The PC port of Destruction Derby is quite good, Wipeout and Assault Rigs are not. But the games "cannot be beat"? Wipeout is good, DD and Assault Rigs are yawn-a-thons. Staying away from console ports should be a rule, why get one of those when you can get a game made specifically for the PC's abilities? Duke Nukem, Wing Commander IV, etc. And Creature Shock and Journeyman Project?!? ROTFL! Creature Shock is a streamed-video off of CD game, worthless. JourneyMan project is years old, it's a slow moving point and lick adventure you twit. And who cares about Descent when PC users are playing Descent _2_ right now in 640*480? How that modem play coming on the PSX? How about editing levels? How's the control with that gamepad? Yep, always wait for the PSX version eh? Idiot.
