Although Turning Point had an interesting storyline, it still ends up being an incredibly limited and generic WWII shooter.

It's impossible to recommend as a purchase due to a handful of flaws that have a major, negative impact on the gameplay. At On the same token, it's bursting with great platforming ideas that rival gaming's top franchises. If you're curious, we suggest a rental, but beware of inevitable frustration.

Steel Horizon sinks like the Titanic, but I can guarantee you that no one will glorify this disaster.

Part of me feels the need to defend this game, as I find myself almost feeling sorry for it. It's like a well-meaning kid that , because of inadequate parents, didn't get the break it deserves.

The best way to describe Rock Revolution is like a Xerox copy of fine art. Sure, it looks like the real deal, but there is nothing unique about it and in the end it’s just a cheap imitation of something that truly is revolutionary.

Fans of Hellboy likely won't find this game to be a complete disappointment, although it honestly could have been much better. With its repetitive and sluggish gameplay, fairly short completion time, bad camera, lackluster cinematics, and complete lack of voice work, I would definitely caution eager fans to play the game before purchasing it.

If you locate the right audience for this one, no doubt they'll enjoy it. Just make sure you never, ever mention the console version or the jig is definitely up. The game is short as most competent gamers will make it through the 6 levels within about 5-6 hours total.

Combat has been simplified to having less depth than most new arcade games. Strategy and tactics have been reduced to using a more effective weapon against an enemy taking into account its shield, size or weaponry.

The problem with this game is that the controls are terrible.

There's nothing here that would warrant this game being on the Xbox. It doesn't look good, the sounds are average, the tunes are forgettable and the gameplay is unimaginative.

Resource management is boring at the best of times, and, in Shattered Suns, it's a yawn-festival.

There are lots of missions and difficulty options, but they're all unlocked right away, so there's no sense of progress.

The score is deceptive. There are worse superhero games you could be playing. In the end, though, there aren't any secrets that don't apply to gamplay so there's not much reason to revisit this.

Repetitive, short, and uninteresting are good ways to describe the play experience found in Cybertron Adventures.

The online portion of 25 To Life isn't bad; it's not deep by any stretch nor does it look particularly wonderful, but you and your pals can run around the city and shoot each other online and I bet some of you will really like it.

Seriously, even if you are a fan of the original game, you will be hard-pressed to find the appeal of this title and will be disappointed in the end. Play the original, it’ll be cheaper and more entertaining in the long run.

A sad story. The game had an interesting concept and a good amount of potential but it just never came together.

Wacky Racers is still a better cartoon than a game. Crash and Dash is proof of that.

The biggest problem with BUM:ZoD (actually BumZod is kind of a cool word…ya bumzod!) is directly related to the narrow track design that awaits you on every track. Crashing, smashing and bashing into the sides is something you'll have to get used to because there is no discernible way of NOT doing it.

If you're anything like me, you won't be able to play it for any length of time unless you've got something on your mind that you're concentrating on that is far removed from the game. It's perfect for zoning out.

Borderline shovelware -- but without that $20 price tag. I'd encourage you strongly to stay away from this game -- as a racing game, it has very little to offer. Cruising the city gets old quickly, and the multiplayer mode is about as exciting as the rest of the single-player game.

Puzzle de Harvest Moon has a really unique concept, but unfortunately there's just no substance behind it.

Gameplay and control, unfortunately, are the worst aspects of the title. I can usually live with poor graphics if gameplay is good and the controls are solid. Alas, you will become bored very quickly. This game is a real snoozer.

This game feels like a preliminary build rather than a finished game, and it's unenjoyable as a result.

Despite its uninspired gameplay, the simple tasks and challenges may appeal to a younger audience, especially those that've seen the film. But if you're part of the "+" demographic in The Golden Compass' "E10+" rating, then you'll likely be bored soon after Iorek's opening wolf-whuppin' battle sequence.

With bad controls, a terrible camera, and an unforgiving life and checkpoint system, don't expect to play this one for very long.

With no multi-player modes and no incentives to replay the single-person mode there's no real reason to purchase this game. If this game had been released in the 90s, it would have been highly recommended but we expect a lot more these days regardless of the price.

What you may not know is that this game already died a horrible death on the PC two years ago. Releasing it now onto an unsuspecting public is like having a sex offender move in next door without having your wits about you.

It speaks volumes that when I was taking a break from reviewing RTF, I went back to my Zelda game and found myself visiting the fishing hole and enjoying it far more, even though it's not as complex as Rapala.

The game suffers from long loads, poor control and an unplayable multi-player mode.

The game will be delightfully nostalgic to gamers of old, and should be tried by anyone who is too young to remember it. It's an important part of gaming history, one that will make a fine addition to your Xbox LIVE Arcade game collection.

A cash grab...a shallow game. It's a novelty that will disappoint many in the long run.

While this game will take you twenty or more hours to complete, it is so repetitious and clunky you'll swear it was closer to eighty.

Almost unplayable by oneself and difficult to find others to play with online. 0 Day is a really short game that you'll likely not come anywhere close to getting fifteen dollars worth of enjoyment out of.

The score is deceptive. There are worse superhero games you could be playing. In the end, though, there aren't any secrets that don't apply to gamplay so there's not much reason to revisit this.

A long campaign doesn't help if the gameplay itself is intrinsically bad. Poor graphics, partially shoddy controls, boring objectives, and frustrating, repetitive missions make WWII Aces one to steer clear from unless you're a glutton for punishment.

The only adventure you'll have with it is trying to get your money back should you be so unlucky to have purchased it.

A unique and fun game. Unfortunately, the game will only take between one and three hours to play through. Since there is no multiplayer or alternate play modes besides trial (playing levels over again to beat high scores), there is a serious lack of play value. This game was truly different, but ultimately, poorly executed.

Intended for young gamers it's nice to see that attention was paid to the graphics and control system but the uninteresting gameplay will assure this game will see little action beyond the Holiday season.

For a sim, the tracks and vehicles don't look all that great. There is a definite lack of detail on the tracks which makes you feel as though you're at a practice track instead of an actual drag race competition.

If you missed out on the slow motion craze a couple of years ago, then this might be the game for you to pick. On second thought, just try to find "Max Payne." The poor execution to the game is where the real harm is in Made Man.

While I like its charm and the gameplay is satisfactory, the game is just far too repetitive and short.

What is missing from PsychoToxic is soul. It's not a unique game by any standards. It's a regular shooter with average graphics and sounds.

I expected this game to revolutionize the virtual pool market, but in the end, it proves that there is nothing new in the world of virtual pool and for the best pool game, you should just play the real deal.

Shrek Super Party should be called Shrek Super $#itty. It lives up to the rep that we gave it in advance.

I’m going to be honest with you, I haven’t finished Escape Dead Island yet. I just can’t bring myself to. The game plods along at a snail’s pace and just never hooks you. It’s certainly not the worst game I have ever played, but it’s bland and generic and feels rushed and unfocused.

In Dead to Rights you will be fighting the faulty gameplay mechanics more than the enemy. The sloppy design prohibits me from recommending it.

The gang vernacular and the gratuitous use of swearing may make this game appear cool but you may as well listen to an Andrew Dice Clay recording and play with a string-less yo-yo.

It features lots of characters from the series, perhaps all of your favorites, but if these fighters were real they'd be on the phone with their agents trying to stop this game from getting released.

Despite its uninspired gameplay, the simple tasks and challenges may appeal to a younger audience, especially those that've seen the film. But if you're part of the "+" demographic in The Golden Compass' "E10+" rating, then you'll likely be bored soon after Iorek's opening wolf-whuppin' battle sequence.

Players could live with the low-rent production if that meant enjoying great controls and balanced shooting levels. A little less sensitivity in the steering, a little more challenge from the rival planes, and an easier way to target enemy guns would have provided this.

There are plenty of unique games on offer here, but there's so many impediments to actually enjoying the game that the entire experience is dragged down. The far-too-frequent load time, and constant signing-in and picture-taking ensure that you're only actually playing about a quarter of the time.

As I mentioned above, the camera is just plain terrible and is a major drawback to the controls because they give you the ability to steer it. Only it does not do what it is told; most times it will not do anything at all leaving you unable to see where you are supposed to jump.

The game is thirty minutes long and costs ten dollars. That's thirty three cents a minute to play this game. You'll get better value out of a psychic hotline.

Atrocious. And not "atrociously good fun" either. Simply atrocious. It's like biting into an Oh Henry and discovering that it is indeed, a big fat solid chunk of stanky human dung and undigested peanuts.

Some elements of the game are playable but not all. Overall, it's too inconsistent.

With no opening or closing ceremonies, or otherwise flashy presentation, the game is as boring to look at as it is to play.

If you would like to play as the Fantastic Four but in a good game, play Marvel's Ultimate Alliance.

This is the style of arcade game that was around in mechanical form since the early 50s. It's just an on-rails shooter that never lets up. You never move from your position while shooting down swarms of Japanese aircraft with your AA gun. It's so easy to play it's ridiculous.

While everything basically works as it should, steering is still made difficult by a mixture of poor camera angles and claustrophobic tracks.

It's a shell of what might be a new Christmas classic which is, in one way, sad but the fact that the movie may be around for along time may tempt a developer to do this game justice in the future.

The game isn't funny, and that's inexcusable.

Atrocious. And not "atrociously good fun" either. Simply atrocious. It's like biting into an Oh Henry and discovering that it is indeed, a big fat solid chunk of stanky human dung and undigested peanuts.

This game is short and thoroughly uninspiring.

The online portion of 25 To Life isn't bad; it's not deep by any stretch nor does it look particularly wonderful, but you and your pals can run around the city and shoot each other online and I bet some of you will really like it.

This game is just too unrealistic to make it tick. Airborne Troops manages to get off the ground but it doesn't take long before it crash-lands somewhere behind enemy lines - with nobody bothering to recover it.

In short, Ju-On: The Grudge is a great idea marred by middling execution. Purchasers can expect some great scares, but the actual gameplay feels clunky and unnatural, and there isn't much play time to be had here. At $30, this is not a worthy buy.

Does ten hours of pressing X repeatedly sound like a good time to you?

Other than the three or four hours of play you'll get out of Coraline, there isn't much left to be done.

Raven Squad starts with a brilliant concept and doesn't bother to flesh it out into a fun or compelling game. It's practically a gift to competing developers. In that regard all it lacks is a note reading, "Here's a template for a hybrid FPS-RTS; do something useful with it, because we don't feel like it."

The most that can be said in support of Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad is that it's mildly amusing, at first, to slice through countless zombies in quick succession, while watching the blood fly. From there it's all downhill: the sex and blood represent a dedication to offense, not art; there's no technique required in the hardest immediately available difficulty; the game was poorly executed on a technical level.

With frustrating gameplay, a very short and linear experience, and no multiplayer or unlockable modes/levels to speak of, TotDE gives players no reason to keep playing.

There will be little debate that Inkheart makes a better novel and a movie than it does a game. Don't let it break your heart.

An expansive number of levels, plenty of unlockable rewards, and a variety of play options - all qualities which tend to make game compilations worth picking up in the first place - are noticeably lacking here.

Unfortunately, if the Wii version of AITD is any indication as to where this series is headed, then nostalgia may be all that is left for its many fans.

Where Flight of the Falcon goes wrong is in trying to make the GBA display 3D environments for an entire game.

With crappy animation, slow speed, generic gameplay all topped off with a password save, Cartoon Network Speedway could, in the future, be used in place of coal as the universally accepted bad Christmas gift for naughty, disrespectful children.

It does have a good variety of modes but the controls are awful and the gameplay is repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive.

A complete disappointment on all fronts and shouldn't be played by anyone.

This game is short and thoroughly uninspiring.

The game is thirty minutes long and costs ten dollars. That's thirty three cents a minute to play this game. You'll get better value out of a psychic hotline.

I gave this game several chances, but after turning off my PS4 and walking away from it just now, I'm realizing that I have no motivation to boot Umbrella Corps back up when there are so many alternatives that look, sound, feel, and play better. Wait for a sale and pick this up cheaply if you're a die-hard fan, but keep your friends close and your expectations low.

Whereas the show, Pimp My Ride, may be fun, the game is not. It gets close in the presentation but it fails miserably where it counts, in the gameplay.

Its sole redeeming quality are the incredible number of monsters that are available in the game.

Out of the Shadows is no Game of the Year nominee, but it's a lot of fun to smack your way through the five-hour campaign and play the Arcade mode with friends. And for those of us old enough to remember the Turtles' original incarnation, it's a trip down memory lane, too.

The story mode is pointless and the two-player mode is bare-bones. There is almost nothing worthwhile to do in this game.

I would like to say to all of the vampire enthusiasts out there, if you have ever wanted to see if you would survive a vampire attack, here's your chance to find out. For everyone else that doesn't desire to know that a vampire would end their life in two hits, stay away from it.

Does ten hours of pressing X repeatedly sound like a good time to you?

While the graphics and hole designs are inviting, the frustrations caused by the controls and Barker himself successfully put a damper on the entire experience.

Monster Garage is a reality show - which is what is sorely missing in this game. You'll have more fun watching the actual show and pretending to string rows of popcorn on a thread.

Raven Squad starts with a brilliant concept and doesn't bother to flesh it out into a fun or compelling game. It's practically a gift to competing developers. In that regard all it lacks is a note reading, "Here's a template for a hybrid FPS-RTS; do something useful with it, because we don't feel like it."

When you get down to it, Conquest feels more like a cousin to the series than a true follow-up. It certainly leans towards the traditional side of the genre with more of an emphasis on battle than on construction and micromanagement.

A semi-historical repetitive fighter that does have its merits, but doesn't reach the full potential of what it could have been.

I'm not saying this game will replace "Tony Hawk 4," but I found it a heckuva lot more engaging and fun than "THPS3."

It is quite unfortunate that the company that essentially invented the music genre has produced such a poor title, but Rock Revolution just doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. From the poor music selection to the bad visuals, this game doesn’t stand well on its own, and can’t even be considered good as a supplement to current music titles.

Not only is Evolution Snowboarding a lame snowboarding game but it's a lame fighter as well, so you know what that makes the whole game don't you?

This game is even worse than the show.

Everything surrounding that core that makes it unbearable.
