    Hard Truck: Apocalypse
    The vast world with bandits and weapon-packed vehicles is an interesting idea, but being forced to meander back and forth across it just to earn a few scraps of cash makes the whole thing boring.

    Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend
    With smartly designed levels and a variety of tasks, there are much worse ways to spend a weekend. Don't expect the trimmings of a big-budget title, but it's a bloody, twisted good time to those who are neither squeamish nor easily offended.

    Smart Bomb
    By far the worst part of Smart Bomb is the loading screen.

    Zoo Tycoon DS
    The tiny, blocky graphics do little to immerse you into the park, and the unwieldy controls make relatively simple actions needlessly difficult.

    Superman: The Man of Steel
    It's just a shame that more care wasn't taken to make his life seem less repetitive and more diverse.

    TMNT: Mutant Melee
    This is some of the weakest, button-mashy gameplay you'll ever experience.

    Golden Axe: Beast Rider
    While the counter-attacks and the beasts add something to the lacklustre gameplay, everything else from cameras to enemies makes it a chore to slog through one end of a level to another.

    Splat Renegade Paintball
    Yes, lucky shots are really the only way you will kill or be killed in Renegade Paintball.

    Warriors Orochi 2
    Largely more of the same.

    The Sacred Rings
    Only those gamers in it for the puzzles will get a kick out of this one--those who don’t get overwhelmed, that is.

    Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
    The game is also short. It shouldn't take you more than a day to complete the 13 levels. Though after tediously walking through gray room after gray room it could feel more like a year.

    Black Stone: Magic & Steel
    A good-looking but brain-dead, thumb-numbing game.

    Salt Lake 2002
    Suffers from a lack of replay value: Once you get the hang of its flawed controls, it is possible to get a gold medal in each event within an hour or so of play, leaving little reason to ever touch the game again.

    Evolution Skateboarding
    Compared to the numerous improvements and mini-games in the incredibly playable "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4," Evolution Skateboarding feels as if it were already on the brink of extinction.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King
    With its anemic presentation, difficult jumps, and random and completely obscure puzzles, it's tough to enjoy everything else Buffy has to offer.

    Metal Dungeon
    The same players who found relentless, party-balancing corridor fighting ultimately frustrating in a cute, cartoony game like "Evolution Worlds" won't find it any more refreshing here just because it's wearing a darker, spookier "Aliens" costume.

    Bad Boys: Miami Takedown
    It looks appalling, contains some absolutely egregious gameplay, and subjects the player to some downright execrable dialogue. Whatever it is, Bad Boys is nowhere near good.

    Soldner: Secret Wars
    There is a single-player dynamic campaign that you should stay far, far away from. The campaign appears to be an afterthought, as does the AI, which does a fantastic job killing itself.

    Final Fight: Streetwise
    The camera is even worse than in the main mode -- odd, when it could've just taken a zoomed-in version of the isometric view that games like Baldur's Gate have used for eons.

    Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood
    Unfortunately, while hitting porn stars with weed whackers to the finely articulate tunes of the Insane Clown Posse might sound like a dream come true to some, the junior high-level execution of this game just brings down any possibility of a truly good wrestling title.

    Farscape: The Game
    Even if you can look past the uninspired visual presentation, Farscape is a somewhat tedious and boring affair that is likely to compel only die-hard fans of the show to play it to the very end.

    Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory
    One of those games that wastes the best material on cutscenes.

    Game Tycoon
    The game isn’t completely without merit, just seriously lacking in fun.

    Mission: Impossible: Operation Surma
    An aggravating save system makes the game almost completely unsuitable for taking on the go, and popping Surma in your Game Boy only amplifies the game's audiovisual ugliness.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Sopranos: Road to Respect
    Even if you don’t find all the vulgar, absurd, and criminal stereotypes of Italian-Americans in the Sopranos offensive, the number of brain cells you’ll lose due to the idiotic gameplay, terrible graphics, and headache-inducing frame rate is enough to enrage anyone.

    Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
    The game tells its story horribly, your character is both improbable and without any personality, the AI is terrible, the gameplay lackluster, and graphics middling. Even as a budget title, which Turning Point is certainly doomed to become, the game is hardly worth the bother.

    Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius
    The biggest trouble spot in Jimmy Neutron, though, is the fixed camera, which lets you see each area in the game from only one angle. While a fixed camera does a great deal to prevent the visual confusion that's often a problem in platform games, it means the environments can't be fully viewed.
