    Even though it was given a resolution increase, you still can't play the game widescreen, and porting the 10 year old graphics and physics engine doesn't make it better.

    The targeted demographic often seems to become an excuse for developers to offer little content and oversimplified game mechanics, but any parent that wants to offer something their kids could enjoy on their brand new Wii U should think twice before investing in this title.

    Overall, ESPN Sports Connection was a frustrating experience from every angle. It's sad, but it feels like the game tries to fill a void that simply isn't there.

    Considering the obvious lack of effort that went into The Expendables 2: Videogame, it seems nothing could have saved this one.

    At the end of the day, HoR simply doesn't live up to its potential.

    Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is a great game when Kinect decides to obey to your actions, but when there are simply too many switches, levers, and buttons in the game for Kinect to decipher what you are actually wanting to do, it just makes the experience extremely aggravating.

    While the feel of Star Wars is certainly present, helped largely by the Podracing, the developers dropped a huge ball when it comes to being a Jedi.

    After the excellent Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Silent Hill fans definitely deserved a much better adaptation of some of their favorite games. With embarrassing glitches, problems that should have never made their way into the games, and a disappointing lack of content, it's hard for me to recommend this release.

    AMY
    Amy is a game that somehow managed to take all of its bright potential and turn it into a dark shadow of all that it could have been. No matter where you look, all you see are bad design decisions, poor execution and broken mechanics.

    Unless you have some sort of morbid curiosity and an extra five buck to burn, I won't disown you for giving it a look. But for anyone else, save your money.

    Your enjoyment of Heavy Fire: Afghanistan will be directly proportional to your expectations. There is absolutely nothing that is exceptional about it, which, in my opinion, is just fine as the cost mitigates the quality. It functions as it should, and as long as you don't walk in expecting Call of Duty, your feelings won't be hurt. Much.

    MotionSports Adrenaline will inevitably find itself in the bargain bin a few months down the road, and you will see it...then pass it on by for that fresh copy of Bomberman: Act Zero.

    What else can I say about The Black Eyed Peas Experience for the Wii other than it's a huge missed opportunity?

    X-Fighters ends up being Trials HD's gangly younger brother whom no one wants to pick for the their team, kicking at the sand in the back corner with its hands in its pockets.

    Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions is about as lackluster an effort as I've seen so far on the 3DS. Packaging the legendary originals with their 21st century contemporaries was a good idea. Adding in two very disappointing titles that actually lessen the overall appeal of the bundle, and then charging full retail price is pretty insulting.

    They made a few improvements, but overall the game falls short of all expectations.

    Daggerdale could have been at the minimum a great appetizer for those awaiting the launch of Diablo III, especially for D&D fans. Instead, it ends up being a bland and buggy exercise in tedium.

    There was a tremendous amount of potential for PlayStation Move Heroes. Really, this could have been the first great Move title. But that potential seemed to have been beat down right from the start, beginning with the design choices.

    Avoid this expensive abomination at all costs.

    Hack n' Slash games are abundant and I wouldn't have any problems with Knights Contract if Game Republic took the time to design something clever and entertaining.

    Paintball 2 is nothing more than a scam. It claims to give consumers a way to live out their paintball fantasies off the field, and that promise is an outright lie. Not only is the design lacking in its representation of the sport, but the entire product can barely stand on its own two feet.

    The inclusion of Move controls doesn't do enough to recommend John Daly's ProStroke Golf. Even with the control options, the lack of modes and the plethora of other omissions and short-comings make this an incredibly disappointing game.

    Until they manage to learn how (something other developers seemed to have understood rather quickly), SEGA isn't allowed to put another Kinect game on the market...but we all know that's not how it works, am I right?

    It's not that Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is completely broken, it's just that each and every aspect of it is so flawed that it results in an experience that is mediocre at best.

    Had this game been released back in 2007 or 2008, when the PS Eye first came out, then we could be more forgiving; at the tail-end of 2010 and what we know can be done with both the PS Move and Kinect, this is a game that will quickly be forgotten.

    Unfortunately, Blood Drive is both out of date and has already been done, only better. Sure, there are zombies in it, but zombies don't always equate a great game.

    There's no way anyone should spend any kind of money, or even waste bandwidth to download the demo, for this absolute load of disappointment.

    And the issues with Bloodstone reach further than just a hard to grasp plot. Both the driving and the shooting suffer from a distinct lack of polish.
