    Tony Hawk Ride
    Tony Hawk: Ride is not the broken junk heap some critics would have you believe. However, it is far from the revolutionary title Tony Hawk and Activision were counting on. In fact, it is actually a less enjoyable outing than lackluster games in the series such as Project 8 and American Wasteland. Still, if you're a skater, have the patience of a saint, or are a glutton for punishment (and frustration), there is a novel, skate-sim experience that can be uncovered.

    Malice
    To be honest it's not even as good a game as "Super Mario 3," which is a big disappointment since the game has been in production for more than four years...Overall the game is much too simple. The average gamer could blast through this in a day.

    The King of Fighters 2000/2001
    While it may not be fair to say that if you've played one fighting game, you've played them all, I could probably say with certainty that if you've played more than a few fighting games you've played better ones than KOF 2000/2001.

    Reign of Fire
    With such a dynamic premise, there is no reason this game couldn't have outshone the movie.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact
    This one just doesn't have enough going for it to be legitimately called an "Ultimate Ninja." Maybe next time, Naruto fans.

    Resident Evil Outbreak File #2
    This game will only be done correctly on the next gen machines. No load times. Communication via headset. Expanded gameplay not limited by 5 year old technology. That's the way it should be.

    Zoids: Battle Legends
    Fans of the show might find something to like about Zoids but gamers that know their mechs will be stunned at how restrictive and faulty this game is.

    R-Type III: The Third Lightning
    The collision detection system is much too sensitive for a game of this nature where you often have to squeeze between openings that leave you only a few pixels to squeeze by.

    Madden NFL 2004
    It's slightly tweaked and certainly a good game but so were the previous ones. Unless this is your first Madden football game then don't bother.

    Time Crisis 3
    I've scored it low in the Overall category simply because it's a relatively short game and some of the cutscenes aren't all that great. Not to mention that the premise is anything but innovative.

    Fire Pro Wrestling 2
    It still has a long way to go to be regarded as a great wrestling game.

    Wing Island
    It can definitely be appealing but imprecise controls, lack of missions and mission variety, and extremely short length (only three levels) detract from the game's otherwise enjoyable experience.

    Korea: Forgotten Conflict
    I wish we could award some points for originality but although the concept may be unique, the gameplay is anything but.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
    This game feels like a preliminary build rather than a finished game, and it's unenjoyable as a result.

    Tryst
    Tryst could be described as a poor man's StarCraft, but in this case I'd advise the poor man to save up and simply play StarCraft. This game is generally derivative and far too rough around the edges to bother with for long, with its good ideas buried under presentation and usability problems.

    The Simpsons Game
    Though an enjoyable romp, there's no way to recommend the PSP version over one of the console iterations of The Simpsons Game.

    Diplomacy
    About the only way you'll get something out of this game is if you use it as a tutorial to learn how to play the real thing. Then get a copy of the real board game or download a free version from the internet and play via email with your friends or coworkers.

    Fantastic 4
    Playing Fantastic Four I felt more like a fifth wheel on an ATV than one of the gang. It just wasn't fantastic.

    Deadly Premonition
    The problems are pronounced and obvious, but somehow it has a charm and appeal that defies logic. This game is not for everyone. In fact, it won't be for most people. But, at an amazing value of twenty dollars, it may be a worthy investment for those that are bored of their current slate of games and are ready to put up with the numerous frustrations to experience the inane charm that Deadly Premonition offers, but don't say I didn't warn you.

    Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
    Gameplay is everything and wondering around with a giant egg in your possession is anything but fun.

    Namco Museum 50th Anniversary
    These games should be kept out of the hands of youth so as not to show them how ignorant we were when we were young.

    Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast
    While it is short and somewhat disappointing, Barrel Blast did make interesting use of the Wii's motion-sensing controls.

    FIFA Street
    It's got flaws but more than that it's just not very good. Had this game come along five years ago things might be different but as it is this is just a convoluted arcade-style ball game using soccer as a backdrop.

    Freestyle Street Soccer
    To get the most out of Freestyle Street Soccer you should play it with four players. It's not a very good single-player soccer game as far as the mechanics are concerned.

    Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle
    A derivative, persistent online RPG that is trying to compete with older and much better games in the genre. Lineage 2 is too little, too late.

    Turn It Around
    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.

    Neopets Puzzle Adventure
    There are some fundamentally good gameplay tidbits here, but ultimately, Neopets: Puzzle Adventure is an over-priced and unfinished product.

    Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat
    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.

    Monster Garage
    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.

    Minority Report: Everybody Runs
    Too bad those psychics couldn't have predicted how lame this franchise would turn out, they might have been able to stop it long before production started.
