    Metaphorically, it's like buying a CD only to find out it has one decent song on it.

    Unlocking all of the tracks, cars and other goodies will add some replay value but you will definitely want to put a few weeks between yourself and the game before you go at it again just so that everything doesn't seem so familiar.

    The wacky gameplay, broken tackles, and cheating computer may get the best of you. On the other hand, those of you that are arcade buffs or are particularly good at sports games should love it.

    While the game is fun, especially with a partner on the couch, the lack of boss battles, no online multiplayer matching, and only a handful of hours of content make this game little more than a solid rental.

    This game could have offered much more if it had used some of the good elements of the latest Mario Party games, instead of just focusing on giving it a new, "cool" look.

    All I can say is that if I were walking through a store, (although you can get the game online at Steam) I would have my "model 229 standard issue Robinson telekinesis gloves," in repel mode should I come across a copy of Twin Sector.

    A package that isn't completely terrible, nor is it remarkable in any way. The mini-games that are included are fairly simple to play and could have been a lot more fun if the controls had been fine-tuned. Conversely, while the controls can be frustrating at times they don't completely ruin the experience, especially when playing with friends.

    It's just a mess. It pains me to say it, but it's absolutely true.

    The limited gameplay itself is solid enough to warrant a few hours of space combat, but as a Star Trek title, Conquest simply doesn't live up to expectation.

    Damage Inc. isn't all that much fun to play, and the AV8R doesn't work all that well with it.

    Aside from the novelty of trying to rap a few of your favorite songs, this game is more than lame. It would be useful for up and coming rappers to hone their chops but do we really need to perpetuate this dumbed-down art form? Get the karaoke game and learn how to sing.

    You'll complete the game within a couple of hours, with little more to do than unlock self-gratifying awards.

    It's decent, but never goes the extra distance. Overall the game is dark, making a lot of the detail difficult to see. There's just a bit too much of the vision modes which seems to be a cheap way out of rendering detailed characters and environments.

    Not only does the game look bad with last decade's graphics, but the controls are way too loose making any kind of sudden changes in direction virtually impossible.

    Played for the right reason, a little bit at a time, Mega Brain Boost could be considered great value for the money, production values aside.

    As a single adventure, Bolt DS is mediocre. It’s not a terrible game, but it greatly lacks focus and the mechanics are too loose to offer even mindless, button-mashing pleasure.

    The first-person shooting genre is aching for some innovation, and Deep Silver’s foundation could have been that trailblazer. Unfortunately, the storyline, game mechanics, and the audio-visual quality issues just don’t cut it. Homefront: The Revolution is better suited for the bargain bin rather than the hefty price tag AAA games are known for.

    Murakumo at first looks like an expensive diamond but after playing it you to will see it’s nothing more then a polished lump of coal.

    Most of Lux-Pain's gameplay is derived from wading through innumerable dialogue boxes by tapping the stylus or pressing a single button. If this sounds like fun to you, save yourself some money by buying a book and arbitrarily clicking your mouse 1,000 times while reading it.

    I was insulted having to play this game. Then I was embarrassed. Then I was enraged...The idea that kids can pilot these mechs, or that there's any reason for them to be doing so, is so ridiculous that I wish that I could reach inside my giant mech body and squish the annoying little bastards.

    Ultimately Zathura is a full priced game with the least amount of play value I've seen in recent memory. An average gamer would get through this adventure in a few short hours which means for goodness sakes, rent this one if you're itching to play the movie.

    Even wedged between a sesame seed bun and two succulent patties of seasoned beef smothered in fried onions, mustard and barbecue sauce, I couldn't get Dark Angel to taste any better. This game is strictly a chuck steak.

    It's more frustrating than challenging and it certainly isn't a whole lot of fun for any player of any age.

    The reward system and combat are a step above past games of the series, and the class customization gives you plenty of diversity and interesting combinations to play with. However, the game doesn't feel current, both technically as well as in the story telling. And most disturbing is the objectification of women.

    Purple Haze, at best, is a rental. It's short and lacks any replay value. There are no multi-player modes and the entire experience is about as realistic as a Disney theme ride guided by Andrew Dice Clay.

    Had WinBack 2 been released in 2002/2003, it would have been far better received but as a full-priced game released in 2006 it has to be held to the same standards as other top notch software and it falls short.

    The story mode clocks in at roughly three hours in length, and the Arena mode does little to add value to the package.

    Even though I have a terribly high tolerance for bad monster movies, I still couldn't find an excuse for Aliens: Colonial Marines. The game has been in development for over five years, and nearly every single component has some major flaw. It's yet another black eye on a franchise that's already taken a heavy beating.

    If Hummer Badlands were an actual arcade game, it would make on average, about a quarter an hour. It's just too easy.
