War game with intelligent enemies

Article Abstract:

The action Medal of Honor Underground gets high marks for animating the enemy the player encounters to respond in familiar but unique ways. The game is made up of 27 missions set in WWII Europe. The main character is working with the French underground on various assignments around the Mediterranean basin. The game is more challenging than it's shoot'em up brethren because enemy soldiers shoot from around corners, take cover at most any noise, and toss grenades back. The Playstation game, designed for teenagers and up, is realistic without being gory.

Contraptions' hardest puzzle: how to stop

Article Abstract:

Return of the Incredible Machine: Contraptions is out again on the computer game shelves and it is set on boggling and amusing the human mind. Based on the inventions of cartoonist Rube Goldberg, it is the first Incredible Machines game to be released in five years. The object of the game is to combine objects (both strange and ordinary) to complete mundane and deceptively simple task like turning on a light bulb or opening the refrigerator door.
