Darkened Skye is a terrible gamecube adventure where you use Skittles to cast magic spells.
Smarties: Meltdown for the PS2 has you playing as a Smartie voiced by Dave Benson Phillips, a really annoying UK kids tv presenter who was pretty much forgotten by the point this game came out.

You do realize that firearms manufacturers require their brand names to be licensed for whenever they appear in a first person shooter, right? So whenever you see the names Remington, Glock, Ruger, Benelli, Mossberg, etc., or designations such as FAMAS, Tac-50, Super 90, Desert Eagle, etc., that is generally because those companies paid for the right to use those names and specific firearm models and designations. Firearms manufacturers see it as a means of inserting their own product placement into video games to appeal to a younger demographic with the hope that kids playing games today will purchase firearms tomorrow or somewhere down the line might have a favorable attitude about purchasing in bulk from a specific company if they're in a position to do so, such as law enforcement, military acquisitions, or government.
Companies that don't pay will go with generic titles or with fake ones, like what happened in 007 GoldenEye.

That explains why the Klobb was so god-awful.
