    Unfortunately the huge potential that slumbers within a snowboard legend and a global publisher hasn’t been used. Shaun White is something for the hardcore boarder – only the balance-board-controls truly have their unique feeling.

    Basically a nice Action-RPG which is its own worst enemy with repetitive gameplay, complicated inventory and a dull story.

    SOCOM is the right game for the hardcore onliner, but doesn't deliver a good experience for novices of the series.

    If you’re a big a fan of blowing things up, then you’ll love this game. Literally everything can be turned into flames, but the longer you play the more you realize that Venezuela is not the real deal when it comes to “virtual paradise.”

    Nice graphics but lackluster story and gameplay.

    Though it’s fun at first due to the arcade steering, Wheelman quickly decelerates to a halt, because of the dull story and the imbalanced difficulty.

    Standing at the gates of Mordor, listening to epic music and feeling as a part of a huge battle – these are the great moments in Conquest. Unfortunately the unbalanced difficulty, repetitive missions and dated graphics kill these moments.

    Poor Michael Scofield – The Prison Break TV series is much better than the game, although you get to hear at least the original voices. The repetition of gameplay elements is annoying and the dull story really breaks the game's neck.

    The missing NFL license is a big let-down. Combined with the rather clunky gameplay, you should better switch to the big competitor.

    Sub-Par shooter that has its rare moments when playing the co-op campaign. Otherwise, a bottle of Tequila is more fun.
