On July 20, 2003 three guys created a revolution in sim-racing games. Scawen Roberts, Eric Bailey, and Victor van Vlaardingen decided that they don't need a publisher in order to sell a game. So they began to distribute their game on their website. Using a open-source concept, their game evolved into an online racing simulator, with the help of the fans. However the game contains also single player support where you can play against AI cars, or take driving lessons

In 2003 Ubisoft published a new adventure game called URU: Ages Beyond Myst, which takes place in the Myst universe. This game changed the face of the Myst series which was considered a masterpiece only by the hard-core fans of adventure style. The game surprised by a 3rd person perspective and by a more easy approach of the story. The game received another two add-ons To D'ni and The Path of the Shell.

Known for the new series of UFO (Aftermath and Aftershock), the publisher Cenega will launch a new 3rd person shooter called El Matador. Based on the two official demos, I tried to create myself an impression of what this game can offer.

Heroes of Annihilated Empires is a fantasy-based PC CDROM game, blending the genres of real time strategy (RTS) and role play gaming (RPG). Players experience a living world, rich in magic and heroes; where mighty powers are involved in a global conflict. Huge armies are the forefront of the game, with thousands of troops battling on screen, capturing the feel of hit fantasy movies and their awe inspiring battle sequences. Armies are led into battle by hero characters, which can be focused upon in a RPG gaming style. An extensive arsenal of magic and character upgrades ensures a variety of game play, as players 'mould' their hero, as they accomplish hundreds of quests, both linked to the thrilling main story or side quests.
