    Overall Battlezone offers little life span and just feels outdated.

    Disappointing.

    • 35 Critic Score
    A disappointing experience. Whilst there are moments of greatness; such as playing as an Elk and splattering fields of Orcs with boisterous branches, the rest is a travesty.

    Doritos: Dash of Destruction isn’t the best of games available from the Xbox LIVE Arcade, but for free it is a must-download – especially for achievement junkies looking to earn some easy GamerScore.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Overall, this is definitely a game to avoid. There is a slightly enjoyable title hidden within 20 hours of gameplay, but ask yourself is it really worth all that work for something that even at it's best is average.

    On the whole, Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex is a poorly developed Xbox Live Arcade title. The repetitive puzzles, the short story mode and the lack of decent game modes doesn’t deem the game a worthy purchase – especially at the 800 Microsoft Points price tag.

    Unless you have more money than sense I highly suggest you give this one a miss and go play something else.

    A title that very few people would enjoy. The game’s slow speed and historical context will only appeal to strategic and war enthusiasts, rather than the typical average gamer.

    Word Puzzle for Xbox Live should be avoided, simply because you will typically find more enjoyment from the pen and paper variety.

    Overall, Rise of the Guardians doesn't bring anything new or exciting to the table. While the game's difficulty level is at a decent standard for younger gamers and the implementation of the upgrade system has been done well, there's not enough in the overall package to justify purchasing the game. This is one to avoid.

    Simply put, there is no reason that anyone should pay money to play this game.

    Dart board - £20, Darts - £5, Not having to play this game – Priceless.

    The game is lifeless, dull and has no real goals. You can dodge your way to victory by dodging this one.

    As with many film tie-ins this feels very rushed and it's evident here more so than usual.

    Whether it's a good Kinect game, a good fighting game or a scratch for your Dragonball Z itch that you are looking for, none can be found here. Unfortunately a combination of unrealistic ideas and lazy game design have made Dragonball Z for Kinect a must miss title for both fans and newcomers alike.

    This game might appeal to fans of looking for items in small images but that's it. I'm not really sure how they could have improved the game overall. Maybe get rid of the stupid plot which has nothing to do with the game, reduce the stupid price tag of 800 Ms points and you might have something to keep you occupied for 30 minutes or so.

    Despite the game being only three chapters long with off-line co-op, the whole package is quite simply awful, boring and dull.

    Hannah Montana: The Movie isn’t a total flop there are some good points to the game such as the array of songs, fairground games and the gorgeous Miley Cyrus, while this game isn’t worth the price tag it’s definitely worth a rent.

    Ultimately, Cyanide seems to have released a poor excuse for a TV show to Videogame port with Game of Thrones. It's aimed at fans of the show, and you'll soon realise that Cyanide have used little imagination when creating this title, no doubt knowing that fans will lap this tripe up simply for having the title 'Game of Thrones' on the front cover.

    Overall, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is a poorly developed video game. Despite having the potential with a great set of characters and interesting storyline, the repetitiveness of the title and the lack of variety make it a tedious game to play, that's only saved by the occasional moment of humour. This is definitely one to avoid.
    • 41 Metascore

    Suffering from lack of players and lobby issues, particularly galling given the heightened multiplayer aspect of the game, it’s very difficult to recommend a purchase, especially at the high price of 1200 MSP (plus an extra 1120 MSP for the additional map packs).

    On the whole, National Geographic: Wildlife Quiz is more of an educational resource than a video game, providing players with some incredible high-definition footage and interesting information, yet poor and quite tedious in terms of gameplay. Unless you're thoroughly interested in wildlife, this is one to avoid.

    She likened the game to the various dance routine videos she owns, which I feel is a fitting comparison for Zumba Fitness for Kinect; a non-interactive set of dance routines where you try to replicate the on screen trainer, with little to no feedback or interaction. Then again, if you wanted a non-interactive dance routine video, you could buy something like Carmen Electra Strip Aerobics and follow that instead of Zumba Fitness's rainbow rhythms disco sensation.

    The gameplay is short and shallow.

    All I can say is, don't spend your money on this game because you will be very disappointed and with so many good releases coming out this month, it's not like you will need much persuasion to go and purchase something else!

    This is the worst 360 game I have played yet. The graphics aren’t bad but a dodgy frame rate along with terrible level design, handling and collisions makes Fatal Inertia barely playable.

    The Cursed Crusade has the founding for a really fun game but falls short in almost every aspect. Even playing co-op mode, the game doesn't really change much from the solo experience and with so many problems outside the gameplay, it's not very enjoyable. Sadly, I say this is one to miss especially as there are plenty of titles out there to keep you busy until the end of the year.

    Overall, Megamind: Ultimate Showdown is a fairly poor game. The lack of anything innovative makes it just like the other movie-based games currently on the market. This is only one to purchase if you're an achievement junkie, and even they might think twice.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    Disappointing single player, poor character models, awful sound, and the online portion of the game is hideously broken.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    A graphical nightmare.
