Review – Cruis’n USA
One of the games that was supposed to demonstrate the N64's power, Cruis'n USA wasn't the best of the system's early titles. There's something to be said about the optimism of first-generation N64 games, but, unfortunately, there has to be more than that.

Review – Demon’s Crest
This is the oddly named third game in the Gargoyle's Quest series. Demon's Crest ditches the more cartoonish aspects of the previous game and goes full horror. Firebrand is also a hot piece of toast, and people don't read this far down in these excerpts, do they? That would be embarrassing.

Review – Chex Quest
My mother had tight control over the cereal I ate when I was a child. I never got to have Fruity Pebbles or Trix, which I always enjoyed when visiting a friend or relative, but I was allowed to have Sugar Crisp, which is, essentially, the sugariest cereal in the universe, so work that out.

Review – Army Men (PC)
This is where it all started: the OG Army Men for PC. It was a badly needed (modest) hit for 3DO as it transitioned to a software company. But did it start off with a bang? No, not really. It could have been much worse, though, and kind of got there eventually.

Review – Army Men 3D
Army Men had yet to gain its questionable reputation in 1999. It's the year that some of the best titles in the series would hit shelves. Army Men 3D isn't one of those titles. It's not without its merits, but those generally begin and end with "Army Men but in 3D."

Review – Fallout
Like the Grand Theft Auto, Elder Scrolls, and various other series, some people never touched Fallout until the third entry. I was like that. That was me! I've gone back to play the first couple Fallout games, and this time, I'm going to play them to completion.
