Boot Disk: Fallout 2



Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!


The Fallout series is a highly esteemed one in the annals of role-playing game history, and for good reason. They presented one of the first cohesive non-fantasy worlds to explore and manipulate, and were extremely open-ended. Fallout is still considered one of the best CRPGs of all time, alongside other classics such as Baldur's Gate 2. It's sequel may not be as fondly remembered, but it's still a great game, and exemplifies all of the things that Black Isle did right with the Fallout series. Fallout 2 is now available through a number of channels, and is a must play for any fan of role-playing games.

Review: Tropico 3


Players with a knack for micromanagement and looking for a big power trip may be interested in Tropico 3. In this third installment, like its predecessors, players take the role of a national leader, El Presidente, of a tropical island. Under your direction, the tiny nation needs build up an economic infrastructure from practically nothing, tend to the needs of its citizens, and get out from under the shadow of influence of superpowers like the United States and the USSR. However, being a national leader takes more than tending the peoples' every whim. In order to get a high score, players will need to skim a little here and there to put away for a retirement fund. Balancing power between what's good for your nation and what's good for you will be a constant act as the game progresses.

Cities XL video teaches the basics of online multiplayer

While the previous Cities XL gameplay video dealt primarily with covering the basics and a largely single-player experience, this one deals with the dynamics of building your dream city online with other players. Players will influence the development of neighboring cities in the online game by making an impact on the global economy. Additionally, players are free to socialize with each other and visit each other's cities. If that weren't enough, players can pool their resources and collaborate to build a mega structure, like the Statue of Liberty, and receive all the fame and benefits it brings, making Cities XL much more than just a city management game. However, features that don't appear to be included in the game are interplanetary trade (you can pick one, but you'll have to stay there) and raising a military to take territory or resources by force. Maybe that'll all come with the expansion.

Review: Red Faction Guerrilla


Volition has been hard at work on their Saint's Row series for their past few years. They recently returns to one of their flagship franchises with a new game, however, and Red Faction Guerrilla is that game. By initial accounts and over-quick judgements, one might think that it is poor, given the delay in release as well as the knowledge that it is a port of a console game. Thankfully, Red Faction Guerrilla surpasses these two premature gaffes and sets itself as easily the best entry in the series. This is not jsut a console port, it's a vast improvement on everything that the original series set out to do, and is one of best times you can ever have in a sandbox game.
