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 – 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 – 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.

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 – Clock Tower 3
Clock Tower: Rewind left me primed to jump into Clock Tower 3, only not really. Going into it, one of the few things I knew about Clock Tower 3 is that it isn't related much to the previous games. That much is true, and I'm not sure what it is actually related to.

Review – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3
I don't recall if the buzz around the series was dying down by the time we hit Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. The market was certainly beginning to flood. But regardless of public perception, Neversoft was somehow able to take the same formula and make it even more fun.

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 – Road Trip
Road Trip is a game about ascending in the government ranks by winning a racing championship. Despite that, and despite the fact that Road Trip is based on the Choro Q line of toy cars, this game is more about driving than it is racing. With talking cars, no less.
