Review – Army Men Advance
The first Army Men title to hit the GBA, Army Men Advance stood out because of a unique art style. However, 2001 was deep in the series' worst era, and while some games from that time broke the mold, this isn't one of them.

Review – Spy Hunter (Console, 2001)
Suffer a tale of hormones. Learn of the shocking link between Spy Hunter (2001) and Beetle Adventure Racing. See a review score. It's all here in this nail-biting look at Midway's attempt at refreshing an (at that point) 20-year-old arcade game.

Review – Stranglehold
Ever watched Hard Boiled? I haven't. But while Stranglehold is billed as something of a sequel to that movie, I'm not sure knowledge of its plot is really necessary. Regardless, we all love firefights full of slow motion and rib-breaking dives.

Review – Seek and Destroy (PS2)
Conspiracy Entertainment’s spree of localization of the Choro-Q series is bizarre. Choro-Q is a brand of toy car. In North America, they were sold as Penny Racers, but I honestly don’t remember ever seeing them in my childhood. However, I guess they have some manner of ubiquity in Japan, since there was a series of games based on them until…

Review – Crazy Frog: Arcade Racer (PS2)
I'm sorry if I just reminded you that Crazy Frog exists. If you're not aware, it was an explosive fad in the '00s centred around an annoying thing with his dick out. Crazy Frog Arcade Racer cuts out the dick, but it's still very, very annoying.

Review – Naval Ops: Warship Gunner
A few years ago, I reviewed Waves of Steel, which is an interesting little naval combat game that gets kind of weird. Totally recommend it. But when that review went up, a community member told me that it’s a spiritual follow-up to Naval Ops: Warship Gunner and its sequel, Warship Gunner 2. “Alright,” I thought. “Probably like Naval Ops: Warship…

Review – The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
When The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion launched in 2006, it was a big deal. The new console generation had just been ushered in by the Xbox 360, and the promised new experiences that the hardware enabled were coming out of the gate. Oblivion showed off lush forests like we’d never seen before, and that’s all I needed to know. More…

Review – Mafia
Open-world crime games are hardly uncommon. Even when Mafia was released in 2002, it wasn't breaking new ground. But it found success where few games at the time did: a slavish dedication to detail.

Rescued Kusoge – Join me on my quest to see nipples in BMX XXX
I had a long running column during my time at Destructoid, but the new owners delisted one of them. Probably because of the title, but that's dumb anyway. So my lost Weekly Kusoge article on BMX XXX is here now. As always, their loss is your gain.

Review – WWF Betrayal
The Monday Night War had just wrapped up, the WWF had reached new heights, we'd just seen some of the best wrestling games of all time hit the market, and Wayforward released one of its own. That's a great build up, it's just too bad WWF Betrayal is garbage water.
