    Not only is the AI predictable, but the storyline is so linear that it's just an excuse to connect one mission to the next.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Best played at an arcade where you probably wouldn't spend more than a dollar on it. I can't recommend this title even at the bargain-bin price you're bound to find it.

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

    Instead of a game that takes its inspiration from the show that it's based on, it appear to have been more inspired by "GTA" than anything else. And if you can imagine how bad a budget title of "GTA" would be, you can imagine how bad American Chopper is.

    To paraphrase an old psychology axiom, if the game sounds bad, looks bad and plays bad, it probably is bad.

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

    If the graphics and animation were better on Beyond the Battlebox, this game would stand a chance. Unfortunately it's about as basic as you can get.

    First generation cell-phone games had more interesting gameplay.

    The bottom line on this game is that it makes a great appetizer but you'll want "Tony 4" or "Aggressive Inline" for the main course.

    The combinations of situations should be endless but unfortunately the game restricts all the freedom of the series and with it, all of the fun, mainly because all of Timmy's powers are taken away for the duration of the game. How lame is that?

    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.

    There could be a somewhat enjoyable gameplay experience hidden somewhere in this title, but you won't be able to find it underneath all of its horrible camera and control flaws.

    Although the driving engine isn't bad at all, the automatic targetting system is more than a little chaotic and clunky.

    Unfortunately there is nothing memorable about this game. The characters are one-dimensional and the story runs its course in about five hours - but the game just keeps going and going and going. The title of the game should be changed to Escape From the Center of this Game.

    Aside from those tree huggers that cling to "classics," the average gamer of today would have little use for such long, drawn out RPGs that just simply can't compete with today's RPGs. There's a reason the RPGs are really popular now and that's because they've evolved from what they were.

    If you get frustrated easily, like when the ink runs out of your pen, then this game's for you. It will only last a few hours and then you can go back outside and continue trying to hit rocks with a stick.

    If you get more than three hours of entertainment out of this game you must be using the disk for a beer coaster.

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

    What game would include a version of Pong as part of its compilation? That has to tell you something. I can live with Breakout - but Pong? That's digging to the bottom of the barrel.

    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.

    he game also includes a mixer to practice songs, but the buttons to change venue, tempo, and difficulty didn't exist on my copy of the game, so I couldn't even try this out. Weird!

    Realism has its place in games but the realism that the developers chose to highlight in Aquanox 2: Revelation actually impedes the gameplay.

    The game looks good, sounds good, has a great collision detection system, no drop in the framerate or any other noticeable technical flaws. But like so many sequels, it's just void of a soul.

    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.

    Once I had committed a few hours to the game and was deep inside Venice leveling up and completing quests, I was indeed drawn into the game. But the sordid path it took to get me there and the unnecessary complications of the map were beyond frustrating and would turn away most gamers.
