    Monster 4X4: World Circuit
    Unremarkable but not awful. About as average as it gets.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Spectral Souls: Resurrection of the Ethereal Empires
    Spectral Souls is food for the TSRPG fan's spectral soul, but more mainstream-style fans may feel left out in the cold by the game's mad-depth, complexity and difficulty level. On the upside, those words are music to hardcore fans' ears.

    FPS Creator
    Casual fans of the genre may want to think twice about the work that will be needed to create a game.

    • 31 Critic Score
    Transformers: The 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.

    Fish Tycoon
    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.

    WWII Tank Commander
    Is it fun? Barely. It's an untapped section of the WWII experiance so it does have a bit of novelty there.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Freedom Wings
    It's a good flight simulator for the DS, but it feels incomplete and lacks difficulty.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rampage: Total Destruction
    If you were a big fan of Rampage and have been thinking "I'd like this more if I could physically punch instead of button mash!", then you're pretty much the target audience.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Happy Feet
    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.

    Inuyasha: Secret of the Divine Jewel
    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.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Crime Stories: From the Files of Martin Mystere
    I guess Crime Stories is good for an hour or so of play, but I guarantee if you play for much longer if the disjointed dialogue doesn’t get you, the poor translation will.

    Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey
    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.

    The Ant Bully
    Flaws and all this is a great game for the preteen audience. It does bear on the repetitive side, but in light of more recent licensed game, at least there is more than two hours of game.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    The game seems to be designed to be rented rather than purchased, as it is not only boring, but short as well. Have a few friends over and knock this one out in an evening. Then return it and never think about it again.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Hard Truck: Apocalypse
    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.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Hard Rock Casino
    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.

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

    The Sacred Rings
    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.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 23 Critic Score
    NeverEnd (2006)
    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.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Godzilla: Unleashed
    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.

    Nickelodeon Drake & Josh: Talent Showdown
    If we’re lucky, the game’s designers will take the lessons learned while creating this game and go on to make something truly great with them. Unfortunately, the flaws that impede the main game and two minigames here rob all three of their potential, leaving us with a title that, quite simply, isn’t fun.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Final Fight: Streetwise
    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.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Zathura
    It actually plunges past mediocrity into outright craptitude.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Game Tycoon
    Game Tycoon 1.5 needs a 1.6 patch to fix some out-standing issues, but otherwise provides a solid game as well as a trip down memory lane, from 1982 to present!
    • 42 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The Sopranos: Road to Respect
    The Sopranos: Road to Respect could have been one of the best games this year. It was very engaging, but just when it seems to hit it’s stride, you run out of game.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Final Fight: Streetwise
    Gamers would do well to let the past die and move on.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    25 to Life
    The only slightly redeeming qualities of 25 to Life are the soundtrack and game play over Xbox Live.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Street Supremacy
    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.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Tank Beat
    A powerhouse at multiplayer, a pinto at single player, if you have a group of friends or the patience to wait for the online players, this is a must have.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Eureka Seven Vol. 2: The New Vision
    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.
