First person shooter (FPS) fans may have been

show. But a few new exciting
FPS titles are recently avail
able. Of note is Deus Ex, a
crossbreed FPS with strong
adventure and RPG themes
created by the well-known
producer Warren Spector

System Shock). Spector
produced Deus Ex for John Romero’s (Doom and Daikatana) ailing
development house, Ion Storm, and the lackluster performance of
Romero’s Daikatana puts the pressure on Spector to deliver the
goods. Deus Ex has received mixed reviews thus far: its appeal lies
in addictive conspiracy theory game play (a new recruit to UNATO
finds himself in a futuristic equivalent of the X-Files crossed with
The Matrix). It has a strong story line, but somewhat bizarre Al
(artificial intelligence). Gamers’ opinions are split—some love it,
some hate it. (Deusex.com, $42.49.)
Strange as it sounds, killer clowns are on the 3D shooter rampage in Third Law’s
homage to Todd McFarlane comic books and a '70s glam-rock band—KISS: Psycho
Circus-The Nightmare Child. A deep story
line is not to be had here, but macabre
gloomy level designs sprinkled with an
intermittent Kiss song create a good shoot

that there’s life in the LithTech yet. The game
is hardly a classic, but this first issue from the Gathering of Developers (GoD) publishing
house will tide gamers over until the next big title. (3rdlaw.com/psycho, $31.49).
More good news for FPS fans: Monolith remains afloat. The company was hit hard by
its poor handling of a buggy Blood 2 release, which they abandoned without proper sup
port. Monolith is on the way back, with a new FPS title that looks drop-dead gorgeous on
the LithTech 2 engine. In collaboration with FOX Entertainment, Monolith is in the finish
ing stages of No One Lives Forever, a ’60s spy story complete with classy heroine, oper
ative Cate Archer. Her background
story reads more like Nikita, but the
atmosphere, gameplay and level
designs are true Austin Powers (or
James Bond if you prefer). Having
viewed a demonstration of the title
this spring, I can tell you it’s one of
the games I’m most excited about.
