Review – Hoshi wo Miru Hito
I’ve spent quite some time mired in the sticky pits of kusoge. Crap games are becoming an area of expertise for me. That’s not simply to say that I know of a lot of bad games, but rather that I know how to appreciate them. That’s right. Did you know you can enjoy bad games? Not just in an ironic…

Review – Army Men: Major Malfunction
After 3DO went bust, Global Star obtained the rights to Army Men and passed development off to Team17. Yes, that Team17. However, I can't stress enough: 3DO's developers weren't the problem.

Review – Army Men: World War: Land Sea Air

Army Men Sarge's Heroes 2 on the N64 was a few steps away from being a great thing, but then veered off course and landed in Sucksville. However, there was a PS2 version, so maybe it fixes the flaws. Nah, it would take more than extra horsepower to fix this.

Review – Superman (N64)
Recently, when I was making a purchase at a game store, the clerk told me that if I spent $15 more, I’d get a free t-shirt. After a brief search, I brought to her an N64 game that fit the price requirements. She looked at what I had placed on the counter, then back at me with concern in her…
