up to, it doesn't live up to. A fairly complex watercraft racing game, _Jet X20_ does not fail because it's a bad idea, or because the game didn't receive the love that all good games should.
NFL Gameday '97 uses the same basic game engine as its predecessor, makes a few tweaks, throws in a ton of new options and spits out an amazingly realistic football experience.

Strictly speaking, Core Combat doesn't add much to the Planetside universe.
Just when you thought all of the games with smack-talking mascots were gone, Tiny Tank: Up Your Arsenal comes along and kicks you right where it hurts most--in your funny bone.
The game cuts out all the extras, including storyline and graphically interesting terrain, to create a sometimes annoying and an occasionally brilliant battle for honor and territory.
Well luckily we didn't need much convincing with the preview of Spyro 2 we recently played.
This is the fourth game in SCEI's RPG series Popolocrois (none of which have shown up in the U.S.).
