When all is said and done, Need for Speed: Undercover is a shallow experience unworthy of predecessors like Need for Speed: Underground or Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

An off-road arcade rally game with little substance and a rather slim budget to boot. The result is a mediocre, at times entertaining arcade rally game with at times outrageous vehicle handling, a few flashy visual features, and a whole lot of repetitiveness.

One of the most discouraging facts about this expansion pack is that the AI still wasn't tweaked properly. No matter how you adjust your unit's behavior, they still act aggressively; blindly rushing forth to battle and disregarding the orders they've been given.

The shooting, hand-to-hand combat and sneaking segments can all be fun, but for a very short time. Apart from that, the game has little of true value. It's probably best to avoid it.

The predictability and low AI of your opponents do their best to wreck the game completely. So although some missions tend to be fun, the effect is completely ruined by the monotonous process of rebuilding your kingdom or performing a set military attack.

A rather heartless gesture was made with the fabulous soundtrack, which is, for some strange reason, in MIDI format.

The classes and the huge amount of skills are mildly entertaining. You could rent the game and try it out, but that's as far as I'd go.

The simple truth is that Velvet Assassin is a mediocre game that made its way onto the market earlier than it should have.

Although there's enough action and a few cool RPG elements, the whole shebang doesn't appear to involve any engaging or innovative gameplay moments that might brighten up today's gaming scene.

The terrain deformation, a few cool weapons and the multiplayer salvage this from being complete junk. All in all, there must be at least 100 better ways to spend 60 bucks.

It's a technical shambles, overshadowing an excellent concept pathetically executed.

C'mon guys, you are the reason we have excellent games such as Monkey Island, Knights of the Old Republic, Sam & Max, Indiana Jones, the Jedi Knight series and so on. Surely, you can do better than produce a half-baked franchise-milking action adventure.

Everything it has to offer has been seen many times before in older RTS games. Old-fashioned gamelpay, lackluster AI, and obsolete graphics with a huge resemblance to the good old AOE are the main downsides to this title. Really not enough to make me ever want to load up America again.

One more malignant tumor in the blasé cancer eating the videogame industry. It's derivative from the start, and the game's concept is as poorly thought out as its execution.

However careful you may be, you simply cannot sneak up to the enemy. And that is only when they are in their normal state. When they get alerted they simply know where you are and shoot at you with deadly accuracy.

As far as intuitive interfaces go, this one is about as user-friendly as the Russian "Lada" service booklet.

While it does an okay job presenting what it is really like to have depression, it sets the player down the exactly same depression path, no matter what is chosen.

Although you will be involved in an interesting and chilling story, there's really nothing more to grab your attention throughout the game. Not to mention it took me less than two days to complete the entire game.

A game that showed great promise, but suffers from a severe lack of polish.

Everything about TMNT reeks of a rushed product.

The main problem with Tactical Ops is that it can capture the player's attention, but not for long.

If senseless, over-the-top violence can keep you entertained, you'll be done with the single-player portion in several hours, after which you might want to get into the multiplayer. Yet, this is just another mundane aspect of the game, featuring nothing beyond the traditional deathmatch, CTF and so on.

There's nothing distinctive about the world we're allowed to explore.

Conquest isn't a very fun game. Thanks to all the aforementioned drawbacks, there's virtually nothing to enjoy about the single-player (we strongly advise you skip that).

With very little effort Harry Potter the Prisoner of Azkaban can be finished in a single evening which indeed stands out as a serious drawback. Once you complete it, chances are slim that you'll want to try the whole thing again.

Veteran FPS players won’t waste more than an hour on it. Everyone else should scream in contempt at the developers; rightfully so. Ideas such as the ‘Escape’ mode are cool, although whether you choose solo or multiplayer, be warned that the novelty soon wears off as Aliens Colonial Marines shows its true colors, unveiling an excruciatingly dull first-person shooter with all the entertainment value of tap-dancing hermit crab.

Low "immersion factor". Two-bit, two-frame main character animation. Sluggish and awkward combat mode. Completely unoriginal puzzles. RPG elements are nothing more than a decoration - something to put on a box.

Though the visuals have their upsides, the camera is ATROCIOUSLY AWFUL.
