Well I don't know where I have been for the past couple of days but I only just found out that The Game Review will be returning for summer (northern hemisphere).

Well it's official, the respected oldschool utility group Sodom is dead. After a great deal of internal conflict within the group all the council members called it quits. This caused a domino type effect resulting in the affiliated sites to leave and then eventually most of the members. It's a terrible way for a group to go and we wish Saint Tok the best of luck in his real life pursuits.

We havn't seen a race like this between two major games groups for a while. This time it was Class vs Razor 1911 battling it out with M1 Tank Platton 2 by Microprose. Unfortunatly for Class, Razor had a major head start and managed to bet them on almost all the major sites. But that didn't keep Class down for long for no sooner did they loose this release they came back with Die By The Sword (c) Interplay.
