              a copy of<b> Soul Calibur</b> to go along with it. And why the heck 
              wouldn't they? It's quite possibly the best looking game ever made, 
              and it sets new standards for the amount of extras required in home-conversions 
              of fighting games. Top it all off with a really entertaining cast 
              of characters, and you've got a classic in the making.</font></p>

            <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This quirky 
              shooter features Juno, Vela and Lupus the Dog in their quest to 
              save the universe. Sound strange? (Actually, it sounds a little 
              like MDK, doesn't it?) It is, but boy is it fun. The game is played 
              from a third person perspective, and it's huge. Really huge. If 
              you're expecting <b>Tomb Raider</b>, don't even bother...this one's 
              going to take you a looong time to finish. But hey...it's worth 
              it. The game also features a co-op mode, and four player deathmatch.

              Game of the Year: Silent Hill</font></b></p>
            <p align="left"></p>
            <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In a year 
              that <b>Resident Evil 3</b> was released, you wouldn't expect a 
              different survival horror game to take our prize, but here we are. 
              For all intents and purposes,<b> Silent Hill </b>shouldn't have 
              been as good a game as it is. It's totally derivative of<b> Resident 
              Evil</b>, and yet it manages to surpass the game in many ways.<br>
              </font></p>
            <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">For starters, 
              unlike <b>Resident Evil</b>, the game is played in a fully 3D environment, 
              which allows for far more frightening camera movements (although 
              it does, admittedly add in camera issues). The game's story isn't 
              nearly as clich&eacute; as<b> Resident Evil</b>, and the characters 
              are actually fleshed out. Since the game was actually released at 
              the beginning of the year, there's a pretty good chance that you 
              can find it available really cheap at your local store. Check it 
              out...you won't regret it (unless you scare easily). </font></p>

            <p align="left"></p>
            <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">What the 
              heck is wrong with us? <b>Pokemon Pinball</b> won by a virtually 
              unanimous vote. Pretty strange...very strange in fact. This weird 
              little game is essentially just pinball...but it features some genuine 
              innovations by mixing in all those weird little monsters. Is it 
              revolutionary? Heck, no. But at the same time, it is really addicting 
              (especially if played on an Airplane). The rumble feature is annoying, 
              no question about it. But the game itself is fun enough to justify 
              getting the game anyway.</font></p>
