Considerably less enjoyable than the now two-year-old (and eminently enjoyable) "Massive Assault," which had better AI, a stronger political system and even better production values. Save yourself some money and pick up a copy of "Massive Assault."

Spotty AI results in way too much micromanagement, which is a true shame for any game, but especially for a strategic one bearing the Star Trek license.

Sure to disappoint fans of the franchise, but may be a nice "lite" introduction to newcomers.

Entertaining and charming, but a little on the "incredibly short" side.

The controls are sketchy and I can't understand why humming with lips press against the microphone earns a better score than actually trying to sing.

Destroy All Humans! was a good game, as was the sequel, but this third one completely misses the panache, personality and polish that made the previous outings so fun.

Lair looks phenomenal and is an ambitious and novel concept, but its horrible controls and linear environments kill the fun faster than a dragon can cook up a burger.

If you like a beat ‘em up style title, Seven Samurai 20xx is a good rental. I wouldn’t recommend buying it because it’s just too darned easy.

Avoid boarding this ship altogether and aim for the horizon's next bright star instead.

Spider-Man Edge of Time isn't a completely bad game, as the mechanics are all in place and nothing really is broken within the game – but it's not necessarily what I'd call a good game either.

If you're tired of the traditional pinball game then you might find Flipper Critters mildly amusing for its quirky style and large environments, but if you're looking for something more traditional with quick gameplay or point delivery system then you might want to look elsewhere.

NBA Ballers: Chosen One tries to do too many things at once, never really succeeded at any of them.

Generally not a terrible game, but it grows tedious all too quickly.

The gameplay is what really matters, I suppose, but although the swimming motions are pretty intuitive, the ramp-up in difficulty and lack of true leveling-up render the game a bit tedious after a while. That, combined with the nagging issues above, make it hard for me to recommend Michael Phelps: Push the Limit even for the biggest of Michael Phelps fans.

Major League Baseball 2K11 has the fortunate (for 2K) distinction of being the only Xbox 360 baseball game, and one of just two on the PS3. However, it has the dubious distinction (for gamers) of being the one sports game this year that fans should absolutely avoid. If that means taking a year off of baseball, I definitely advise taking that vacation.

Even though four sports are included on this disc, none of them stand out as something that needs to be played.

An interesting experiment for EA and the NFL. Now let's forget it ever happened and kill the idea altogether.

It does one thing right: it has a ton of hack-and-slash action. Beyond that, it doesn't have many redeeming features. A long list of small bugs, weak role-playing elements and an atrocious camera prevent it from being a worthy purchase.

Would have made a better GBA game.

If you're one of those people who can tolerate slowdowns, stalls and stutters when you're doing your best to flank an enemy, then maybe you will love this game. Otherwise, it's just an exercise in frustration.

Even with the lack of options, NHRA Championship Drag Racing is still the most in-depth drag-racing simulation ever released for a console.

The steep difficulty of managing characters can become overwhelming, and the combat at times seems a bit too fast-paced for the game’s own good. The result is a good concept that finds itself in a messy situation, the video-game equivalent of cement shoes.

Too many nitpicky annoyances combined with not-quite-ready for prime time controls make this a good game only for the most forgiving player.

The third time is definitely not a charm. Multiplayer is better in concept than practice, and the rest of the game just feels "tired." Even fans of the series will lose interest.

Just be forewarned - although this game offers Xbox Live support, nobody is playing it online. After two weeks of trying, I never found a single game online.

Poor presentation and a steep learning curve hinder what would have otherwise been a fun bowling sim.

A decent game that's absolutely massacred by the lack of a second analog stick.

Poor execution, no real personality and identical gameplay across multiple characters squash the fun factor like a 50-ton Acme anvil.
