Midway Gamers' Day
Previews, screens, movies, and more from Midway's recent press event.
By Raymond Padilla & Ryan O'Donnell | March 3, 2004

Midway recently held an event to show off its 2004 lineup. The company is headed in a much different and much better direction this year. Gone are the days of Freaky Flyers and Dr. Muto, and in are edgy action games like NARC, unique stealth-action games like Psi-Ops, and ridiculously smooth arcade-sports titles like NBA Ballers. The company's future is looking bright, but the best is yet to come. Midway showed a teaser of the next Mortal Kombat and talked a bit about John Romero's (remember him?) work on the next Gauntlet.

There are oodles of goodies for you to check out. We have previews of upcoming titles, tons of screens, great movies, impressive presentations, and a special video of what Psylancer really does when he's at a press event. Soak it all in!

Previews

NARC (PS2/Xbox)
This ain't the arcade game you pumped hundreds of quarters into in 1988. The new version of NARC features frenetic action where drugs can actually help you.

Area 51 (PS2/Xbox)
Even with the flood of first-person shooters set to release in 2004, Midway's latest entry into the genre is shaping up to be one of the most impressive.

- Ryan O'Donnell

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy (PS2/Xbox)
Solid Snake can't touch Nick Scryer. Find out how this game's hero makes for a radically different stealth-action game thanks to his considerable mental powers.

MLB SlugFest: Loaded (PS2/Xbox)
Play ball! And then kick some butt! And charge the mound! Midway's crazy baseball game is back, but this time you can play online and manage a franchise.
