Avatar: The Last Airbender is, while not a horrible game, not nearly as good as it could have been. Unless you’re a die-hard fan of the show, choose "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance" instead.

If you can forgive the game's sloppy visuals, lacking content, and rushed feel- and are simply looking for a better way to web swing then maybe this game can temporarily fill your Wii drought.

Rugby 08 is at the end of the day an average re-release with some updated features.

While a fairly decent attempt at a Dragonball Z game it does not live up to the legacy left behind by the Budokai games.

If you’re a survival horror fan looking for something that doesn’t involve zombies, genetically engineered mutants, aliens, or any of the other usual cliches of the genre, Rule of Rose might interest you with its 1930s setting, creepy children, and unsettling atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the lack of unique tracks and insane AI will keep this title from competing with the upper echelon of PSP racing titles.

A game that has much potential, but falls short. A good idea with poor execution.

Fans of the cartoon will probably enjoy this short romp with Mystery Inc. as will young children. Cynical adults and those with a distinct aversion to laugh tracks should stay far away.

Despite control issues Wii Sports is probably one of the only launch titles that offers so much fun from such a small package.

Fails to deliver chills and thrills. It relies heavily on a clunky interface and an outdated camera system, and ultimately doesn't stand up to the competition.

Shellshock promises gamers a chance for a realistic Vietnam War experience, but what it delivers is a repetitive third-person shooter that fails to break any new ground.

Shrek the Third will be a fun game for younger gamers, and slightly entertaining for everyone else. Rent this game, but don't go wasting $50 on it.

Though it tries to emulate many of the signature elements of its peers, it ends up a bit of a disappointment.

While there's lots of story and flavor oriented material here that Harry Potter fans will enjoy, the overall game is little more than a laundry list of chores tht Harry must complete.

While it could have been interesting with proper development, it is instead a forgettable title that is probably not even worth the cost of a Blockbuster rental.

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam could have been an interesting take on the THPS formula and a cool combination of Tony Hawk and SSX gameplay, but instead it's a poorly conceived and designed mess.

A pretty standard classics collection. On its own it's exceedingly average, but if you've got a soft spot for one or more of these games, the awards might make it worth your time.

If played for too long, I found the game to be rather tedious and repetitive, but in short busts (about one mission per seating, I would say) the game can provide fun.

The game might make a good rental if you're looking for some hardcore hack and slash action, but is scarcely worth buying.

With inexcusable control and targeting issues there is no reason to subject yourself to this game.

It can be fun with two players, but it's a real stretch. With Aggro, there is a sentiment to try it at least once, but we can't recommend more than that.

Despite having a great premise for a stealth action game, we were disappointed by the finished product.

The concept was great, the only thing working against it was the fact that using the touch screen to shoot zombies could have proven to be too easy compared to its light gun cousin. To make up for this the developers seemed to go out of their way to make the game unfairly difficult when instead they should have increased the strategic elements of the game.

It was an absolute mistake to create a Mario Party game that didn't follow the same mechanics and style as the rest of the franchise.

Kids and adults will find themselves frustrated with bad camera angles and dimwitted Oompa Loompas.

Paying 800 points for this game nets you a pretty dry experience.

This poorly made game lacks focus, organization and any sort of elegance that would make it fun for almost any period of time.

You'll want badly to love it, but only a select few will be able to forgive the flaws.

All of those annoying elements that we thought were gone in the next generation rear their ugly heads. It's too easy for adults, too frustrating for kids.

In the end, it is easy for the average gamer to skip this mediocre action game and not miss out on too much.

Pocket Pool is the perfect billiards experience for those who enjoy fondling their cue stick.

A completely broken team racing feature and other minor annoyances quickly add up to make this a game for diehard Ford fans only.

An iffy buy for Diner Dash fans and not recommended for anyone unfamiliar with the franchise.

A by-the-numbers 3D platformer with some questionable design elements, awkward controls, and possibly the only protagonist ever who considers toilet plungers to be a fashion accessory. It’s best suited for inexperienced gamers, or those with high levels of tolerance and patience.

There’s nothing here that warrants a buy. Fans that want to know why Nightcrawler wasn’t in the movie will want to check out the game from your local video rental store.

It had great potential, but unfortunately Hef let us down with poor gameplay and a rough finish.

Sonic Riders tries to be too many things at once and ends up failing to be much of a game at all.

On a pass or fail review system, this fails horribly. If this was a child’s homework assignment, you could easily tell they put this together right before class started.

Transformers: The Game is a textbook example of a licensed game done wrong.

Fighting is rather dull and uninspired. It's often difficult to time your attacks as Spider-Man is unresponsive and doesn't always do what you want him to.

Don't you have some bottle-cap collecting or laundry to be doing? Either will be much more fun than playing this game.

While every series needs its foundation, Toy Shop feels like the blueprint of something better.

While LOL is a good idea and genuinely is a lot of fun, it lacks many necessary features and options to make it recommendable over just using Pictochat.

Considering Capcom announced Mega Man Star Force 2 before this game even came out, that should be reason enough to avoid it.

Insecticide melds sloppy platforming/shooter action with lightweight adventure puzzling, cemented together by a derivative pseudo-film-noir plot chock-full of atrocious puns. Swat this one away.

It can take some time to get used to the game's controls, because they are so different than other games on the market. This can be frustrating.

While the game is fun in spots, Rocky and Bullwinkle is a wasted opportunity.

Wild ARMs XF has potential, but poor mission design and some odd design choices make it mediocre at best.

Dragonball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu gets credit for trying to provide a more newbie-friendly card-battler, but it comes at the cost of the planning and complexity that makes the genre fun.

Don't be fooled, a new year and a new number in the title hardly makes this a new game worth getting. It's time to add new tracks, or new modes, or something other than the same old, same old, recycled game year after year.

A confusing storyline, chunky graphics, hit and miss controls, and repetitive gameplay make this a game that will only appeal to fans of the anime series.

As for sense of speed, the overhead view often feels sluggish though it offers the best angle for making the best turns. The first-person view looks like it's from a camera mounted under the front bumper, so low to the ground that everything flys by way too fast.

This is exactly what should be expected from a terrible movie; a terrible game.

The game by itself is average at best.

It attempts to do something new, but unfortunately the lackluster driving experience drags the game down.

Despite a cool concept, the unusable controls and other flaws prevent Dragon Booster from making the cut.

Even though it is supposed to appeal to die hard survival horror fans, most will find this game not only steals the best of their favorite games, but does it badly.

Fall of X.A.N.A. has a lot of problems that only fans of the series will be able to overcome.

Plagued by gameplay issues and amateur graphics and sound. Get On Da Mic? Get off da shelves.

Even at the budget price Ninja Reflex is an avoidable title.

Save your twenty bucks for when you’re actually in Las Vegas. You’ll have more fun in the three minutes it takes to lose it than you will in all the time you spend with this piece of digital garbage.

Even at $29.99, Agatha Christine: And Then There Were None has far too many visual and gameplay issues to warrant a purchase. Buy the book instead.

It's an extremely challenging set of minigames based on the most unlikely movie tie-in ever; give it a pass, unless you're as calm, patient and wise as Morgan Freeman.

The whole experience just wasn’t very addictive and the super cute look and concept was just too much for me to stomach.

Unfortunately, porting Harlem Globetrotters: World Tour to the DS has not improved the experience.

Stick with the PC version.

You will develop a new hatred for the words “disc access” five minutes into this game. Stay far away if you value your time or your sanity.

DSI has published yet another stinker. Leave this one on the shelf and go play some real Wiffle ball, if you absolutely must.

Poor camera angles frustrate the player as they desperately try to figure out ambiguous objectives which usually involve carrying things, crawling around, and drowning.

A massive disappointment.

A half hearted effort that feels more like a compilation of demos for bad games than anything else.

If you're older than 10, spend your money elsewhere.

Incredibly shallow, even for a budget title.

If I was handed this game and a rusty meat cleaver and told that I would have to cut off some part of my body with the cleaver or play the game again, I’d be wondering just when I’d had my last tetanus shot.

Take that 30 bones and either buy Tourist Trophy or burn it. Either way it will be better used than if you purchased this garbage.

A terrible Wii-based Crazy Taxi clone.

Wii owners should avoid this game like chickens avoid Col. Sanders.

Not even the most devoted Homies fans should spend their hard-earned money on this.

Hudson Soft needed to add offline multiplayer, more customization, and beef up Act: Zero altogether. It feels incomplete and empty.
