Bruce Jenner's World Class Decathlon

Bruce Jenner's World Class Decathlon http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sports/brucejennersworldcd/index.html As the saying goes, “Tis better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.” Unfortunately, this adage proves appropriate in the case of Bruce Jenner's World Class Decathlon. Avoiding the button-pounding of past decathlon games, WCD uses a combination of mouse clicks to control each event. The good news is this makes each event easier to master; the bad news is that it makes each event far too easy. More harmful to the multi-player elements of the game, it also makes your results far too arbitrary—barring a total screw-up on your part, there's little connection between how you control your competitor and the results on the field. Once you have mastered an event's basic elements, any further success is a total fluke. You find yourself begging for results, rather than feeling that you've done something to deserve them.

Athens 2004

Athens 2004 http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sports/athens2004/index.html When Athens 2004 hit the PlayStation 2 in July of this year, it seemed like a fairly uninspired but somewhat necessary exercise. The summer games had arrived, someone needed to make a new video game following in the tradition of Track & Field, and Eurocom was saddled with the task. Now it's November--time for the heavy winter coats and long nights--and in a rather baffling move, Athens 2004 is just now appearing on the PC. Aside from showing up well after the party is over, Athens 2004 for the PC has been gutted of its four-player support, as well as some of the more enjoyable minigames found in the considerably more relevant PlayStation 2 version.
