*A question of Specs - Small interview on the Ironblood preview with Taketwos Rick Hall, he gets asked about if the M2 is 7-10 times more powerful than the PSX or 4 times more than the N64, he states that all hardware developers overstate their capabilities for marketing, and he feels its at least 3-4 times more powerful than the PSX, but cant confirm about the N64 as he doesn't know anyone that has access to it. He also states that developers only got the M2 Dev kits last month and polygon wise, it could potentially hit the million polygons stated, but they have been achieving themselves 350k-500k (Page 8)

*Snow Job - Overall, the sex and drugs and violence is the lightest of realistic patinas on this innovative adventure. Despite the 15 rating, it's difficult to see anyone who could master the interface being offended by the content.
*Olympic Soccer - A whole host of neat touches make for an irresistible game of footie. Euro '96, pah, it's Olympic Soccer that's the real competition!
*Johnny Bazookatone - Bazookatone is, in playability terms, painfully tone deaf and only the most hardened platform addicts will gain much joy from it.
*Iron Angel The Return - All of the game's energy and interest is in the FMV, with gameplay reduced to a poorly thought out pause between the next bravura cinematic.
*The Perfect General - Grim persistence makes the game somewhat easier and most scenarios are commendably brief - a sharp contrast to Panzer General's epic challenge - but it still remains solidly unenjoyable.
*Defcon 5 - Defcon 5 demands attention and experimentation few will be prepared to invest.

Reviews

Game Title Publisher Reviewer Pages Pg No(s) Rating
Olympic Soccer Panasonic Mark Wynne 2 12-13 5
Iron Angel The Return Panasonic Stuart Wynne 2 14-15 2
  • Olympic Soccer - A whole host of neat touches make for an irresistible game of footie. Euro '96, pah, it's Olympic Soccer that's the real competition!
  • Iron Angel The Return - All of the game's energy and interest is in the FMV, with gameplay reduced to a poorly thought out pause between the next bravura cinematic.
