Evil stalks these all-too-familiar streets

Article Abstract:

In these two survival-horror action games, the player assumes the character of the protagonist making their way through different levels of play. As the game progresses, players accumulate powers and weapons they need to battle the monsters. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is similar to its two previous versions. Besides a better graphics engine, the game allows users to vary the story line. Squaresoft's Parasite Eve II requires users to employ role-playing game strategies to advance past each monster. Of the two games, Parasite seems fresher.

Where life's just one puzzle after another

Article Abstract:

In LucasArt's Escape From Monkey Island, the player guides the character Guybrush Threepwood through another series of tasks and puzzles. In this latest installment of the Monkey Island series, the pirate Guybrush's main objective is to save the island from the clutches of developer Ozzie Mandrill. The puzzles that advance the play strike a good balance between difficulty and simplicity. Despite some navigation and image glitches, the game overall is well rendered and entertaining.
