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.

Street Supremacy would've done fairly well on consoles six years ago, but for a modern racer, it's barely passable. The lack of any style, substance or polish makes this one you should skip, no matter how much you loved Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

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

It loads and plays, that's about all it has going for it.

The movie tie-in curse rears its ugly head again, producing what's possibly the worst game of the first half of 2011.

I applaud Capcom for thinking big with Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor; the experience they tried to create while keeping the price tag down is commendable. But trying and doing are two separate things, and the Kinect-based controls just don't cut the mustard. I remember the first Steel Battalion, and I was eager to see what its next-gen kin could do. Unfortunately, all it did was frustrate me time and again.

Apparently, Codemasters' quality control team was on vacation when this was being developed.

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.

I can sum it up with one word: sloppy.

Dragon Booster is one of those games that feels like it was jammed out the door to meet the holiday deadline. While it may carry the cool cachet of an anime license, it's control issues and generic production values will have gamers avoiding it like the plague.

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

The game is easy, shallow and repetitive. Stop reading this and buy Brain Age. Your brain will thank you.

As you can likely tell from this review, Hulk Hogan's Main Event seems expansive on the surface, but it's essentially the same basic pieces rearranged and re-swizzled into a few different modes. Hearing quotes from Hulk Hogan is cool, the Achievement Points are easy, and it's definitely novel to strike a pose like the Hulkster. But a bit more grappling freedom would've gone a long way to making this Xbox Kinect game live up to Hulk Hogan's massive persona.

Self Defense Training Camp is an interesting concept, but for people who are serious about self defense, a video game - or at least this one - won't ever challenge a real venue or trainer.

The game is designed well, its interface is intuitive, it rewards hard work and deep thinking, and its has enough excitement to appeal to more than just hardcore RTS gamers.
