This week on GameSlice Weekly, through October 7th, 1996, CompuServe
members can read:
PREVIEW: World Exclusive First Look at Hexen 2
===============================================
Still basking in the desolate and eerie
environments of Quake? Well, wake up and
smell the rotted corpses, because Quake was only
the first tremor. id Software and Raven
Software team up for our world exclusive first
look at "the one after Quake:" Hexen 2. Read
about the engine, 6 character classes, weapons,
artifacts, and more!
INTERIVEW: Mike Wilson of id Software
================================================
So they're smug -- They can afford to be.
They say that Quake is the best 3D game
ever, and if you don't agree, they don't
care. Find out why id Software calls Quake
the "Ferrari" of games.
REVIEW: Crash Bandicoot for Sony PlayStation
================================================
He's an Austrialian character --
thankfully not voiced by Paul Hogan
and Sony is betting that this marsupial
can help the PlayStation enter the mass
market. Crash Bandicoot tears onto the
PSX, but will he be able to outshine his
arch enemy plumber who hits silicon on
September 29th?
SPEICAL EVENT: Duke Nukem 3D Contest
================================================
Try your luck to see if you can take home
one of 10 copies of the full game, or one
of 5 strategy guides from Sybex, or one of
5 exclusive t-shirts or one of 20 mousepads
from 3D Realms' hottest game of the year.
Only on GameSlice Weekly!
BONUS:
And starting on Monday, September 30th, catch the special added
features:
REVIEW: Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)
===============================================
He's been in a self-imposed siesta for
the past few years, but now Nintendo's
big gun has the weight of the world
on his shoulders. Why? Because he's
supposed to single-handedly launch
Nintendo 64. Is Mario really Super,
or should he start booking appointments
to start fixing toilets again?
PREVIEW: Pandemonium! (PlayStation)
===============================================
Nikki and Fargus, two outlandish and mystical
3D wireframes, get the polygon treatment in
Crystal Dynamics' hot new 3D action adventure.
If Crash Bandicoot was a little bit of country,
Pandemonium! is certified rock and roll.
