    WinBack 2: Project Poseidon
    Two years later, this doesn't look any better than Cavia's earlier efforts -- its visuals are marred by aliasing that's unforgivable at this stage, and the animation blending is so primitive that you can't even reload while moving -- while its design doesn't try very hard at much of anything.

    Rampage: Total Destruction
    Sadly there’s no traditional one-on-one mode, so players aren’t given the chance to inflict heaps of damage on one another.

    FIFA World Cup: Germany 2006
    For the second time in under a year, EA fails to impress with a next-gen football game. 2006 FIFA World Cup comes off as a quick cash-in to make a fast buck before the big event in Germany this June.

    Black & White 2 - Battle of the Gods
    This one’s an easy case of “if you liked the original you’ll love the expansion”, but it won’t be wooing over any newcomers.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT
    It's a budget title plain and simple, and as such it slacks on nearly every aspect. With about three million PS2 racing games and counting -- including Gran Turismo 4 as a $20 Greatest Hit title -- TXR Drift is about as essential as a two-foot high spoiler on the back of your mom's minivan.

    Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
    It’s not a game for everyone by any means, and just about everyone will hate the combat sections, but it’s definitely a game that adventure fans will appreciate.

    Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
    Although Brain Training asks you to figure out increasingly intricate problems in a short amount of time, there's something quite relaxing about the whole thing. Not worth full price, since there are only nine different games to play here, but definitely a fun time-waster. [JPN Import]

    Auto Assault
    Just don’t expect something radically different from what we’ve all be playing for the past 8 years or so.

    Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked
    From the thin level design to the promising but ultimately limited combo system, Sidetracked seems more like a proof of concept than a final product. It does break out into some very cool moves once in a while, but most of them can be had for free, simply by tuning into "Adult Swim."

    Odama
    Odama's craziness is not for everyone. And even the people who like it won't find it to be more than a brief diversion.

    Emergency 3
    Emergency 3 isn’t so much a bad game as it is a disappointing one. It’s a title that has lots of promise and potential, but steadfastly refuses to deliver. You’d think by the third game, they’d get it right.

    Commandos Strike Force
    While Strike Force is not without its share of interesting features, they are lost in substandard visuals, controls, and level design.

    UberSoldier
    The inclusion of some rather uninspired telekinetic abilities does nothing to distance this game from the hundreds of other, more original and more entertaining games out there.

    Top Spin 2
    Top Spin 2 shares a lot of traits with its predecessor, but they’re overshadowed a bit by the maddening difficulty and A.I. fluctuations and graphics that don’t really scream “next gen.”

    NBA Ballers: Phenom
    It is a little disheartening to think that adding two-on-two matches and throwing in a few rhythm games can be considered by the publisher to be innovative, but Phenom's free-roaming aspect has potential if it is fleshed out even further in future installments.

    Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code
    The biggest sticking point is that Untold Legends has been “told” before, several different times in several different guises. While improved from its predecessor, Warrior’s Code is not quite up to the level of a Diablo, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, or similar hack-and-slash titles.

    Rumble Roses XX
    Trying to take dirty pictures with a bondage queen has its place, but shouldn't improving the basic-as-tomato-soup gameplay be first on the to-do list?

    Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires
    It’s not a terrible game, just a terribly underwhelming one.

    American Conquest: Divided Nation
    Steer clear of this occasionally interesting but unfortunately flawed title.

    Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators
    A relatively simple game with a silly name that manages to be fairly fun.

    True Crime: New York City
    On paper, it's got the potential to be more than a match for "San Andreas"; in practice, it's nowhere near it.

    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
    It’s certainly no Crimson Skies, but still manages to give fans of aerial combat an overall decent online and single player experience with a variety of gaming modes and planes.

    Battle of Europe
    But the game runs clean and looks nice enough in action. For a budget price, you could do worse. Yeah, it’s not a ringing endorsement, nor is it meant to be.

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

    Me & My Katamari
    The lack of variety in the levels was a major factor. But even more so was the constant loading and unnatural, abrupt transitions.

    CMT Presents: Karaoke Revolution Country
    But with only 35 songs, unless you’re the ultimate country music fanboy, there will only be a handful of songs you’ll want to sing.

    Metal Gear Acid 2
    It’s taken all the best bits of the first game, dressed them up, and created a game that both rookies and veterans will enjoy.

    Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal
    Instead of saving anywhere, you’ll have to – that’s right – use a spell to teleport to the inn, where Tao can record his progress. In most DS games this isn’t a problem, since closing the DS will pause play. But not here – the game just keeps running even with the system closed.

    The Godfather
    The game creates a distinctive, unflattering view of criminal life in the 40's, and the huge virtual city the Godfather offers is rife with missions and opportunities.
