We'd be downright cheesed if you watched our full, commentated playthrough of the game here: youtube.com/watch?v=93F6VdzQ…
'Cheesy' released on this day in 1996.
An oddball 2.5D platformer for the PS1 (originally intended for the Atari Jaguar), starring a stressed-out mouse with a gun for an arm. Released to negative reviews, mostly honing in on its poor controls and pesky perspective issues.
'Blackwater' released on this day in 2011.
An utterly shameless propaganda piece developed on behalf of the world's most notorious PMC (who'd rebranded before the game launched). Controlled by means of the Kinect, further adding to the tactical realism of committing war crimes.
Our October edition of "F(r)ight Night" is up now on YouTube! Will our combatants survive this assortment of slap-em-ups, or will they succumb to the spookiness? youtu.be/HT9HY3-MF3c
Tuck into a slice of cake and tune in to our full playthrough here. Be warned that you might accidentally wind up finding this game charming: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
'Skyscraper' released on this day in 2008.
A budget FPS take on 'Die Hard' with a vision-impaired chemist dweeb for a protagonist, by way of the developers behind 'Beverly Hills Cop' on PS2 -- published by no less than shovelware titans Midas Interactive.
You can open up Pandora's Box and watch our playthrough here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
'Legendary' released on this day in 2008.
One of a small handful of titles published by the short-lived Gamecock Media Group. An FPS which pits you against mythological creatures, dismally muddy visuals, and an endless procession of mindless combat encounters.
The first episode of our 'From Dusk Till Dawn' playthrough is up now on YouTube! Tune in for the history behind this curious tie-in game, experiments in slow motion, and more vampires than you can shake a stake at. youtu.be/g3c3ps3I2Cc

You can watch us play through the game in full (as well as walk folk through how to properly configure the game for themselves) as part of our "Painful Paintball Games!" video: youtube.com/watch?v=qf88hzqx…
(In)famously features a soundtrack by musician Todd Duane, consisting of supposed "demo" tracks that had been submitted for the company's approval -- intended to be finished later. This never came to pass.
Todd later released the same demos as an album. youtube.com/watch?v=VLBxESMl…
‘Extreme Paintbrawl’ released on this day in 1998.
Marketed as "The First Non-Violent 3D Shooter." Reportedly developed in just two weeks time, and leveraging a half-functional version of the Build engine that functions exclusively within MS-DOS running on Windows 95.
'Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green' released on this day in 2005.
An underwhelming tie-in game to the underwhelming Romero zombie flick. Suffers from monotonous combat, braindead enemy AI, and haphazard level design. Its multiplayer mode did manage some longevity on PC.
A new episode of "Bad Game Chance Time" is up now on YouTube! In space, no one can hear Owen Wilson screaming in Tibet. youtu.be/Ds6hrlERioc
'Skull Island: Rise of Kong' released on this day in 2023.
Developed in a year's time by a studio working on behalf of GameMill, clearly hoping to capitalize on Kong's modern film resurgence. Widely mocked for its poor presentation, sub-par gameplay, and litany of glitches.
In truth, I think the game is mostly fine: It's neat to revisit those classic films as Daniel Craig Bond, even if some of the choices are questionable. ('Die Another Day?' Really?)
The biggest criticism should be the fact that its PC release has completely broken mouse input.
'007 Legends' released on this day in 2012.
Activision's final title with the James Bond license. Intended to serve as a celebration of the film franchise's 50th anniversary - reinterpreting past movies as missions - the game was slammed as a half-hearted "Call of Duty clone."
Our playthrough of 'Jumper: Griffin's Story' for Nintendo Wii is up now on YouTube! *Teleports behind you* Psssh... Nothin' personnel... kid... youtube.com/watch?v=vdZzQUJr…
