    Silent Scope
    The absence of the sniper rifle peripheral, which made the arcade game exceptional, sucks the life out of this title.

    • 42 Critic Score
    Vampire Hunter D
    Flawed controls and a counter-intuitive combat system just add to the overall frustration.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Driving Emotion Type-S
    The visual effects in the game look amateurish, which compliment the wretched gameplay rather nicely.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Dragon Valor
    The combination of uninspired settings, generic enemy designs, and spotty visuals makes Dragon Valor the very definition of a forgettable game.

    Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage
    A mixed bag of game design that's too complex for casual gamers and far too irritating for hard core RPG fans.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Heavy Metal: Geomatrix
    Presentation, however, cannot makeup for poor gameplay, something that Heavy Metal has in abundance.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Motor Mayhem: Vehicular Combat League
    Motor Mayhem has outstanding graphics and an impressive arsenal of weapons. However, the good stuff ends there.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Army Men: Green Rogue
    A game that can only generate slight indifference.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Sports Jam
    All Sports Jam delivers are loose interpretations of one or two facets of all your favorite sports in one smallish game that grows tiresome after only a couple hours.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    NFL Blitz 2001
    A grim reminder of how lackluster sequels and apathy can kill even a promising franchise.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Zombie Revenge
    The inspired concept is wasted by it's dull and monotonous gameplay, resulting in a disappointing game. While the graphics are great and the game is fun, the replay value is nearly nil.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes
    Realizing that you have just spent 40 hard earned dollars on a game that is barely more enjoyable than reading a cereal box really takes the cake in terms of excruciating actualization.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Sonic Shuffle
    Load times and boring mini-games will have this one appearing in the used game bin faster than you can say "ugh." It's my duty as a human being to warn all against even thinking about buying this game.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Dragon Riders: Chronicles of Pern
    I've never read the novels this game is based on, and thanks to the suffering that I called playing Dragon Riders, I never will.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion
    Murky, poorly defined graphics, an atrocious frame rate and terrible level design culminate to produce a title almost completely lacking in entertainment value whatsoever. Avoid like the black death.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Ephemeral Fantasia
    Reaching into new depths of crappiness that few developers have dared explore, Konami has tried to hide a poorly-made PSone RPG in PS2 packaging.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    KISS Pinball
    It's just plain awful. Even the most rabid of KISS fans would do well to avoid this piece of junk...Squeeze all you want; there's no possible way you could wring even a drop of enjoyment out of KISS Pinball.
