    Far Cry Vengeance
    Vengeance continues Ubisoft’s trend of releasing rushed port after rushed port to the Wii in hopes that gamers are indiscriminating enough to buy a game they’ve already played with added motion control. Given another month or two in development, it might easily have been worth it. In its current state, however, Far Cry Vengeance is harsh, glaring proof that this strategy isn’t working.

    The Ant Bully
    Adults won’t like it, children don’t like it and absolutely no one should pay money for it—not even as a rental. Heck, we got our copy for free, and we still feel cheated. Stay far, far away from this trash.

    Superman Returns
    It's not nearly as bad as the notoriously awful "Superman 64," but it's yet another chunk of kryptonite plaguing his video game career.

    Superman Returns
    Oddly enough, the music sounds quite good, with orchestrated ditties that are downright inspiring. Too bad the rest of the game inspires nothing but an urge to power off your console.

    Reservoir Dogs
    Blurry characters and environments, rigid animation, and overdone physics all add up to a package that comes off as rushed and uncared for.

    Reservoir Dogs
    Just when it seemed the industry had figured out how to turn some movies into fun gameplay experiences, with Reservoir Dogs, its as if they haven’t learned a thing since "E.T."

    Juka and the Monophonic Menace
    Feels more like doing chores than saving a world. Combat is both clunky and unengaging, and hearing the story just isn't worth trudging through the slow gameplay.

    Bubble Bobble Revolution
    This isn’t anywhere near as good as some of the Nintendo DS's other classic remakes, such as Namco's Dig Dug: Digging Strike, which was both fun, innovative, and actually worked properly out of box.

    American McGee Presents Bad Day LA
    All the action is staged on truly horribly designed levels that go out of their way to prevent exploration as clumsily as possible.

    Bomberman Act: Zero
    There is simply monotony, pain, and a deep feeling of loss.

    50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition
    At every turn the game beats you over the head and inundates you with 50 Cent, both as a rapper and a brand, to the point where the whole experience comes off as one ridiculous narcissistic commercial.

    Tenchu: Dark Secret
    Fans of the series will find absolutely nothing to like here, and it’s likely that any gamer making Dark Secret their first Tenchu game will never buy another one.

    D1 Professional Drift Grand Prix Series
    The promise of a decent drift game is there, but a shoddy interface, loose controls, glitchy gameplay, and impossibly steep learning curve prevent D1 from racing to the finish line.

    NFL Head Coach
    NFL head Coach is obviously targeted toward a very niche group of extreme football enthusiasts, but the game, such as it is, has been made into such a laborious, oftentimes arduous affair that even the target audience is likely to be turned away.

    Moscow to Berlin: Red Siege
    In order to create a challenge in spite of the idiotic artificial “intelligence,” units are extraordinarily weak and feature dubiously sub-par pathfinding. Units will get jammed together in cramped areas before buckling and dying after only two to three hits.

    Disney/Pixar Cars
    Cars for the DS is short, frustrating, and uninspired, and with so many versions available, there is absolutely no reason to pick this one up.

    Cars
    The game's extremely short length, zoomed in camera, and unhelpful guiding arrows make Cars a disappointing game that isn't even worth a rental.

    X-Men: The Official Game
    The DS version of X-Men tries too hard to take advantage of the DS’s touch screen, and this is where it fails. The play control is unique but tiring.

    Over the Hedge
    Over The Hedge's quality ranges from decidedly below average to outright terrible, and you can almost hear the executives at DreamWorks and Activision trying to squeeze every cent out of the license instead of making an entertaining game.

    Rampage: Total Destruction
    The formula was never that good to begin with, and shiny new graphics, tons of new monsters, and a host of unlockable moves simply cannot hide the fact that Rampage, no matter the generation, is a bore.

    Drakengard 2
    Drakengard 2, instead of improving on the original, nullified the weapons system, replaced an interesting hero with an unoriginal cookie-cutter protagonist, and managed to make what should have been a fun game - Dynasty Warriors mixed with Panzer Dragoon Orta - tedious and boring.

    Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop
    Save for a very few highlights, this is a rather soulless game that will bore even the younger gamers whom it has obviously been made to entertain.

    Dragon Booster
    Even if you’re a fan of the anime, it’s impossible to imagine that anyone would find enjoyment in this game.
    • 44 Metascore

    Pac-Man World 3
    Ultimately, this might be the worst game on the DS yet. The camera alone ruins it, even if the rest of the game wasn’t utter garbage.
