Games and Cool Stuff return to our pages while Anime and Sound Space take the week off. Plus, our intrepid reviewer Patrick Lee journeyed to Comic-Con in San Diego, Calif, to give you a sneak peek at Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot. And we have our usual lineup of news and reviews.

ON SCREEN
 Comic book legends Frank Miller and Geof Darrow have teamed up to create the new animated SF series Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, and we have a sneak preview for you.
OFF THE SHELF
 Centaurus takes a look at 20 of the best SF stories from writers who live Down Under, while Walter J. Williams destroys the American heartland in The Rift.
CLASSICS
 In Gregory Benford's classic novel Timescape, scientists from the future try to tell their colleagues in the past how to avert a disaster that will destroy the Earth.
COOL STUFF

GAMES
 The evil cyber-entity SHODAN is back in System Shock II, and this time it has gamers trapped aboard the deadly starship Von Braun.
SITE OF THE WEEK
 Sometimes even we can't figure out what's going on in the epic anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. That's why we've bookmarked Ikari Gendo's Ultimate Neon Genesis Evangelion FAQs Page.
LETTERS
 One reader explains why cloning isn't evil, another wants to know what John Clute means by "philosophy," and it seems like everyone has an opinion about why The Blair Witch Project is--or isn't--a great movie.
