They shoot, they score.

CND may disagree, but you can't beat a good shoot-em-up. That's themessage from the latest games reviews which sees titles such as Descent 2,Duke Nukem 3D, Terminator: Future Shock and Earthsiege 2 getting bigscores.

While bemoaning the long wait for another fast shooter, Top Gun: Fire at Will, the consensus is that it's all going to be worth it, as both PC Zone and PC Gamer give the flight sim-cum-digital movie the big thumbs up.

The use of digital movie pics in games is ever increasing, but don't be fooled. Digital pics don't necessarily make a good game. Police Quest: Swat is a good example. Dismissed by PC Review for being too realistic and therefore tedious to the extreme the game uses live actors over still backgrounds. Not so Top Gun. PC Zone loves it -
