Heretic 2 (c) Activision
Percentage of Votes: 27.10%

"After being completely let down by Hexen 2 I wasn't expecting that much out of Heretic 2. Thank god I was wrong because Heretic 2 is one of the most amazing games that I have ever played. Every aspect of the game has been attended to and nothing has been left out."

"If you are new the genre, or don't like it, you still may be surprised by what Descent Freespace has to offer. It seems to be a near-perfect blend of strategic maneuvering and action packed combat."-TraderX

Third Place: Battlezone (c) Activision
Percentage of Votes: 12.22%

"The action is fast paced, with lots of elements of strategy imbedded into the carnage. Do you go straight into the enemy base, or do you duck around behind and sneak in through the back? You have to make many critical decisions like this."-DaxX
