The worst defect a video game can have, is to be so poorly designed and/or implemented that it becomes unplayable. Which is the case of Sonic Free Riders, a perfect example of an opportunistic product, a rehash of an older title repackaged to take advantage of Kinect's launch window. Movement caption is poor, the environments are confusing, the menus probably are the work of the devil himself... to sum it up, this surfing experience was more of a nightmare than the dream we'd all love to play thanks to Back to Future 2.

PONG Quest seems a first like a nice mix between the old-school Pong matches and the rogue-lite/dungeon crawler genres. But thanks to generic and random dungeons, too much randomness and a useless length, the old fans of old might not see the end of its five stages, and mandatory grinding. Too bad, because some fights were worth the trip.

This is not the ultimate karaoke experience that was promised. Changes applied to a great formula will definitely annoy those who love the franchise. Singing in your phone looks cool, when it works, but in terms of content and game modes, it's just a regression. Sad.

Despite a coherent universe and extensive playtime, with a lot to explore and a very nice system of alternance between a strategic and a first-person viewpoint, Carrier Command Gaea Mission is completely ruined by the worst possible AI, and FPS sequences that are barely playable.

This is a port that has been amputated of one half of its japanese counterpart (which had two Wii games in it instead of one), and most importantly that is unworthy of the animated series.

ARK Park was meant to be a virtual dive in a dinosaur park, bad and dishonest, it looks more like carnosaur the video game.

To be honest, we weren't really expecting any sort of surprise when booting up Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. The experience can remain nice when played casually, but only when you are two to enjoy it, and haven't played through all the others railshooters out there. There's probably a safest bet you haven't tried yet, though.

So completely superficial, Tank! Tank! Tank! will never require any form of thinking on your part. It's repetitive, and dull.

Impire is not the Dungeon Keeper clone you might have come to expect. It's a micro-management squad based game, kind of clunky and repetitive, but still well-written and funny. If you have time to enjoy the solo campaign, why not, but waiting for a Steam promotion wouldn't be ill-advised.

Claiming Top Spin's heritage probably put too much pressure on Breakpoint to begin with, even more so considering the studio's obvious resource limitations comparatively. Despite some wise compromises and interesting gameplay concepts, Tennis World Tour fails to develop, or even emulate its model's formula, due to an overall lack of expertise. A thorough imitation nevertheless, yet not sufficiently polished, deep, and authentic to fulfill realistic eSports ambitions.

Tiny price or not, there are flaws every game should avoid. Starting with bugs, and other gameplay approximations that spawn frustration, when they are not simply getting the player plain angry. And as you no doubt have guessed, Sniper Ghost Warrior has all those flaws. Even for 40 euros, I'd recommend one less game in your collection, but more money to buy the next real one, which will be undoubtedly be better. After all, it's not like quality First Person Shooters with an enjoyable sniping experience are an unrealistic expectation to have for upcoming action games.

No need to argue, here : Ninety-Nine Nights II will not be the one to contradict the poor reputation of a franchise that should probably stop its course now.

Reliving some of the most popular missions of 007 definitely has something appealing. But the end result, is, alas, an abomination. It's a terrible, dull, and sometimes plainly unplayable FPS which, when it tries to diversify its experience (stealth, espionage, chase sequences), just adds more frustration and annoyance.

If you are a fan of the Netflix's series, the game should suit you for a few hours before all of its flaws eventually spoil the party. Narcos : Rise of the Cartels lacks depth and is not a very interesting tactical game.

With The Cartel, you can see that the developers tried to ensure the atmosphere was nice... but it does not work. The characters are too predictable, and so is the story. The action sequences are too basic... playing in coop can still be nice, but it does not save a game that lacks inspiration.

Bravo Team nearly does the job as a VR shooter, with good controls (Aim Controller compatible) and online coop gameplay, but for all the rest it is really boring. This game is a poor cliché of shooting games, with no soul and no ideas. Very far from what Farpoint did last year.

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a seductive game, but with some poor execution and mechanics and a lot of bugs.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan may very well be PlatinumGames' worst game to date. Looking and playing like a mediocre game from 15 years ago, this game isn't really worth your time (unless you must play/own everything related to the TMNT). The Turtles deserve so much better.

Balan Wonderworld is sadly an old-school platformer with all of the 90's worst flaws. Yet colorful, Yuji Naka's first game with Square Enix lacks almost everything, and everyone who likes even a tiny bit the genres should look somewhere else to find some fun.

Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash is not at all up to the manga or the anime. It could have been a good adaptation if it had benefited from care, ideas and consistency in its development. He does not honor his genre nor the manga he is supposed to adapt. The rendering is catastrophic, embarrassing and shameful for any lover of JJK.

The feeling that remains after playing Mindjack, is that the game had a really nice concept, but screwed it over completely half-way through. Wait, not half-way, even sooner... like, right at the beginning. And so, we end up playing a poor action-shooter game, with no taste whatsoever, with average visuals at best, super repetitive action, not even able to correctly copy what's out there.

Rooted in good intentions, but poorly executed.

Meridian: New World is a classic strategy game. It lacks in variety, but remains fun and effective. Too bad that the visuals have not been worked more.

If you're lucky enough, you may enjoy some multiplayer rounds. Apart from that, there is almost nothing that can hold you. Save your time, look away.

Ghostbuster Sanctum of Slime is a small action coop title based on a single gameplay idea (monsters of a specific color can only be harmed by the same color). But its production value is poor, its story and atmosphere are dull, its levels very repetitive, and human players are mandatory since the AI can't keep up after 3 hours into the game. That's a lot of shortcomings for a single game.

Ape Escape was the first game to require the use of a DualShock controller on the original PlayStation, but this new PS3 episode won't be as important to PlayStation history as his illustrious predecessor was. It's a repetitive rail shooter where you switch from butterfly net to catapult to fan in order to capture monkeys and get as much bananas as possible, but it's mainly aimed at younger kids. With its nice animated sequences and a fair game mechanic, parents can offer it safely, but the lack of a multiplayer mode to share the experience and the overall lack of variety are hard to forgive.

Yaiba is a Ninja Gaiden spin-off, but it can't be compared to the other games of the series in terms of gameplay quality. Absolutely not.

What a sad ending for the Harry Potter videogame saga this part 2 is. Solely focused on action, in order to give meaning to the PS Move but failing in doing so, this PS3 title a simple port of the Wii version. Visually below average, too linear and too short, this adaptation of Harry's adventures will only have appeal in the eyes of the yonger and most Potter-addicted gamers.
