- Space Hulk - Once again, EA has scored. Space Hulk is a long, involving, and utterly challenging piece of software. It looks incredible, sounds great, and plays smoothly.
- Bladeforce - It looks great, provides virtually complete freedom of movement through its immense levels and will keep you occupied for hours. Make no doubt about it, Studio 3DO has finally come of age. This game rocks.
- Mazer - Overall, American Laser Games may very well have a bright future as they branch away from their traditional live action gun games, but Mazer could have used more care.
- Iron Angel Of The Apocalypse - The Japanese version of Iron Angel was good and the US release is even better. And for those who do make it through the game and enjoyed the journey take heart, the sequel, Tetsujin Returns, is already in production. And I can't wait.
- Ballz - Until M2 comes around, Ball z is the best example of a 3D fighter available on the 3DO. Definitely good stuff all around.
- CPU Bach - If you know someone who already owns it, borrow C.P.U. Bach to see how you like it
