Review – Chameleon Twist 2
It's great that Chameleon Twist got a second chance with a sequel. And, credit where it's due, some of the problems of the first game have been ironed out. However, lumpy heads and a generally unpolished feel means that Chameleon Twist 2 doesn't quite elevate the experience quite enough.

Review – Paperboy (N64)
I probably have too many soft spots, but I reserve one of them for the Paperboy series. While the original is best remembered, Paperboy for the N64 has been practically forgotten. However, I find that it has charm of its own to the point where it's worth checking out.

Review – Rampage 2: Universal Tour
It's sometimes the small things that make a sequel so much better than the original. Take Rampage 2, for example. Simply changing it so that lives actually have meaning and you can't just continue indefinitely makes the experience feel a lot more satisfying. Plus, you can still eat people off of toilets.

Review – Star Wars: Episode 1: Racer
Episode I was a travesty, and I accept no arguments. On the plus side, we got some great games. My favourite is Star Wars: Episode I: Racer, based on that stupidly ostentatious scene from the movie. So much suggests this game would be bad, but it's quite the opposite.

Review – Clay Fighter: Sculptor’s Cut
The Clay Fighter efforts aren't great on the SNES, but they have their charm. However, when the series landed on the N64, the clay really hit the fan. High-five to myself for coming up with that analogy. Anyway, they aren't great, and Sculptor's Cut is a pretty solid example of that mediocrity.

Review – Battletanx (N64)
In a world with a glut of tanks and a deficiency in women, one man risks it all to find the woman he loves. Battletanx is as ridiculous as it is awesome. This is one of the best things that 3DO did, and one of the best games on the N64.

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.
