Half-Life: The Opera

Half-Life: The Opera

Platform: PC
July 8, 2001
The Opera is a total conversion (TC) for Half-Life, created by the Redeemed Assasins. It's aim is to give the multi-player first person shooter genre a new lease of life, by moving the emphasis from the usual jump and strafe fests to style and accuracy. The Opera takes its inspiration from the kind of films pioneered by John Woo, collectively known as Hong Kong Blood Operas. In this vision, the emphasis is on how you kill, not just how many. If you've ever wanted to dive over the counter of a bar, twin Berettas in hand, if you've dreamt about somersaulting over your enemies head, before blowing them away with your shotgun, if you've longed for the ability to back-flip of walls and kick people through a plate-glass window, you should care. This TC is for people who prefer brains to brawn. Style to endless amounts of lead. Not just getting another frag, but looking good while you do it. IF you watched The Matrix, and thought, "I wish I could do that," you can now.

Reader Rabbit Kindergarten

Reader Rabbit Kindergarten

Platform: PC
June 22, 2001
Reader Rabbit Kindergarten is an educational adventure game based on the characters from the popular and long-running series of learning games for young children, Reader Rabbit. Intended for children ages 3-6, the game is designed to teach basic skills to prepare kids for success in kindergarten and provide a foundation for further learning. The game's main character, Reader Rabbit, and his sidekick, Sam the Lion, are flying their airship over a new island when they are mysteriously captured by a giant bubble wrap. They then come to realize they have landed in Balloon Town, an island made of balloons where all sharp objects including their airship are locked away in a palace. In order to free their airship and continue on their journey, they must first gain access to the palace by helping the band wake-up the sleeping bull in front of the palace. To do this they must gather the 5 different instruments for the band that have been scattered around Balloon Town. In order to receive an instrument, players must help Reader Rabbit and Sam in a series of educational mini-games designed to teach kids basic skills such as memory, recognizing patters, simple math, phonics, rhyming, following directions and placing items in order. All mini-games have simplistic point-and-click controls using the Nintendo DS touch screen interface. Once players have retrieved all of the instruments and gained access to the palace, they must complete two more mini-games (a listening comprehension/sequencing game and a reading skills game) before gaining access to their airship so they can continue on to a new adventure. The game is presented in a colorful cartoon style with short videos, full voice acting, and sing-along songs designed to engage young children while still teaching basic skills. Players will be able to adjust the difficulty level of all mini-games independently which can add hours of replay value.

Wait a minute! A first-person shooter from Disney? A sign of the apocalypse? Oh, I get it. A family values-friendly, generally non-violent FPS (if that's possible) employing tools instead of weopons, following the same events as the upcoming movie, and combining traditional and computer-based animation styles.

Aargon Deluxe

Aargon Deluxe

Platform: PC
May 8, 2001
The Mind Twisting Puzzle Game Sequel To Aargon. It seemed so simple at first, but now you'd like to send the white beam to the right, using your three way splitter merger with a back reflection. If only that anti-light coin wasn't in the way! Maybe if you used the color converter and changed that blue beam to a red one? But then how will you keep that mine confined with only 3 mirrors and no way to turn the red beam? Once again you must try to decipher the subtle hints left in the coin layout to complete the system. This time things are a little different though. You have to deal with those black coins, and think about reflecting light back. You can change colors on the fly, and some mirrors aren't quite the way they use to be. With the full version of Aargon Deluxe you can access all of Aargon Deluxe's Levels, the full tutorial, and the complete level editor. For first time players of Aargon consider the Gold edition and receive all of the Aargon 1 levels for a total of over 240 levels!
