The anticipation's building for Sega's Dreamcast launch next month, and in this week's Future Gamer you can read all about their new tie in with media heavyweights Sky. Not everyone's having a wonderful time though, as Sony announce that one of their most eagerly awaited titles, Gran Turismo 2, has been delayed. That news won't worry Game Boy Color owners though, because news reaches us that one of the first laser disc arcade games, Dragon's Lair (yup, the one with Dirk the Daring) is coming to their machine. The details of Core's Tomb Raider 4 have started to leak out and last week we asked for your opinions on the whole TR experience. This week we've gathered up a handful of your thoughts - check them out, they make interesting reading. If you haven't been to the Future Gamer website for a while, get along there and you can find out about the Future Gamer Network. We want to build an ever-growing network of quality gaming websites to which we can refer our readers. Future Gamer's going from strength to strength - become a part of it. Enjoy the magazine. Oh, and Happy Birthday to me! Andy Smith - Editor

In this issue:
Preview: Expendable (Dreamcast) The software's starting to roll out for next month's launch and one of the first titles available is this blast 'em up. Future Gamer get to grips with an early version of one of the first games to show the new machine's graphics abilities.
Review: Unreal Tournament (PC) The Next Big Thing has arrived. Just when you thought you'd never need to buy another first-person shooter for your PC, along comes Unreal Tournament. It's the new benchmark and it's the only serious competition Quake III's going to face.
Feature: Armageddon When gamers' Judgement Day comes, who's going to be left standing? Will PC owners be able to outwit the impatient console generation, or will the console faction be too quick for the widget-obsessed PC owners? Tim Smith takes a wry look into the future.
