- Post a comment EuroGamer has a shufti at Virgin's E3 line-up with literally
dozens of new screenshots as well as mini-previews of several of their leading games.
Although Maelstrom (PS2,XBox) was first unveiled a few days ago, the arrival of E3 has resulted in a barrage of new screenshots and artwork from the game, Top Gun (PS2), inspired by the movie of the same name will include three seperate time periods ranging from the early 1970s through to the present day, it doesn't stick too closely to the plot of the film, although you can play as any of the main characters - Maverick, Jester, Iceman and Viper.Lotus Challenge (PS2, XBox) will include the Lotus 7 (driven by Patrick McGoohan in cult classic TV series The Prisoner) as well as the better known Esprit and Elise, and even some of the old Formula One cars designed by the now defunct Lotus Grand Prix team. Virgin's other big racer is Downforce (PS2), which follows a more traditional format by presenting you with a series of tracks to race around, each with two or more routes to take through them.
