3DO coverage in Dec. 1998 Computer Gaming World

Angel of Death: Requiem lets You Smite Your Foes the Old Testament Way
p.45 2/3 of a page on Requiem: Avenging Angel

Holiday Hot 100
Requiem is given number 2 position after Half-Life and before Battlezone. About a 1 column description and a 1/4 page picture.

Might and Magic VI gets the number 1 position in the Role-Playing category before Baldur's Gate, Final Fantasy VII and 2 other mentions.
A page is dedicated to it.

Heroes of Might and Magic III receives (coincidentally) the number 3 spot after Starcraft and Myth II: Soulblighter. 1/3 page dedicated to it.

Gamer's Edge (p.426) dedicates 3 pages to Might & Magic VI

New Ads:
2 page Uprising 2: pretty catchy
1 page ad for Meridian 59 Dark Auspices (I was quite surprised to see this)

3DO coverage in PC Games (December)

Heroes of Might and Magic III foldout ad. Very nice.
Requieme: Avenging Angel 2 page ad
Uprising 2, 2 page ad
Meridian59 Dark Auspices ad ON THE BACK COVER (IMHO, there are better games they should have devoted to that sought after, and costly, back cover page)

1998 Holiday Gift Guide
Heores of M&M III is mentioned under "Desktop General" among 10 other recommendations/descriptions (p.60).
