Review – Bear and Breakfast
Running a chain of hotels while also being a bear is a pretty enticing concept. There's potential for maulings, but the goal is to be a bit more wholesome and relaxing. Weirdly, while Cult of the Lamb is a lot less wholesome, it manages to be more relaxing than Bear and Breakfast.

Review – Army Men: Air Attack (Air Combat)
If someone tells me that there was a game in the Army Men series that they liked, I know it was probably this one. Air Attack borrows heavily from EA's Strike series, while transplanting it to a world of plastic soldiers. It's over pretty quickly, but it's still worth playing.

Review – Mutant Football League
Football is the dumbest of sports. Now that I have your attention, I don't really like football. I've tried. But even the blitziest of Blitzes didn't grab my goat horns. As it turns out, there is a way to get me to play football. Mutant Football League taught me.

Review – Cult of the Lamb
Not only will you get a review of Cult of the Lamb, you'll also get to hear about my family's adjacency and weird run in with an actual scary cult, the Ant Hill Kids. I'm not sure that many critics out there could really provide you with that perspective.

Review – Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
Star Wars and I have a rocky relationship. Had, I should say, it's over now. But back in the day, I was all about that galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader hit before disillusionment set in, but how will I look on it today?

Review – Goldeneye 007 (N64)
Goldeneye 007 is a certifiable classic. It was a phenomenon back when it released. However, for all the things it did extremely well, a lot of it hasn't aged favourably. If any game needs an HD remaster, it's this one. Unfortunately, it looks like we just barely missed out on one.

Review – 007 From Russia with Love
I don't know why more James Bond games haven't gone back to a previous era of the film series, but it's only happened, like, once. That was 007 From Russia With Love featuring Sean Connery. It's an odd choice and an odd game, but not necessarily in a good way.

Review – Actraiser
Having reviewed the remake, Actraiser: Renaissance, I decided to return to the original. Not for comparison's sake, exactly, but because you can never get enough Actraiser. It's a mix of playing god and hitting things with a sword. It's like if SimCity had segments where you play as Michael Myers.

Review – Sparkster (Genesis)
Rocket Knight Adventures has long stood as my favourite game on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The sequels... exist. They're... fine. The Genesis and Super Nintendo versions are completely distinct from each other, but neither of them really capture the magic of the original. Within is the reasons why.

Review – Doom 64
Doom 64 is Doom... On the N64. Except not anymore, and not really. It's actually its own distinct entry in the Doom series, and now you can find it more places than just on the N64. For a console spin-off by a completely different team, it's great beyond all reason and logic.
