With all six of these sports, Ubisoft tries really hard to be alternative and extreme, but nothing in its gameplay really captures "extreme" it at all. There may be adrenaline involved in these real-world sports, and there obviously is Adrenaline in the game's title, but there isn't a single ounce of it in the gameplay.

Cheap AI, lame graphics, dull gameplay. It's all there for the suffering.

From the over-reliance on cutscenes and combat that doesn't quite fit, The Da Vinci Code is one of those properties that lives up to the reputation for bad movie-licensed games. Add some cardboard graphics and emotionless audio, and you've got a lemon.

Straight outta' crap-ton.

The minute you discover the lack of true voice detection, all the fun is spoiled.

A slightly below-average RTS with such poor AI; the whole game is rendered very un-fun. My advice? Unless a pathing patch comes out real soon, ignore this game entirely.

One huge disappointment in Blade and Sword is the total absence of a multiplayer mode! Just a few good multiplayer options could have made this game a little more interesting or at least extended the replay value.

This is a bad game. A game so bland and annoying, it took twice as long as most other titles to play for a review because I could only bear it in 20-minute doses.

Straight outta' crap-ton.

You're far better off reading the book. It's cheaper, too.

I don't know one serious gamer who would be enticed by this sad mix of boring gameplay and soft-core porn. Playboy: The Mansion is as deep as a kiddie pool, which also matches its maturity level.

So Ubi, I'd like to let you know that you've done a great job alienating a once ravenous fan.

It's just a waste of a strong license. I really hope Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the book this mess is based upon, had nothing to do with ok'ing this game. Avoid at all costs, even if it's in the discount bin.

It’s also painful to say that I’ve heard far better music on the GBA. The Casio-style representation of the score is beyond belief, considering that music is 50 percent of the Star Wars franchise’s success.

Careful not to fall asleep.

Think of Superman Returns as an insanely boring exercise in flying from one end of Metropolis to the other -- non-stop and for 10 hours -- while waiting for the next "battle 10 robots" or "battle eight dragons" or "battle six radioactive gargoyles" button-mashing sequence to ensue.

A huge yawn-fest, even kids won't enjoy it for long.

Almost enjoyable. It’s a shame they didn’t work harder to make it the action game it so badly wants to be.

Sega's not alone in milking classic franchises, but Sonic is definitely one that should stay off the next-gen systems. Nothing personal; the experience just doesn't translate well.

So there you have it, Astonishia Story, a feeble attempt by Ubisoft to bring a hackneyed tactical RPG to American shores.

Why play a cheap imitation when the real stealth games are so much better?

There's nothing redeeming about this game other than some decent surround-sound effects and the closing credits.

There's bad, and there's really bad. Somehow, someway, EA has managed to eclipse both with NFL Tour. Please bring back NFL Street.

Series fans should be outraged at this desecration of the Mobile Suit Gundam name.
