It was more like a nightmare than a dream for me. I didn’t enjoy any part of the game, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody.

Although it's a good idea to revisit the older Gauntlet franchise, this isn't exactly the way to do it. The plot is inconsequential, the characters are less than one dimensional and the game is radically overbalanced, amongst other issues.

One of the most deathly boring games you’re ever likely to play.

The movie had a tired sense after a mere ninety minute running time. Island Attack does not fare much better.

Prank TV is basically a bargain clone of that bargain game, and it’s as bad as that description makes it sound.

A silly story that the developers don’t try to develop, generally easy puzzles that are boring to solve, a bad interface that tests your patience more than your intelligence, and so-so graphics that don’t make the game fun to look at.

There is no solid gameplay to back up what is, at the onset, a graphically engaging 2D engine, complete with special effects.

About the only nice thing I can say about Batman is that it’s short. It only took me about eight hours to complete the game’s five episodes, and I was happy when it was over. So obviously, I don’t recommend this game to anyone for any reason, unless you’re an obstinate fan of the Dark Knight.

"The Legend of Coffin Rock" and The Elly Kedward Tale are scary, but for all the wrong reasons.

The game is about a 10-hour experience. There's absolutely no reason to replay it.

The Wayne vs. Wayne mode is loads of fun, but it's not worth paying $39.99 USD for. I just can't recommend Gretzky NHL 06 over either of the other two hockey video game franchises currently on the market.

And so The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is a disappointing outing.

With Denied Ops, the fifth installment in the Conflict series, Pivotal Games chose to focus their attention on co-operative gameplay, and while there are some interesting elements found within the game, they’re overshadowed by a series of poor design choices.

I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I've had fun with several of the games before. The Force Unleashed II just isn't entertaining, though; as soon as you're able to start having fun with it, it pulls out an obnoxious boss fight or another uninspired level on you. I can't honestly recommend this to anyone but the most obsessive, completist fan of the series, and even he's probably going to have to justify this to his friends.

The game just has so many problems that I don’t think future patches will help it any.

Unless you spend a lot of time exclusively playing Xbox Live Arcade titles, though, it’s probably not worth picking up the full game as you might find you’ve seen and done everything with the trial itself.

There are laughs to be had, and for that it might be worth a rental, but anything more will only be Hazard-ous to your wallet.

I can’t recommend that you go out and buy this game.

Character growth? Unnerving realism? I don’t think so. And when you take away the sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, figuratively and literally, the true gameplay is revealed as repetitive and uninspired.

It’s this emphasis on storytelling that eventually spells the demise for this title. The story just doesn’t flow consistently throughout the game.

The heart of RTS games is all in the maps and how well your enemy plays them.

Just because the engine has been updated doesn't mean the game is any less tedious or frustrating than it was in its original form.

The game's players look great but don't play great. The lack of follow through in so many departments should urge buyers to look elsewhere for a game of tennis.

In the end, like Salt Lake, Athens, Torino and Beijing before it, Vancouver 2010 fails to reach the podium.
