The only thing worse than playing Warhammer: Battle for Atluma would be having paid to play it. Numerous issues including presentation, short length, and rather complex gameplay mechanics make it hard to recommend this game.

A sad attempt to revive a neato franchise.

Superman Returns from EA on 360 is much better than "Superman" from Titus on N64. That’s not setting the bar very high, though. At best, it’s average.

Why Hudson Soft and Konami decided to make a sequel to Rengoku is puzzling. Why they decided to make it just like the original, albeit a little better, is mind-boggling.

Most of the game will be spent staring at constant loading screens, 30 second races where you either win or lose by a huge margin, or cursing your team leader for constantly starting a turf war when you want to go back to your garage and update your car.

Despite hinting at an interesting experience, Valhalla Knights squanders its potential with a lack of style and unfortunately compelling substance.

Big Bumpin’ is probably the most successful of the three Burger King games, if only because it aims so very low.

The over the top acting would have been a welcome release, but the poor sound and graphical presentation just put a bullet in it.

This game could have been so much more. The skeleton of a great game is here, but nothing comes together.

While World Championship Poker featuring Howard Lederer: All In for 360 isn’t the worst poker game ever made, it’s in the running.

It's free, so you're getting what you pay for. Yes, it can be fun, but it should have been a lot better.

A short and forgettable game.

Even if you love the Ford license, this game will just be a waste of not only your money, but your time as well.

Unremarkable but not awful. About as average as it gets.

Poor execution dystroyed this game, with a little polish and better design work this could have been a really fun game.

This is a game that will only satisfy the most die-hard of adventure fanatics. This game lacks the essential spark of life to make an adventure game come to life.

I'd recommend keeping your copy of NHL 2K7 and pretending this year's version never actually came out. Like an NHL videogamers lockout or something.

What starts off as a good old' fashioned beat 'em up title quickly becomes an exercise in tedium.

Far from fun, it holds you hand through level after level of bland action platform gameplay that makes you wish you could escape from this digital nightmare.

A package that will only appeal to long time fans. SNK would have done them a better service with a total update of the game, allowing it to benefit from the improved technology available today. Then instead of making these ports the main feature, they would be a great bonus.

Repeating the same button-mashing gameplay of old and offering just about no other gametypes beyond ad hoc multiplayer, Samurai Warriors: State of War offers nothing new to the player to warrant any amount of time with the title.

It’s a collection of decent puzzles surrounded by a bad movie tie-in.

It's like Vegas without the money and excitement and shiny things.

Tomb Raider Legend DS can be fun at times, but it's a bit difficult to get past the low graphical quality. It also requires a lot of patience and a good eye to continue forward.

Die-hard fans of the show may enjoy this, but only on a home console.

If you like biting your controller and being frustrated at a game that freezes after you've failed to save it for 8 missions, it's for you.

Kids these days... for all the pretty graphics this game offers, it just doesn’t hold a candle to my good old Battlezone game from back in the day, when it comes to gameplay.

If you like biting your controller and being frustrated at a game that freezes after you've failed to save it for 8 missions, it's for you.

It looks nice, and the plot is well developed, but they seem to forget games have to be fun to play.

Hardly entertaining, the game features presentation problems and boring play that isn’t worth the effort. Read the book instead.

It just doesn't manage to appeal to either the hardcore sports gamer, but fans of And 1 will get a kick out of playing with their favorite stars. Anyone else might be better off holding out for a better game.

Things like "depth" and "pacing" are given no consideration here, and that means that boredom sets in very quickly. That's ultimately because, with rare exception, girl games aren't games – they're cynical commercial enterprises that seek to take advantage of an audience that doesn't know any better.

Maybe for the casual gamer who likes to spend their Saturday mornings doing firearms drills on the front lawn.

I feel bad giving this game a terrible rating, because it wasn't terrible. It just wasn't really that good, either. If you're a big fan of the movie, it might, maybe, be worth a look, but you'd probably be better served by a full console version.

Dust Strikers could’ve been a fun game, but the lack of depth and limited replay value keep it from being a must-own.

Die-hard fans of the show may enjoy this, but only on a home console.

Harvest Moon DS feels like an incomplete game. The recycled sprites, scattershot nature of the town and integration of the old game’s cast and town make it feel like an expansion pack at best, or just a half-hearted sequel.

There are some good concepts here, but they get bogged down in some technical problems and major game clichés. Looking good is one thing, but not being able to run smoothly on qualified machines is another.

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.
