Gore, an online-only shooter being released with
Tribes 2 released the last year. In addition to last year, EA just released the definitive edition of
Shogun: Total War with all of the DLC and version exclusive features. That same year, Disney released
Atlantis: Search for the Journal, which you can only acquire through cereal box CDs or download from the net. And, next year, 2003, you get the first online edition of
Halo: CE, in addition to Techland releasing
Chrome (a precursor to
Crysis).
