It's really hard to encourage people to go out and buy this game, even the for the hardcore X-Men fans. Although some fanboys will just be happy with seeing some of their favourites in the game, I feel most will be disappointed in not being able to play as their favourites and by the very repetitive action.

If it had offered a more comprehensive and fun single player experience with a great storyline, it might be worth it for the legions of FPS fans.

Largely dreadful.

Would I suggest buying ShellShock: Nam 67? The answer would have to be “No!” Especially with way better third person shooters around like "SOCOM II."

My instinct is that, despite BE5’s flaws, it might have potential for modding or for higher quality sequels.

Rock of the Dead does little to rejuvenate the struggling music game genre. Rock of the Dead is an interesting idea, but unfortunately the execution falls flat. If you want a new interesting take on the genre and want to learn a real instrument, you're money is better spent on Rock Band 3.

Overall, this game does what it says it will on the outside of the box but with limited gameplay modes and a scant song selection, you might want to look at renting it first before you make a full purchase.

The Incredible Maze doesn’t quite live up to its name but it does offer some fun in short bursts.

All told, Outcry isn't a bad game. It's not one I would recommend for players who aren't already a fan of the genre.

Ultimately, Super Monkey Ball's 3D debut is an adequate distraction for younger 3DS owners, although the deceptive difficulty might prove frustrating for players both young and old.

If you have a hankering for a beat 'em up / RPG hybrid, you can do better than Sacred Citadel.

If a 16-bit-esque Sonic game appeared on Xbox Live Arcade or PSN, I’d likely be all over it because the glimpses we get of a the Sonic of yore in Sonic Unleashed are very fun. It’s not enough to redeem the entire game though.

More of a simulation than arcade, which may seem good at first, but it's not.

Once your island is set up, you can tackle the missions. Well, tackle may be too strong of a word, trudge may be more correct.

The lack of a tutorial is a glaring omission in a game that is not intuitive at all for those unfamiliar with "Europa Universalis". With no objectives, if the gamer has no passing interest in history, the game is sure to fall flat.

Beyond the storyline, there is not one thing that is truly well executed in this game.

All in all, Devil's Cartel just differs too much from the winning formula for those fans of the first two games, and for the newcomers, there are better co-operative games on the market for your dollar.

I don’t want to discourage the intrepid few who might find some real pleasures here or are so excited about the time period that they’re willing to endure Great Invasions’ abundant frustrations.

Don’t bother with Rock Manager unless you’re a huge music industry fan.

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.
