1998: EA releases Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit for PC in the US. Run from the cop, or be the cop. (Insert obligatory donut or swine reference here).

2004: Capcom releases Under the Skin for PS2 in the US. I've never played this game, but from what I understand, there is a fundamental contradiction occurring (too much Phoenix Wright II this weekend, sorry). One one hand, Under the Skin has robots, zombies, ninjas, Nazis, and aliens all in one game. On the other hand, it isn't the greatest title of all time. I'm at a loss. Mark Wilson
