Genres:Platform

Story:Spyro: A Hero's Tail is the fifth console game in the original Spyro series and the ninth game in the series in all. Developed by Eurocom, it was the first game in the series for the Xbox, as well as the second game in the series for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube (with the former console release being the only one of the three to support widescreen). It is also the final installment in the original Spyro continuity for home consoles. This is also the first and only Spyro game to be completely produced in Europe.
The game introduces a new antagonist, Red, a former Dragon Elder banished years before the events of the game, and sees the protagonist, Spyro the Dragon, attempt to defeat him with the aid of his best friend Sparx, Hunter the Cheetah, flying penguin Sgt. Byrd, and mole Blink, who are all playable.Show more

This is the best non-Insomniac Spyro game. It's not perfect, Spyro's jumps are floaty and some of the other characters control awkwardly, particularly Blink. On top of that, this game has a few bugs which had me scratching my head as a kid, particularly the map filling bug for Stormy Beach. Despite some of these gripes I have, this 6th gen 3D platformer is a good time. I replayed it as an adult after not having touched it for over a decade and despite not finishing it, I was shocked by how well it held up despite the jankiness, and I actually enjoyed it more as an adult than I did as a kid. I do have to admit though the writing doesn't hold up, these are def 2000s jokes alright.
This game desperately needs a rerelease imo. I think it would be a decent game to play for anyone new to Spyro who liked Reignited and wants more of the purple dragon. I have no idea if we'll ever get a Spyro 4 or not, so I think a rerelease of this game would be a good compromise. A rerelease would also be a great chance to fix some bugs, if possible ofc.

Duke Nukem IIDuke Nukem is back. Captured by an alien foe in the middle of promoting his best-selling book, “Why I’m So Great”, Duke must once more defeat the forces of evil to save himself from the knowledge-stealing Rigelatins, and ultimately prove his book’s namesake. In this sequel to the 1991 high-octane, bot-busting video game, Duke Nukem, the King of Action must blast, cannon, missile and flame his way to victory - a victory that would stop the secrets of both ass-kicking and bubblegum from falling into the wrong hands.Action Science fiction
Over the HedgeIn the video game, which takes place a year after the movie, RJ, Hammy, Verne, and the gang feel that they need to have more things for the log (the area behind the hedge). This leads them on a wild romp through six different areas to snatch different things such as a popcorn machine and a TV for themselves. There are several mini games as bonuses in the game.
All through the game, they try to take these things while avoiding the Sniffer, (Dwayne the Verminator), who tries to defeat them by using mind-controlled vermin he has captured as his "henchmen." At one point, many animals, including weasels, badgers, and even Vincent the bear are controlled.Action Comedy

Deadly CreaturesDeadly Creatures allows players to play as a young male desert hairy scorpion and an adult female tarantula and engage in brutal combat against other arachnids, insects, rats, and reptiles.
The two creatures have different playing styles, with the scorpion's levels featuring more action-oriented gameplay, while the tarantula is more stealth oriented, with less linear levels. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are used for both movement and attacks, with motion controls incorporated for special attacks and finishing moves, while the tarantula also utilizes the pointer function to shoot webs. New abilities are also gained as the player progresses through the game.
Along with dispatching common arthropods such as pill bugs, crickets, beetles, and wolf spiders, most of which can be devoured to regain health, the player also faces bosses including a Gila Monster, a rattlesnake and eventually a human. The clashes between the creatures are described as similar to monster movies, with a similar impact to battles in King Kong and Jurassic Park albeit on a smaller scale.Action Stealth Survival
