There’s a new online gaming mag! The Escapist wants to do serious gaming journalism with a polished presentation. There’s something a bit elitist about it (not unlike UK’s printed Edge Magazine), but the effort is commendable and the reading well worth your time. Best of lucks!

Reading the piece about Bungie’s Marathon, I can’t help but remember my impression of that game back in 1995: an ugly doom clone. Apparently, I missed a LOT of great stuff! But hey, it was hard to experience a Mac game – in fact what I saw was the PC port. Seeing the butchery that was the PC version of the awesome Halo (an external work, like Marathon’s port probably was), I am willing to give Marathon the benefit of the doubt.
