This week on The Free Cheese, in the bag, pig!

We take control of the pink-haired, chomping Tomba to discover a PlayStation adventure that has long invited us into its world. Through our time with it, we explore the twisting, turning map and try to stop the inevitably evil pigs.

This week on The Free Cheese, now we're running the show.

As the WWE series makes its debut on the next generation (in 2006), we see what's different and what this era in simulation wrestling has to offer. We each take on the role of GM and work through a season of broadcast to find a new champion.

This week on The Free Cheese, sorry, but we're not on the menu.

We set a new record for release time to ranking with Resident Evil Requiem, adding it to The List just over a month since its release. We discuss what makes Requiem different while still maintaining the series, how it drives the story forward, and share our favorite one-liners from Uncle Leon.

This week on The Free Cheese, let's push blocks against the current.

We finally explore the depths of the ocean, taking control of Ecco the Dolphin in his titular adventure.

This week on The Free Cheese, pretend it's season 9.

We take a break from the weekly ranking of video games to reflect on the first quarter of the year.

This week on The Free Cheese, there's no movie?

Just in time for the delayed release of the latest 007 video game, we wander back to the early 2000s to explore Agent Under Fire. We discuss the various mission types, how gadgets play into gameplay, and what makes a good James Bond video game. Then, we rank this entry on The List.

This week on The Free Cheese, I'm gonna make these cigarettes disappear.

We take control of Sam and find out what happens when Shinji Mikami directs PlatinumGames' Bayonetta reimagined with some Gears of War. If that sounds like a lot of things happening at once, you haven't played Vanquish.

This week on The Free Cheese, it's kind of like F-Zero but not in zero gravity.

We're traveling back to a peculiar video game entry in the F1 series of video games, where its main developer Codemasters merged the world of F1 with kart racing. Just in time for the start of the season, we take a tour around the world of F1 Race Stars and then rank it on The List.

This week on The Free Cheese, I'm only here for the bumper sticker.

Just ahead of the launch of a long-awaited successor, we check out Bungie's Marathon from 1994 for an introduction to the series and what would inspire not only the upcoming extraction shooter, but what led to the world of Halo.

This week on The Free Cheese, how high can you get?
