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

There isn't much to get excited about with Pocket Pool. Not even the models and their cheesy videos are likely to scintillate you.

The PSP version has so many things against it: the gameplay is terrible, the story is non-existent, and the entire game experience ranges from boring to enraging, depending on how long you've been playing. I feel almost guilty giving ANY game this bad of a review. But trust me, this one earned it.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am will put you through four hours of gameplay, and the end result is a few amusing moments, but a whole lot more frustrating ones. Honestly, the material here would have made a better episode rather than game.

Even if you got this game as a gift, you should return it immediately. There are far too many moments that make it unplayable. Go play Gears of War instead.

The first rule of Fight Club has now been changed to "Don't buy Fight Club".

Hour of Victory feels like a chore to play. The gameplay is anachronistic and doesn't bring anything new to the genre at all. It actually feels like a few steps backwards for both the FPS genre and the WWII shooter.

Double Sequence: The Q-Virus Invasion lacks a multitude of components. This game is the type you play out of sheer boredom and last resort.

Despite the game's great sense of humor, respectable graphics, and well crafted child-friendly horror-themed atmosphere, frustrating and monotonous gameplay make HorrorLand virtually unbearable.

Don't confuse this game with the console games however. Console games good; GBA game bad.

Not nearly enough craftsmanship went into the creation of the title and the end result is a meager offering.

Almost every aspect of the game, from premise to execution, is highly derivative and substantially lacking. The for-the-whole-family appeal is certainly present, but your money is better spent taking the gang out to experience the real thing.

Don't buy this game. It's not worth your time, much less your $30. If you're a Wii owner who really wants a boxing challenge beyond that of Wii Sports, there's nothing to do but wait.

Bean there - done that - won't do it again.

When all is said and done, Backyard Baseball '09 is a forgettable title that may go over with very young gamers. Though the title is not all bad, mature gamers are better off saving the time and money!

To recap: The price is too high, the content is lacking, the game's fighting framework is the very definition of shallow, and its violence manages to come across as both puerile and dull.

This game has no excuse. It's very expensive for what it has to offer, and if I were to polish my Flash and ActionScript knowledge, I could have created it myself!

With terrible graphics, boring game objectives, frustrating, at best, controls, and mind-numbing character interaction, Escape from Bug Island sets a new low point for Wii games and video games in general.

Children can't be fooled!

This game is just not fun.

When your game makes you want to skip the egregiously tedious gameplay so you can see what happens in the utterly forgettable story, you know you're doing something wrong.

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.

Battle for the Pacific brings zilch to an already overstuffed corner of the market. Don't let the discounted price or the The History Channel branding fool you, the game is a poor attempt at historical immersion.

The load times are ridiculous. I have not seen a more frustrating design. It loads when you access a menu. It even loads after you pause it. There is no other reason for this other than sloppy design.

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

This game borders on blasphemy... What you get is a slow paced game of hide and seek where it seems no one even cares to come looking for you.

It's fun in spots, but the gameplay is extremely repetitive, and there's no incentive for you to get better. Feels like a tech demo haphazardly turned into a full game.

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

For a storyline that is both pointless and lame, considering it takes place almost three years ago according to the show's storyline, The Shield leaves a lot to wish for. Better gameplay, more responsive controls, no bugs or glitches or, even better, for games like this never to be made.

There are songs to play you can't get anywhere else, but you should really ask yourself if you to play them on a "real-fake" guitar.

I'm sorry to say that Air Conflicts: Aces of World War II is one of the worst games I've ever played. This is largely due to poor technical implementation and utterly unpolished code. Top that off with ho-hum yet very challenging gameplay with no pay off, and you're in for an extremely meager experience.

In order to keep processing to a minimum, the camera is locked in a fixed position that keeps either of the two playable characters front and center at all times. When you come to levels that require jumping you can't look around to see where the next platform is.

I wish they would have made the game longer and included more options. It's the type of game that is great for releasing some tension and to have some fun.

First generation cell-phone games had more interesting gameplay.

Sometimes aping the competition is not a great idea, especially if you don't manage to bring anything new to the table in the process.

There are songs to play you can't get anywhere else, but you should really ask yourself if you to play them on a "real-fake" guitar.

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

Torrente has a few things working against it, the least of which is the fat, balding, middle-aged, ass that is the star of the game. That fat dork is the best thing about the game. What does that tell you?

Stay far away from this game as even a rental would be grounds for a lawsuit against TDK for "cruel and unusual punishment".

On a platform that's actually been criticized for having too many shooters, it's tough to recommend a shooter so mediocre as Infernal: Hell's Vengeance.

Although the game does look and sound like the TV show, the gameplay is reminiscent of a budget game. I had to look closely to make sure the box it came in didn't have a hole drilled through it.

One of the most boring games to be released on the GBA this year. Sitting Ducks isn't a horrible game, it's just so darn boring.

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.

It would be nice to play as each character in a Gauntlet-style format, but the lack of distinctive abilities for each of the four characters puts the kibosh on that dream. One could surmise that this game was doomed from the start.

When your game makes you want to skip the egregiously tedious gameplay so you can see what happens in the utterly forgettable story, you know you're doing something wrong.

I can't think of a more awful looking game. The textures are so low res that the water looks like a meadow. It reminds me of Atari's Duck Hunt. At any moment I expect the snickering dog to appear holding a fish in his paws - snickering at what a fool I've been to have purchased this game.

A stupid game that's designed to trick parents into picking this up for their young children. Even if you're one such parent buyer, please do not buy this for your kids.

This game is clearly a rushed mess, and perhaps should have taken a nod from the Superman Returns video game and not been released until The Golden Compass inevitable DVD release.

The dialogue in this game has to be heard to be believed, although I don't recommend you even spend a nickel renting it. Although the actual actors didn't voice the characters, the developers found a couple of morons that are equally as bad.

Terrible. There is a split-screen multiplayer option, but I can't imagine anyone who'd want to participate, and why would they? Sluggish controls, poor attention to detail, lack of customization, and unbalanced difficulty all makes Showtime Championship Boxing a dud.

It's obvious that some care and talent went into the making of this game. Unfortunately it just didn't dribble down to the most important part - the gameplay.

The girls aren't easy, they aren't sleazy, and the poker is boring. The visuals are lifeless, and the aural presentation is put forth with minimal effort. We fully understand that this is a $5 game, but it offers only about $0.25 worth of entertainment.

The unfortunate part is that this game is so basic that it can only serve to entertain newbies. It's got less depth than the average tutorial.

A real clunker.

Shellshock 2 is incredibly short, largely unsatisfying, and even painful to play at times.

Apocalyptica may not accurately portray the end of the world but it does nothing to preserve the future of gaming as we know it. Let us hope this is not a sign.

Repetitive and uninspired missions abound as do glitches that can make completing missions more difficult or even impossible without reloading. The lack of a co-op mode for the campaign is also a huge letdown.

Trust me, you aren't missing anything by passing this game up. Optimus Prime is dead, and it's this game that killed him.

Considering there's nothing else to do in this game besides the single-player, that mode needed to be really good. Unfortunately, what we have instead is a missed opportunity that only frustrates and angers.

As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And the classic Bomberman was definitely not broken.

The dark atmospheric ambience combined with the four monster hunters and a slew of monsters gets to be a little much after a while. It's not only hard on the eyes with such a busy screen but the non-stop fighting gets to be a drag about half-way through the game.

I would fully recommend this game to people who know a little one who loves music, and is just starting to get into the world of video gaming.

Fails on so many levels. It looks bad, the control system suffers from lag and ineffective weapon designs, the AI is incredibly unbalanced and the missions are a repetitive mix of elements.

Are we going to be forever destined to inferior products based on popular characters wading through a series of hackneyed mini games?

While snuggling up to a handheld video game system may still not be better than cuddling a real kitten, kids are a lot more likely to find success convincing their parents to let them take home a budget priced DS title like Animates over the real-deal.

It is yet another cynical attempt to trick gamers into buying a sloppy, uninspired game because they liked the movie. Don't fall for that trick again.

From the gameplay to the graphics, Van Helsing is one poorly developed game. I don't even care what the excuses are, this game should not have been released in the state that it's in.

Black Ops Declassified isn't a Call of Duty game. It's like one of those grey-market cameras that has an almost-recognizable brand name on the front. And Activision, in all of their laziness, may have inadvertently kicked off the Vita's funeral procession.

Mistmare has more bugs than an apartment in the Projects. The game is virtually unplayable. It's more horrendous than the Inquisition - and just about as much fun. I don't even know where to begin to lament on the inadequacies of this… abomination.

Avoid this title like a 12th century leper. It’s easily the worst game of the launch, the worst giant robot game ever, and front runner for worst anime-inspired game in history.

With only ten levels and no multiple pathways, the game is fairly short on content. You will most likely only play this game for three to five hours, making the forty-dollar price tag seem way too steep to consider it for a purchase. Still, the game can be a lot of fun.

Underneath it all is nothing. The fighting engine is so basic that it faces competition from GBA games. All you have to do is button mash the attack button and you're more than likely to win the match.

A game that you should certainly pass by. It has few, if any, redeeming qualities, and I'm hard-pressed to imagine the sort of person who could actually have fun with this title.

A text-based, gladiator management sim, Coliseum asks the question, "How long can you last?" The correct answer is: Long enough to get a real, wicked, #%*!-ing headache.

In small doses, Pool Party is capable of providing some entertainment, but marathon single-player sessions just seem pointless. Playing against another human opponent is the better way to go, and it extends the playability significantly.

The moral of this story is don't buy Triggerman. Don't even rent it. It will ruin yours, and every other life that comes into contact with it.

Avoid this one like the Black Plague.

If I could turn the sniper rifle on my character in Sniper: Path of Vengeance, it would have been a much shorter but more satisfying game.

With extremely dated graphics, poor sound, archaic mechanics, and a loser of a plot, this game just doesn't measure up to any standard. This dummy just needs to crash and be done with it.

Take away the Robocop license, pop culture sound bytes and you've got a totally generic FPS on your hands that is completely forgettable.

Fighters Uncaged doesn't offer nearly enough content, and much of it is hidden behind artificial content walls. Most of the fighters are much the same.

The cutscenes are among some of the worst acted I've ever seen. The writing is equally as amateurish as the acting. Never mind the bad grammar, but the whole hip hop vernacular is just cliché after bad cliché.

Ghostbusters will get you through a few levels of mildly pleasant action before you shrug and see what's new on Netflix. That's about all she's got in the ol' proton pack, but as far as movie tie-in games go, it could certainly be much worse.

Like the vampires portrayed here, this game just plain sucks.

Shellshock 2 is incredibly short, largely unsatisfying, and even painful to play at times.

I would fully recommend this game to people who know a little one who loves music, and is just starting to get into the world of video gaming.

All told, George of the Jungle is a stupid game that's designed to trick parents into picking this up for their young children. Even if you're one such parent buyer, please do not buy this for your kids.

The main problem with WPC is that it's a piece of $#!+. Not only can you read the AI like a teleprompter but there's no online play should you (and believe me you will) crave some human interaction.

To paraphrase a classic Futurama line 'the only thing Rouge Warrior does better than other games is suck'.

With its incredibly short play time, lack of any reason to play through more than once, horrific camera, and just overall feeling of being rushed to the market, Jumper: Griffin's Story is unlikely to make anyone glad for the experience.

Stay away from Batman: Dark Tomorrow like it was a greatest hits CD of Christina Aguilera songs performed on an water-swollen oboe.

There is no reason in the world to own this product when "Pictochat" basically does everything at least, equally as well.

The plodding and imperfect gameplay, poor visuals, nonexistent story, and terrible controls combine to create an experience best avoided.

To paraphrase a classic Futurama line 'the only thing Rouge Warrior does better than other games is suck'.

Here lays just another sad tale of movie-turned-game that is underdeveloped and bad beyond belief. It has truly gotten to the point where I can not tell if the movie industry is just trying to play a cruel trick on us gamers by giving the go ahead on these projects.

It serves as nothing more than a throwaway PC port-over with the intent of taking advantage of the Wii's controls. The problem is that it wasn't built as a Wii game from the ground up, thus the awkward feel of aiming and positioning with the Wii-mote. Aside from that, the visuals are lackluster, the audio is virtually non-existent, and the gameplay is shallow.

Dragon Ball: Evolution is probably a terrible movie, but I can say with all certainty that it is a terrible game. Poor graphics, a non-existent soundtrack, long loading times, and sparse play value make this title one that you should definitely skip.

Hint: There are many good flash-based games out there that you can play for free; just go to their website through the Wii's Internet browser!
