No One Lives Forever Prequel Unveiled

Posted by simoniker on from the screenshots-galore dept.

Thanks to GameSpy.com for their hands-on preview of the PC FPS, Contract J.A.C.K., the prequel to Monolith's critically acclaimed but disappointingly selling No One Lives Forever series. According to the preview, "..the expansion has opted for a male hero, more action and less stealth, and a bit of de-emphasis on the campy 60's feel.. you play Jack - 'just another contract killer' - who's been hired by the nefarious H.A.R.M. to help with a little problem." Contract J.A.C.K. will retail as a stand-alone game for an expansion-pack price (around $30) when it launches in October - could this be the title to finally turn the public on to the NOLF games?

  1. Mac performance by boomerny · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I always thought this looked like an interesting game, but I read in a review that performance was less than stellar(Mac version). They were using an iMac G4@800mhz(well above the stated requirement of a 350mhz G3), so I'm afraid my old Pismo 400 would have problems running it. Unfortunately without a demo to try it out first I have no choice but to pass on this one. Why don't companies just make demos of everything? If there were an Xbox port I'd rent it.
