    Asphalt: Injection
    Asphalt Injection is admittedly a fun and competent racer that delivers a surprising amount of licensed vehicles, interesting locations, and arcade-style racing perfect for the casual crowd but one that struggles to challenge veteran racers. Sadly, the Vita doesn't bring anything new to the franchise or the genre; at least nothing worth spending $30 more than the same game on the iPad. Still, if you need a racing fix for your new PS Vita, and those cutesy karts and characters in ModNation Racers aren't for you, Asphalt Injection isn't a bad diversion and will certainly fill that gap until Ridge Racer finally arrives.

    Eragon
    For a mediocre movie to game translation, $40 is just too much coin to drop for a game that can be played from end to end in a single weekend of casual gaming.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Beginning of Destiny
    Yu-Gi-Oh GX: The Beginning of Destiny is another generic Yu-Gi-Oh game with two major sections of gameplay that really do not blend to make a decent game.

    Over G Fighters
    The planes look pretty and they fly with precise controls and accurate physics, but that’s about all you can say nice about Over G.

    Just Dance
    After a decade of jumping on arrows, shaking maracas, and pointing out grooves onscreen, I think I am finally burned out on dance games. I had hopes that Just Dance might help revive my interest in the genre, but sadly it only made things worse. Just Dance just isn’t that great of a game, period.

    RTX Red Rock
    RTX combines some unique gameplay elements to enhance a traditional third-personal action game, and while it might not be the best game out there, it does offer a certain charm.

    Namco Museum Remix
    Namco Museum Remix is a mixed bag of games as well as a mixed review in quality and what you get.
    • 49 Metascore

    One Piece: Pirates' Carnival
    Pirates' Carnival isn't the buried treasure party-gamers have been looking for. It's more like the fool's gold of party games.

    Garshasp: The Monster Slayer
    Dead Mage Studios have said they are going to put out an update to fix these issues but for the time being we will just have to make do. Garshasp shows potential but it needs some fixes to make it worth that $19.99. At only three and a half hours of gameplay and with all the constant bugs and glitches, I can't condone the pricing when you are going to be regretting it more and more as you play through.

    The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee
    The game is just as dated as the show and it fares just as well with its console competition as the original series would if it debuted on prime time next week.

    Theatre of War 3: Korea
    For players used to harder-core war games, or who can handle the game having a broader focus than the typical Command & Conquer or Halo Wars, it can be a great buy. For the average gamer, though, it's awfully hard to recommend the game, despite all its depth.

    Iron Man 2
    Overall, Iron Man 2 shows promise, but ultimately comes off as an underdeveloped attempt to cash in on the film. Clunky controls and outdated gameplay make Iron Man 2 seem more like an exercise in tedium than the visceral enjoyment that spending a few hours in Tony Stark's suit should be.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
    The production values are all in place and a game couldn’t ask for better sounds or graphics, but in this case they are wasted on a simple exploration game with occasional and simplistic combat.

    Ghost Rider
    Not every comic book or movie needs to be turned into a game, and this is one Marvel character that falls into that category.

    Duke Nukem Forever
    The PC version is definitely preferred over the console versions with better graphics, shorter load times, and a $10 savings off the retail price. Play with a controller and you'll be playing the 360 version that all Xbox owners wish they could be playing.

    Star Trek: Conquest
    Star Trek: Conquest was way too rushed and seems for all practical purposes a quick cash in on the intense popularity of the Wii console at the time this was being made.

    Spitfire Heroes: Tales of the Royal Air Force
    Unless you like flight simulators, you may want to avoid this game. And even if you do, you may not want to pay the full price tag.

    Get On Da Mic
    There's just a guilty pleasure that is inherent in the karaoke experience that helps this game despite its flaws.

    Mega Brain Boost
    It may lack some of the refinements (such as development tracking or download play) that would have made it a more attractive choice, but for the price and genre, you could probably do worse.

    • 55 Critic Score
    Top Gun
    When all is said and done, Top Gun – while technically impressive overall – is not really all that enjoyable or rewarding of a game. Cheap deaths and respawning enemies do not a good game make. At thirty bucks, there are so many games that might be better worth your money.

    Terminator Salvation
    The game is much better when played with a human partner but there is no online option, so you are forced to play in split-screen.

    Lux-Pain
    Lux-Pain is a visual novel plain and simple. Its looks good has a good story and a nice concept. I recommend this title to anyone that wants to try something a bit outside of the norm here in the States.

    Zathura
    While the developers of Zathura tried hard to make a solid movie-to-game conversion, when it comes down to brass tacks the game just isn't all that good.

    DICE: DNA Integrated Cybernetic Enterprises
    DICE –the game – features a high-school story with grammar school gameplay. Only those who are willing to put up with the boring-est of the boring button mashing games will be able to see DICE through to its end.

    Cabela's Alaskan Adventures
    While it’s nice that the game tries to mix stuff up with the duck hunting and the fishing, none of these additional activities excel in any way. The A.I. is lacking, the excitement is lacking, and so are the graphics and sound to convince me I’m there.

    Brave: A Warrior's Tale
    Considering the relatively short gameplay length (the entire storyline can be completed in a single sitting), and the frustrating controls – there’s little reason any seasoned gamer would want to go through all of the trouble.

    Eragon
    Having never read the book or watched the movie I was able to approach Eragon from a purely gaming standpoint and was totally disappointed. Not only did it not live up to the franchise material upon which it was based, it just wasn’t a good game.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    There simply isn’t enough variety in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and the repetitive combat, troublesome camera, and platform-like jumping puzzles will quickly go from entertaining to annoying long before the game is over.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Secrets of Atlantis
    Everything it offers is either totally standard (the gameplay) or a failed gambit (the 1930s atmosphere).

    • 79 Critic Score
    The Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff
    For the generous collection of fashions (and re-skinnable clothing meshes) added, as well as the modern retail décor and fashion runway, it’s not a bad addition to Sims 2 for the fashion-conscious player.
