While World Championship Poker featuring Howard Lederer: All In for PS2 isn’t the worst poker game ever made, it’s in the running.

If you have a really young girl that just wants to play the most simple and repetitive of touchscreen games, there are still numerous other DS titles that have more to offer in that regard. As for everyone else, steer clear.

For hardcore FPS players looking for a way to keep their skills up while playing by themselves, El Matador might be worth picking up at about $10.

You might be better off getting a different collection of games or downloading these from the internet for free onto a PDA.

If you have a really young girl that just wants to tap left, right and the A button, there are still numerous other GBA games that have more to offer in that regard. As for everyone else, steer clear.

Sony NBA 08 for PSP has all the problems as its PS3 big brother only ... bigger?

March Madness 07 will make you mad it’s March and the only college hoops game you own is this one; stick with "College Hoops 2K7."

It's a good flight simulator for the DS, but it feels incomplete and lacks difficulty.

Outside the rabid RPG fans, who will be intrigued for the unique design, there isn't any engaging experience with Rising Star for more casual players. Even the most rabid of RPG fan will yawn through the poor design.

It's hard to play, but if you like the tabletop version of the game you'll enjoy having this one on the go.

In the final analysis, however entertaining the movie might be, Eragon is an experience that’s better to read than it is to play.

Yes, it’s free. It’s also repetitive, tedious, unambitious and boring. You know how they say “time is money”? Don’t spend your time on this game.

You may be considering this game because you’re familiar with the film, but if you’re looking for a good “cooking” minigame collection, you’re much better off going for one of the Cooking Mama games. Sadly, Ratatouille: Food Frenzy is just (one more food pun, please!) half-baked.

In the final analysis, however entertaining the movie might be, Eragon is an experience that's better to read than it is to play.

Jackass fans, take the $30 you would have spent on this and buy Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 instead. Just pretend the title screen says Jackass Skateboarding and you’ll never know the difference. It’ll certainly be a lot more fun than this piece of garbage.

Destined for the bottom of the bargain bin. Stay away from this one.

If you have a choice, play the much-better Game Boy Advance version of Monster House.

Tries to do a lot of things and wind up not doing very many of them well. It's a good effort but you can find a lot of better titles out there.

Fans of the show will adore it. Anyone else is more likely to scratch their head in puzzlement and move on to more complete fighters.

If you really like Godzilla and have a Wii, then you might want to consider waiting for the price to drop before picking this up. Even then, think twice. Your money might be better spent filling out your Godzilla DVD collection.

Sidetracked is a perfect example of a great idea that didn’t get the proper work to make it shine. With a little more effort, the game could have gone from mediocre to must own.

If you loved the movies, you'll enjoy the game. The game itself won't do much to endear itself to people looking for solid gameplay.

Tedious and repetitive at best, boring and uninteresting at worst, there’s really no reason to buy Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean ... especially if you bought either of the previous two.

While River King: A Wonderful Journey has acceptable graphics and a wealth of locations and varieties of fish to catch, the main problem is that the game just lacks challenge and any feeling that much effort was put into the RPG aspect of the game.

Fish Tycoon on DS is like that "monster bass" you see from the shore by the weed bed, compared to the tiny baby bass it becomes once it jumps on your hook and you land it. Which means, yeah, I was expecting Fish Tycoon to be better on the DS. It's worse.

Think of your least-favorite, most painful to endure pirate movie (like maybe The Pirate Movie), multiply it by 10 and turn it into a PC game, and you'll get the idea of what it's like to play Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales.

This just doesn't cut it. There was some potential, and looking at pirates outside of the frilly shirt and rapier era is a good idea. Swashbucklers was executed so poorly it may scare other developers off the concept.

A sub par game that missed its potential. There could be more to this title, but developers rushed the title to the door. While this game is bound for the bargain bin, it does have some qualities that make it worth checking out when the price drops.

If your young one really wants to play a mystery-solving game, get them Hotel Dusk or one of the Phoenix Wright games, which actually involve some problem-solving. If, however, your kid is a die-hard Nancy Drew fan, just get them one of the books – it’s cheaper and you don’t have to put up with shallow, boring gameplay to get to the story.

Are you in need of a haircut? Pick up a copy of The Sacred Rings and a couple of hours later you’ll have pulled out so much of your hair you’ll be set. Too difficult, too derivative, too damned boring.

So not worth it, pick up "Hearts of Iron II" and get a proper strategy/history game.

Someday, Sega might actually do Sonic right in 3D, but at the moment, this is the worst attempt yet.

This puppy is high maintenence and he doesn't like to play.

Pocketbike Racing is a failed racing game that could have been a good one. If missed potential is worth $4 to you, by all means go for it.

Nuclear holocaust survivors in a post-apocalyptic world filled with people wearing clown masks may find Hard Truck: Apocalypse to be an effective training tool, but anyone looking for a good game should look elsewhere.

If you're looking to relive the glory days of Pilotwings, wait for Nintendo to rerelease Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64 on the Virtual console, or go out and find a copy of Sky Odyssey on the PS2. Either option would cost a fraction of Wing Island's price tag, and you'll have far more fun with it.

One of those "maybe worth a rental" kind of things. But with the frustration this game gives you in pursuit of that simple guilty pleasure, it may not even be worth it for those just looking to wreak a little bloody carnage.

If you want a youth-friendly racer, you may be better off looking at the recent "Cars" videogame.

This game is a damn, dirty tease. No one will buy it for the volleyball and the jetskis. No one will buy it because they want a good casino game or a dating sim. This game’s target audience is people that want wank material. And in that respect, it doesn’t even qualify as softcore porn.

Juka is just too tedious. It feels too much like work, and what good qualities the game does have don't seem like they're worth working for.

You can find better RPGs for the GBA, period. It's something of a diamond in the rough, it's just a bit too rough to recommend.

The quality of this game’s interface proves that RTS gameplay can be every bit as compelling on the DS as it is on the PC. Unfortunately, the severe lack of quality in the gameplay itself makes this completely broken RTS a waste of your time and money.

Jaws Unleashed is a rather scant offering, but it could still be your new guilty pleasure. The field of shark simulators is rather narrow, and it’s entirely possible that Jaws Unleashed wins top honors just by showing up. Perfect for kicking back and turning your brain off, but not much more.

Zoey 101 is a shallow minigame collection that your kid will get bored with within an hour, even if they watch the show it's based on.

If you want Japanese oddities on the GameCube, stick to Pikmin and Super Monkey Ball. This game is just a frustrating mess.

It actually plunges past mediocrity into outright craptitude.

A good game mechanic, but the barebones approach to racing and lack of any other distinguishing features makes the entire experience uninspiring.

It costs a lot more than the movie and isn't that much longer. You might want to just take your kids to the theater again.

Watching the show would be more enjoyable.

Sure, you see the box and you think, “if this is anything like Wii Sports tennis, it’ll be awesome!”, but trust me when I say this is nothing like Wii Sports Tennis. This is everything like every other crappy port the system has received – graphically inferior, feature-poor and suffering from controls that were originally meant for an analog stick but are now shoehorned uncomfortably into nonsensical hand gestures.

Essentially a bland hack and slash. This will scratch the itch of those hopelessly RPG addicted, but it'll be like bumming a cheap smoke. It'll do but you aren't gonna enjoy it.

This game looks like it's got moves, but it can't handle itself in the ring. Stick with Wii Sports boxing - it's not great, but it's better than this, and if you have a Wii, you already own it.

If you have to choose, buy the DS version instead. There are better games for the GBA.

Only for the hardcore of racing fans or if you find it for $10. At least then you won’t feel completely cheated.

Most of its best parts are taken from old games, but kids who just want to play a Danny Phantom game aren't going to care about that. Good for fans of the show.

Better than the Xbox and PC versions. Still pretty darn bad.

It is perfect for fans as it is new material for a show that is soon ending it's run. However if you aren't already invested into the universe, there is not a reason to pick this up. It's too slow of a game to engage you, and once you've invested 45 minutes in starting the game, there is no excuse to be just starting the first real level.

Final Fight: Streetwise pretty much fails to please. A boring story greets you in the main form of gameplay, while the alternate Arcade mode focuses on the lackluster combat.

Dawn of Mana is an extremely beautiful game that is irreparably broken both functionally and conceptually. It may look like a dream, but it’s a nightmare to play.

Left Behind: Eternal Forces misses on all cylinders. The game needs a serious tune-up on nearly every level.

There’s simply no reason to buy this game until EA Sports puts forth a more serious effort at making it playable and fun.

Gangs of London would get wasted in the opening cinema of any Grand Theft Auto game. Although it strives to be all things to all gamers, it comes off as little more than a sad mess of something half-digested, in the final analysis.

Unless you have some sort of sheer morbid curiosity to see a game with what is one of the worst possible stories ever, there is nothing here worth buying.

Gamers would do well to let the past die and move on.

Is it fun? Barely. It's an untapped section of the WWII experiance so it does have a bit of novelty there.

In the name of progress, Super Monkey Ball Adventure has abandoned everything that makes the Super Monkey Ball series fun.

The combat engine, once you experiment around enough to figure it out, isn’t that bad; what is bad is that you’re typically alone and grossly outnumbered.

Night Watch is exciting enough to help you fall asleep... on your watch!

If you don't like 50 Cent, don't buy this game! If you like 50 Cent, don't buy this game, either! Even if you ARE 50 Cent, don't buy this game!

Transformers The Game is painful to play, unenjoyable, and frustrating. Do not approach. Do not buy. Do not taunt. It is lethal and is suspected of fatalities is six states and two Canadian provinces.

This just doesn't cut it. The game starts off from a decent control scheme to grab you attention, but doesn't deliver a real game. It delivers the kind of horrid port you used to see on the original Game Boy.

Even the ill-fated "X-Files" PC game of 1998 was more advanced and fun to play than this sorry specimen.

The only slightly redeeming qualities of 25 to Life are the soundtrack and game play over Xbox Live.

This game's promise falls as soon as you open the shrink wrap. Put this into the system, and the game only delivers disappointment. It is an original idea, although poorly executed that deserves some mention.

Really, aside from the nice-looking replays, this game could have been made on a Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo without too much loss in game play.

It's not a bad game, and it's actually pretty fun in short doses. If you're a patient person who likes to multitask this might be the perfect game for you.

All told, the game's atmosphere is so bad I'd almost be tempted to suspect this game was a parody, if the gameplay wasn't also bad enough to match.

Bad Day LA is a game that could have been so much more than it wound up being. In the end it feels rushed out the door and lands squarely in the bad end of the game spectrum. Take a pass.

The Shield, in the end, is a game that will only appeal to the true hardcore fans. If you love the TV series rent it, otherwise take a pass.

Hour of Victory is simply too bad for anyone to spend their money on.

By the time you finish the burger and fries this game came with, you’ll already be bored with it.

The Shield, in the end, is a game that will only appeal to the true hardcore fans. If you love the TV series rent it, otherwise take a pass.

This isn’t a game. It’s a business exercise in turning a popular license into easy money.

Either version of the game is equally mediocre. The story holds some promise, but the action is so frustrating it's too much work to get to the meat of it.

The biggest flaw of the game, what makes it just about unplayable, is the horrific camera and its lack to obey any command you shout at it.

If you're looking for a good poker game, there are several to choose from these days. If you want any other good gambling though, you're better off digging through the discount PC game section at your shop and seeing if you can find something there.

The multiplayer is fun, but forget playing this alone - there's not enough here.

This game just doesn't get less frustrating, it gets more. The controls are designed pretty well, but it seems as if the objects on screen are disconnected from those controls. It would have been better suited if it was called MX vs ATV: Low G racing.

For absolute diehard Sonic fans only (and even then it shouldn't be played)

The GameCube controller works better than the Wii remote even! Unless you are into the show, you can pass on even renting this title.

This genre has been done better. Looks like Crash has been used to sell yet another crappy game.

NeverEnd may not be a computer virus, but that’s about the best thing that can be said about it. Avoid it at any price.

Big Oil is a big bust ... of Enron proportions.

While the game isn’t exactly a computer virus, it’s so full of bugs, it could certainly be mistaken for one.

If you buy either of these games, you DO need a brain boost.

If you buy either of these games, you DO need a brain boost.

The game is so broken that it isn't worth purchasing. Do not support sloppy game making. Do not buy this game.

Even the target audience has games in the same genre that are more well defined. While these may entertain, after one or two levels you realize that there is nothing new coming.
