Wipeout 3
Genre: Racing
Developer: Psygnosis
Playstation
Wipeout has always been a
fun Playstation series and the
newest title does not disappoint
— too much.
The biggest drawback of Wipe
out is the lack of available tracks to
race. There are only four main
tracks and secret extra tracks must
be found. The tracks in Wipeout 3
are better than those in the previ
ous two titles of the series. Some
are dark and confusing and others
integrate vertical elements into the
courses well.
It is easier to crash against the
walls in this version than in Wipe
out XL, and this new version does
have a split screen two-player op
tion. excellent visual design and a
killer soundtrack. There is also an
elimination game which is a battle
royale between racers.
Wipeout 3 still delivers fast and
fun futuristic sled racing that is
miles ahead of the competition.
But because of the limited number
of tracks available to the player at
the beginning of the game, this one
is more of a renter than a keeper.

Thousand Arms
Genre: RPG/Dating
Simulation
Developer: Atlus
Playstation
— Kyle Whitacre
Thousand Anns must be one
of the most interesting video
game concepts ever released.
The game revolves around a
stereotypical RPG engine with a
twist — a major part of the game
is becoming a gigolo.
The main character, Meis, is a
sex-starved warrior and blacksmith
who hits on any female in sight. In
order to create a more powerful
sword to fight enemies with, Meis
must “forge” better weapons by us
ing the females found in the game.
A female who finds Meis adorable
will forge a better weapon for him
to use against the various monsters
in the game.
In order to get the female to
like Meis, he must date them, buy
them presents and put up with all
their nagging, just like real life
dating situations. The pseudo
dates take place at designated
“date spots” where Meis and the
female engage in conversation,
which in relationship terms
means listening to the female
ramble on and selecting the cor
rect response from a predeter
mined list of approved phrases.
When prompted wtii
tion, Meis has a choiceoli
swers to give (if only real
