February/March
Monsters
Inc.
Certainly one to take the
kids to, but adults entranced by Toy Story might find it
lacking. However, the animation has come on in leaps and
bounds. Most CGI animators would have drawn the line at
a furry main character (fur being particularly difficult
to convincingly create), but not Pixar.

Black
and White (Mac)
You and your creature
can be as nice or as mean as you want in this 'god
game'. It'll be interesting to see how this conversion
turns out. Black and White was a buggy game on
the PC and the conversion's been done by Feral
Interactive. They did the Theme Park World Mac
post, which I wasn't that impressed with. Let's
hope this is better all round.
