The new puzzle game 'Project IGI: I'm Going In' by Eidos looks like a fist-person shooter but requires wit and strategy to solve missions and sneak up on unsuspecting guards. The particular difficulty in 'Project IGI' is the apparent lack of a save feature that, if you 'die', requires going through the entire mission again before advancement. Another puzzle game called 'Star Trek: Away Team' by Activision is a real-life strategy game where you command a group of soldiers through battle in unknown civilizations. Each team member has special abilities that affects how you plan out each mission.

Article Abstract:
Nintendo's new GameCube and Microsoft's new XBox computer-game consoles, due to be introduced next week, are the most powerful consoles to date. The GameCube is a cute purple box whose size belies its enormous power, but makes it easy to throw into a backpack to take to a friend's house. Its games are similarly cute and fun for the family. The XBox is the most powerful home game device ever built, and its games, especially Halo, are impressive. Despite the new consoles' power, however, Sony's PlayStation 2 still has far more visually exciting games, such as Ico and Devil May Cry. The consumer will forfeit something, no matter which of the two new consoles she buys. A hard-core game-player may simply have to buy both.
