    Asphalt: Urban GT
    It's no fun to drive, and in fact driving itself is something of a challenge. On top of that, having begun life on other formats (including N-Gage), it makes only a token gesture to adapt to the DS's featureset, allowing you to navigate menus but do nothing else with the stylus, allowing wireless multiplay but demanding multiple copies of the game, and using the bottom screen for little more than a topographical overview of the course with markers for each car.

    One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP
    A tiresome waste of a strong license, only the most blinkered fan will derive pleasure from this slog of an experience filled with wrong-headed design decisions intended to pad out a game that cannot sustain expansion.

    Catwoman
    Catwoman becomes beyond sloppy. Ultra-sloppy, if you will. Like the Houston 500, right men?

    Dead Space Ignition
    The idea of an interactive comic as narrative expansion is a sound one, but Ignition entirely fails to do the concept justice.

    PDC World Championship Darts 2008
    The game looks rubbish and is dull to play. Flicking a Wii remote might be more like throwing a dart than pressing a button but it's not much more fun. The novelty wears off in about the same amount of time it takes to throw a dart. Toss.

    Death By Cube
    The sad truth is that there are better looking, better designed twin-stick shooters on the Indie Games channel for a fraction of the price, produced by inspired individuals who have moved on from Beat the Blockoids. Give them your Microsoft Points instead.

    EA Playground
    In short, EA Playground is fun for neither kids nor adults. The mini-games don't have the depth of those in Wii Sports or the quirky innovations of those in Wario Ware. The visuals don't have the appeal or charm of a Disney/Pixar game, or even that one about the puppets in the garden Tom likes so much.

    TV Superstars
    The mini-games do work, and if your idea of a good time is indeed struggling to put on clown make-up on or saw a virtual plank in half you might enjoy them. But I have no idea who you are.

    SoulCalibur: Lost Swords
    To call Lost Swords a failed experiment would be an insult to every ambitious game that fell flat on its face. It feels like Namco put barely any thought into making the not-so-micro-transactions justifiable or even making sure that the single-player focus felt consistently engaging.

    Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes
    Right from first touch, it's clear that Republic Heroes hasn't undergone nearly enough of this sort of testing, and the uninspired foundations are further compromised as they are built upon. As a result, this is a product that will make children frustrated and unhappy, the very opposite of that to which Star Wars should aspire.

    Kung Fu Rider
    Once the novelty of the game concept has worn off, which doesn't take long, the frustration caused by the controls really kicks in.

    Def Jam Vendetta
    This is the first time EA BIG have gotten the mix between style and substance truly wrong. But that's what you get for listening to the marketing department - and not the gamers.

    Dynasty Warriors Advance
    It wasn't appropriate to make a GBA Dynasty Warriors, and the inevitable disappointment of an already extremely tired series has been fully realised.
    • 33 Metascore

    Farming Simulator
    All it had to do was actually simulate farming. That, apparently, is too much to ask from a game called Farming Simulator. In its own weird way, the complete lack of ambition shown by this underdog has disappointed me more than any lacklustre blockbuster ever will.

    FlingSmash
    FlingSmash's title might be short, snappy and to the point, but the game itself only manages the first of those three.

    The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
    I expected better from Terminal Reality. Ghostbusters wasn't quite the real deal, but it suggested a studio that could go on to much better things - and then Kinect Star Wars, and now this. If you don't want The Walking Dead tarnished forever, then avoid Survival Instinct: it is simple hackwork, fan exploitation at its most crude.

    Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
    If you have any respect for the way games should be made then give Interplay a clear message that it simply has to do better than this to compete in the games market. Treat BOS with contempt it deserves and avoid it at all costs - even buying this at a budget price would be irresponsible.

    Master of Orion 3
    If only your enemies displayed the same kind of intelligence, the game might be a lot more interesting - but in fact, the enemy AI in MOO3 is terrible, far worse than in the previous game in the series.

    Gyruss
    Some of the most renowned old games ever have a terrible knack of ageing horribly. Take Gyruss. By virtue of the fact that it was created by Yoshiki 'Street Fighter 2/Final Fight' Okamoto in 1983, it appears to have been granted a disproportionate level of historical interest, despite not actually being anything special in its own right.

    Don King Boxing
    The sad truth is, if you already have a Wii, you've already got a better boxing title in the shape of Wii Sports - a game that not only allows you to pummel away at a cartoon representation of your sister, but also effortlessly possesses more charm, more wit, and - worryingly - a lot more precision than anything this can offer.

    Mad Tracks
    If you want to play with chums, you're going to have to reselect your gang for every two-minute game, as the interface will dump you all back in the wild as soon as it's over. Easier is jumping in with strangers, but none of the tracks/games hold enough allure to inspire much of this.

    Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
    If Churchill had died, we might all be speaking German, but at least we wouldn't have to put up with nonsense like this.
    • 57 Metascore

    Need for Speed ProStreet
    It's dull, it's lacklustre, and it entirely betrays the series' name by having no perceptible sense of speed.
    • 38 Metascore

    Dead or Alive Paradise
    If it's erotic imagery you're after, just get some porn. The visuals will be more realistic, the acting will be better and the plot will make more sense.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Rampage: Total Destruction
    The bottom line is that the core gameplay is tedious beyond belief - so much so that I doubt you'd even get value from renting it.
    • 40 Metascore

    MotionSports
    Hopefully this is the last we'll see of the human d-pad experiment. I spend enough time under the thumb as it is.

    Th3 Plan
    It's not so broken it's completely unplayable, but it's not even basic enough to warrant trying to satisfy an hour's curiosity.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Battlestar Galactica
    The worst kind of licensed game: utterly ignorant of the series' charms it's designed to complement, and bad enough at what it does attempt to make baby Hera cry.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Astonishia Story
    What really nails it to the ground and steps on its throat for Eurogamers is the localisation: now the characters are impossible to relate to or to understand, the plot is unrecognisable (mercifully, as there is no deviation of play paths you don't actually have to know what's going on to know where to go next) and the sparkles of flair that clearly were in the original, now dulled and obscured by wrongly assigned words.
    • 54 Metascore

    Transformers: The Game
    To produce a technically sloppy title is one thing, but the game is horribly flawed from conception to execution in a way we haven't seen since, ulp, Driv3r. Marred by a remarkably vacuous combat system, the pathetic driving and undercooked flying elements merely underline what a thoroughly wasted opportunity this was.
