Speaking of Rugrats, saw this in the "L.A. Times" Gamer's Corner: >>"The Rugrats Movie" Dressing up a mediocre title with popular characters from other media is nothing new in the video game business. It helps explain games like "Judge Dredd" or "Die Hard Trilogy." Or, more recently, "The Rugrats Movie," a Game Boy Color title more from the mind of a marketer than the heart of a game developer. This side-scroller follows the Rugrats babies through an adventure to find the missing Dil Pickles. Fair enough. Good games have been based on less. Yet despite some impressive color graphics, "The Rugrats Movie" slogs through level after level with little pleasure. Characters move too slowly and are awkward to control. Too much of the play is repetitive--even with a couple of top-down racing-style levels. It's tough to imagine even the biggest Rugrats fan finding much joy in this simple cog of a cynical merchandising machine. << latimes.com Saw some positive comments on Breakneck demo (Published by THQ developed by Synetic), but they said it would be a U.K. release. Is this a racing sim in the same genre as Felony Pursuit? avault.com Ultimate 8-Ball for psx on June 16th. Andrew
