Sydney 2000, Desktop Computer

The Olympics make an appearance but once every four years, and the year 2000 is one of those years. Now, track and field events have had such popularity that there have been a number of video game conversions dating as far back as video games go. To tie in with the Sydney 2000 Olympics, the official game of the summer Olympics, Sydney 2000 makes its arrival on PC. There are twelve gruelling events to strive over; including the quick paced 100m sprint and the notoriously hard weight lifting contest. While there are only a few controls to set your world record with, each and every event has its own unique method of control. Some events involve simple button-bashing power, while others require precise timing to achieve the best scores. All of these events can be practised in Sydney 2000's in-game gym. Once you feel confident enough to take on the events of the stadium, you can choose to participate in a quick arcade mode or a full on Olympic style challenge. Sydney 2000 is well-timed video game tie-in, and while it doesn't have the pure playability of Konami's International Track and Field, it is a good game nonetheless.

Project Eden
Well, it makes a change from doing another Tomb Raider game.

Halo: Combat Evolved
For over 18 months, Halo has been the subject of many a discussion, most often being heralded as the number one game in a growing line up of must-have Xbox exclusives. Contrary to that point, however, has always been the fact that the game would eventually make its way over to the PC, sooner or later. Well, later, as the case may be, this has now happened, thanks to the boffins at Gearbox. Halo on...
Pro Rally 2001
Codemasters' Colin McRae Rally games are known to be the best of their kind, and to surpass them, at least in terms of game mechanics, is going to take some doing. But there is competition, and Ubi Soft's bid to take the virtual rallying crown is Pro Rally 2001 for PC. In terms of game structure and design, Pro Rally 2001 performs admirably. 15 officially licensed cars that range from Group N Kit ...
Big Brother Series 2: The Game
I don't know about you good folks who are taking the time to read this, but the 2001 version of the Big Brother TV series is a bit of a disappointment. After the sheer novelty of Channel 4 allowing us what seemed like too much, albeit entertaining, access first time around, this year's model is a damp squib. For heaven's sake, stop arguing and let's have some love interest, hetero, homo or lesbian...
