Heroes of Might and Magic IV + All Expansions
Heroes of Might and Magic IV
NHL 2008
EA’s NHL 07 redefined the hockey genre with one simple feature, the skill stick. Though the game had few modes and several artificial intelligence issues, its star play mechanic worked brilliantly, and created a great rebuilding point for the franchise. As you would expect from a follow-up, NHL 08 takes what 07 did and stacks a bunch of improvements on top of it. The AI has been thoroughly reworked, so it now looks and feels much, much more like the real-life sport. Throw in some balance improvements to the skill stick, a gaggle of new online modes, and an improved dynasty mode, and you’ve got an all-around great hockey game.
Star Wars Jedi Knight 3 Jedi Academy
There are dozens of Star Wars games on the market, but none captures the excitement of lightsaber combat as well as the Jedi Knight games. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is the third game in the series, or, technically, the fourth if you count 1995’s Dark Forces, which didn’t bear the Jedi Knight name (and didn’t let you use lightsabers or Force powers, either). It is not a revolutionary product–as it uses the same Quake III engine and gameplay elements as last year’s well-received Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. It manages to take all the fun parts from its predecessor and greatly expands them to create an engaging, new action game in its own right.
Women’s Murder Club Death in Scarlet
Women’s Murder Club: Death in Scarlet is a unique blend of seek and find, light adventure and puzzle games combined with an all new tale from America’s #1 storyteller, James Patterson. In this thrilling “page turner” of a game, players take on the roles of homicide detective Lindsay Boxer, medical examiner Claire Washburn, and ace crime reporter Cindy Thomas to solve a series of ghastly murders in San Francisco.
The Clumsys 1.0.0.8
Tim and his mischievous friends got themselves into quite a pickle when they discovered Grandpas latest invention, The Time Machine. Help Grandpa track down 20 kids lost in time and clean up any traces they left behind. Who knows what kind of chain reaction a toy car could cause in the year 200BC.
Max Payne 2
In 2001, Max Payne arrived to set the benchmark for action gaming, earning
countless awards and revolutionizing the genre with cinematic combat
sequences fuelled by the groundbreaking use of slow motion and compulsive
narrative-driven gameplay. Now, working together with Rockstar Games\’
New York-based production team, Remedy has combined Max Payne\’s hallmark
gameplay with all new innovations and unmatched production values.

Mass Effect
One of last year’s most acclaimed role-playing games, Mass Effect, originally made its debut on the Xbox 360 console and is now headed for the PC with new improvements and accoutrements that are intended to make the game a true PC experience rather than a stripped-down port. We recently had a chance to check in with the game to briefly try out the game’s enhanced combat options, as well as to see some of the new interface and control scheme in action. For those who haven’t yet played Mass Effect, please be advised that this preview may contain minor spoilers.
