Technically, it's a somewhat solid game, but it's also lacking anything of real interest, outside of the locales.

Obsessive fans of the show can at least play through for the storyline without tearing out too much hair. And with the extremely simplified gameplay, it seems to be made squarely for fans who don't play much video games. Everyone else can simply leave this on the shelf, with the quiet satisfaction that they haven't paid yet another game company for making yet another crappy game.

You’ll have to be extremely familiar with the controls to have a hope in hell of finishing the game.

Fail and wind up like so many game journalists at E3 – waking up across town with absolutely nothing in your pants pockets (if you're wearing pants at all).

Even with its Halloween theme, Spirits and Spells is more of a cruel trick than a tasty treat.

The hand-to-hand combat is enjoyable (and watchable) in short stretches but everything else isn’t.

This game is a subpar attempt at adding a new mode of transportation, and absolutely nothing more, to the racing genre. Worth perhaps a drunken rental, certainly no more.

Sonic Adventure DX should have, could have been so much more than a straight port with a few improvements.

Where almost everything falls apart is the fumbling camera work, which makes controlling your on-screen character a migraine-inducing experience.

Save your money; don't bother with Operation Raccoon City.

It's achingly repetitive.

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString was a good stab at adding something unique to the music genre, alongside its great set list. It's unfortunate that the overall experience is left wanting and that the guitar -- the thing you dropped all that money on -- really does prevent enjoyment seeping into your gaming sessions.

You sever someone’s head and you need to lob it into a goal! Sounds fun? Yup, right up there with watching grass grow.

Because like all art, it's subjective – I may not know art, but I know what I like. And I don't like this. For something truly "art wothy" try "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem."

Sniper: Art of Victory is a budget title and as such can be excused for some superficial failings. Unfortunately, some of its failings are more than superficial take much of the fun out of the game.

Enough venom. Don’t buy the DS version of Tomb Raider Legend.

How can anyone justify dropping $50 on a ninja game with a broken camera, un uber weapon that makes most of the game a cakewalk, some twitchy control and only a so-so presentation? I certainly can't.

Even fans of the DOA might want to think twice about picking up a copy of Xtreme 2. Although the eye candy may send your eyes into a diabetic shock, that’s about all there is here.

Critical flaws in a console game are unacceptable, especially when updating (i.e. patching) console games just isn’t done yet.

Fuzion Frenzy 2 was never asked for and if there’s ever plans for a third edition the game will need a complete gutting before it can be stitched into something that people will want to play.

There is absolutely no denying that Diablo III continues to maintain the high artistic standards that it has kept over the years. But the dumbed character and inventory systems, coupled to the ridiculous always-on connection and the breathtaking arrogance of the"you'll play how we tell you to play" attitude makes playing this title a damned shame instead of a hell of a good time.

NBA 08 feels like an almost finished game.

Avatar does look awesome (even better, I'm told, when you're playing in Stereoscopic 3D) but there's so little fun here that your money is better spent elsewhere.

Fans will be asking where the hell the Franchise mode went.

APB had a simple concept, one that anybody who used to be young and a dead shot with a squirt gun could have gotten behind, and Realtime Worlds managed to screw it up completely.

The painful hand cramps, the repetitive motion of sliding the stylus, and the extremely uneven challenge of the opponents, make Pokémon Dash a title that can be safely missed.

Might interest younger gamers and please parents with it’s inoffensiveness, but there are still better games out there for the younger audience.

Homefront is an ambitious title with a solid idea, but lacked the courage to distance itself from the (media established) king of First Person Shooters.
