    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.

    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.

    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.
    • 57 Metascore

    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.

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

    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.

    Who should get this game? Well, if your kid is absolutely in love with the cartoon, and keeps yelping "Kong, king of Atlantis!" at the top of his lungs, I'd imagine your only solutions would be to buy this game or get the kid in therapy, and the game is cheaper than therapy.

    This feels as if it was rushed out for Christmas, and if they would have waited until there was more material from the show, it could have been worth the effort.

    Like vinyl, Adventure Games’ nostalgic qualities are aiding a comeback of sorts. With the resurrection of Sam and Max, as well as some other notable titles, the bargain bin quality of The Secrets of Atlantis doesn’t warrant a second glance.

    Avoid this game at all costs, it isn't worth your time, nor anyone else's. This is what happens when publishers push a game through in order to meet the holiday sales rush.

    ProStroke Course isn't just playing with a handicap. It's playing like it's suffering from a handicap.

    If Coffee Tycoon were a beverage, it would taste worse than cold coffee with a shot of urine in it. Try Lemonade Tycoon 2: New York Edition for a much more pleasant beverage-tycoon gaming experience.

    Generic and poorly executed, there is absolutely no reason for you to buy this. In fact if anyone ever gives this to you as a gift, they might hate you.

    A note to those hoping Tao's Adventure might fill the gaping hole in the DS lineup caused by a lack of RPGs - you're better off with the gaping hole.
    • 56 Metascore

    This one of the worst games I've ever played on the DS. There's nothing for fans of the series. They strip the cartoon into skeletal framing. There's nothing for gamers; too many bugs and too little variety.

    In the end this will end up in the bargain bin before the next season hit television. Not all licensed game suck, but Avatar certainly lives up to the stereotype.

    For this pile of crap with a multitude of problems, no variety and fewer options than virtually every Bomberman game released since the 16-bit era, do you know what the asking price is? Oh, no, this isn’t some bargain bin title – they’re charging a full $50 for this sick, anorexic puppy. Do I even need to go on?

    As far as I can tell, Zoey 101: Field Trip Fiasco is not a game. It is a despicable attempt to steal your money.

    Even for a quick rush license game, this a new standard in how incomplete a game could be. What troubles most is that each of the games feels like a flash game. These could all easily be played on a keyboard and mouse, than any controller let alone the Wii Remote.

    There have already been so many Naruto games, that this was bound to be bad. With too little focus on game construction, this ends up being more generic than Dollar Store toothpaste.

    The whole game is plodding and repetitive, and it doesn't have a single redeeming quality.

    A hideous gaping maw of evil. It will make you sick, if you buy it for your kids they will hate you. If this is what the industry thinks will get more girls to play games then we need different girls.
