Monsto has been busy over the Christmas period but is working on some more Quake 2 reviews, so please be patient.

I got one email about keeping CTF2 reviews. Does anyone else want MPQ to keep doing CTF2 reviews, email me if you think we should.

I recently heard about something pretty nifty on the Action Quake site. Updates related to the patch are in a normal colour and updates related to non-Action Quake stuff are in black, so the disinterested can ignore it. So what I've done is leave Quake related news in white and put the none-Quake stuff in dark grey. So let the rambling begin...

The saga of the N64 continues. I thought about buying the 4meg memory upgrade for the machine but since, as far as I know, only Turok 2 supports it I'd leave it for now. So I paid ten quid more and bought Dinky Kong Racing. Its a really good game! Its a mix of racing and adventure. In the races you have to find various items, that kind of thing. I'm now getting to grips with the pad and am finding GoldenEye to be an excellent game.

I also recently got hold of a Sound Blaster 128 with the surround sound speaker set up. For a 100 quid you get the card, 4 speakers and a base tube. It actually makes a real difference to games, if you have the spare cash its well worth buying.
