  • Ice Breaker - Icebreaker is an easy game to learn, but like every game worth its salt, tough to master. True, the graphics aren't going to win it any awards, but it doesn't need any flash to cover up rotten gameplay like most games out there.
  • POed - If Salvador Dali and Beavis and ButtHead had designed Doom, it probably would have looked a lot like PO'ed. If that sounds like a weird description, well, PO'ed is a weird game. A really weird game.
  • Hell- Hell, which has just recently made the jump from the PC to the 3DO, is a prime example of a great interactive story that falls short due to its lack of player control. In the game, you play two ex-secret agents who are now on the lam as the result of a government set-up.
