Army Men: Green Rogue (Army Men: Omega Soldier in Europe for the PlayStation) is a shoot 'em up video game developed and published by The 3DO Company for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation.
The game takes the form of top-down, forward scrolling shoot 'em up in the vein of Commando or Ikari Warriors . [2] Unlike those games it features a 3D environment with polygonal enemies, instead of 2D sprites, and the screen is constantly scrolling forward. [3]
Green Rogue was a newcomer in a long line of army men games from 3DO, many aimed at an arguably undiscriminating juvenile audience, with fair to middling critical responses. Despite that, Green Rogue featured some atypical gameplay, including multiple upgradeable weapons with nine levels of potency, a "biostrike" smart bomb, and a supersoldier mode. However, as lamented by one of the game's designers, [4] some of that gameplay may have been overlooked by reviewers.

The PlayStation 2 version received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [5]
David Chen of NextGen called it "a harmless enough diversion, but there are better ways to spend your time." [14] David Smith of IGN complimented the FMV opening but added that once the opening movie ended the quality took "what Bill Hicks called 'a real big @#$%in' dropoff.'" He continued that everything in the game was sluggish. [2] Tim Tracy of GameSpot was complimentary of the graphics, saying the game carried "some fairly smooth and detailed textures and is a decent game to look at", but was critical of the gameplay particularly collision detection and the constantly scrolling play field which he found made it difficult to manoeuvre to pick up power-ups and dodge enemy attacks. [3] Human Tornado of GamePro said, "On the whole, Green Rogue is a disappointing member of the PS2's first wave of Army Men games. It's too slow to be a challenge, and the graphics don't live up to 128-bit expectations." [18] [lower-alpha 2]

4x4 Evo is a video game developed by Terminal Reality for the Windows, Macintosh, Sega Dreamcast, and PlayStation 2 platforms. It is one of the first console games to have cross-platform online play where Dreamcast, Macintosh, and Windows versions of the game appear online at the same time.

All versions of the game are similar in quality and gameplay although the online systems feature a mode to customize the players' own truck and use it online.

Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff is a 2001 video game released on the PlayStation 2. Though 3DO did not advertise it as such, the game is an enhanced remake of King's Bounty. It is primarily a graphics enhancement and it appears that little of the text has changed. Because of its dated gameplay, the game bears little relation to the rest of the Heroes of Might and Magic series.
Warriors of Might and Magic is an action role-playing game developed and released by The 3DO Company for the PlayStation and Game Boy Color in 2000, and for PlayStation 2 in 2001. The three versions, although they all follow a similar storyline, are unique, especially the GBC version which is presented in 2D instead of 3D and has an almost completely different story. Each version of the game centers around the protagonist Alleron, who is wrongfully accused of committing necromancy by the Grand Inquisitor, and is exiled as a result. He is forced to wear the Mask of the Accused as a punishment for his crimes, which acts as a magnet to monsters. It is difficult to determine when the events of Warriors of Might take place in the Might and Magic timeline. However, it's speculated that it takes place in between Heroes of Might and Magic III and Heroes of Might and Magic IV.
Army Men Advance is a top-down shooter video game developed by DC Studios and published by the 3DO Company exclusively for Game Boy Advance. Much like Army Men: Sarge's Heroes, the story has General Plastro and his army of tan figurines have decided to take over the world and it is up to Sarge and reporter Vikki Grimm to thwart the conquest. Throughout the game, the player is required to rescue team members, infiltrate tan bases, escape from a jail, investigate an extra terrestrial presence, and retrieve communications equipment. The player can choose to play as either Sarge or Vikki, but the quests for each are identical and once a character has been chosen it is impossible to switch to the other unless the player wants to start again from the first mission.
Legends of Might and Magic is a first-person shooter video game developed by Jon Van Caneghem through New World Computing and published by The 3DO Company in 2001.

Army Men: RTS is a real-time strategy video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by The 3DO Company for PlayStation 2, and Microsoft Windows.

The game follows Sarge and his Heroes in the Green Army, as they fight the Tan Army across a variety of battlefields, over the course of 15 Campaign missions, 8 Special Operations missions and, 8 Great Battles. The Special Operations missions are absent from the PC release. The game was the final Army Men game from The 3DO Company. The Greenies hit dirt paths, linoleum floors and carpets and weave through flower beds, strewn boxes and toy train sets to collect plastic and electricity to build snipers to clear the field from afar or amass an army that overwhelms the opposition. The plot is loosely based on the movie Apocalypse Now, as the team of Green commandos must hunt down a rogue and apparently insane colonel, Colonel Blintz.
