    Games are hard to control, repetitive, and not very fun. Single-player mode is tedious. Play value is how much the game has to offer, not just replayability.

    It's short and not much fun.

    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.

    I can't even recommend this game for fans of the movie series since it doesn't even include the principal characters.

    Single-player is short, and beyond a score challenge mode, there's nothing to really do with this game.

    What Soldner really needs is a unit of highly trained, high tech, programmers to overhaul this game and get all of the bugs out of it before it sends you off to war. Until that time there are better team-based, military shooters out there to occupy your time with.

    A barely functional fighting game that flubs even the basics of control, introducing no depth or complexity to its haggard and unresponsive control scheme.

    It’s just unremarkable, which is disappointing after all the remarks we all made about it. It’s just a game. It’s mediocre. It’s run of the mill. It’s another indie game that uses another established formula to give us a few hours of repetitive gameplay that may or may not be to your liking. It doesn’t do anything grand and innovative, but it also doesn’t do anything wrong or heinous outside of its own overhyped controversy.

    The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is a text-book example of a rushed movie tie-in that does nothing for either the movie or the gaming industry. Leave this Mummy in its wrapper.

    If there's any good reason to purchase, rent or even borrow this game, I haven't found it.

    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.

    The co-op functionality and the vast array of collectibles are nice additions on the surface, but being unable to play with friends online and not unlocking anything substantial keeps the experience lackluster.

    Although the information presented is interesting, the effort to extract it is just not worth the reward.

    It lacks features and control. All you really do is make a few choices and let the game play it all out for you. It's like the battle system in an old-school RPG.

    Omerta is a great idea, but it drags too often and enthralls too little.

    The game may be long but every level seems the same as the last, making it feel more like a repetitive endurance run than a game.

    Most of the game feels like a cheap slog through enemies that won’t die.

    The best area of the game is the online multiplayer, but even that pales in comparison to other possibilities like Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3.

    Not a good game. It's sad that the last game to ever bear the Harry Potter name (well, until the inevitable MMO) is such a disappointment.

    As a children's game, The Golden Compass offers hours of fun with controls that aren't too complex, yet tasks that are challenging. With its 10+ rating, the game does offer some educational value and enough fun to keep kids interested.

    Myst DS is a game you have to avoid like eating Fritos before a first date.

    Suffers from technical problems which will only serve to frustrate meticulous RTS fans.

    Despite all the glitz and glamour, the game feels hollow and void of substance.

    The latest game is entitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Melee and like the last two games, threatens to send the Turtles back into hibernation or wherever the hell they went last time.

    The game is fun for the first hour, perhaps two, but after that, you've already done everything there is to do besides repeating the process many more times.

    The game is ultimately built upon the one element, and it gets old fast.

    The problem is justifying an NBA Live 14 purchase when NBA 2K14 is on store shelves. As a newbie, I had fun with NBA 2k14, but I didn’t have nearly as much fun with NBA Live 14.

    Hardcore Dynasty Warriors fans will probably get this title for the storyline alone. More casual fans of the series stay away!
