If you enjoy RTS games and realize this is an indie title that has brought a new gameplay style to the table you possibly could enjoy it, but this is also the type of game that requires you to be forgiving for design choices, the campaign and its lack of modern looking graphics.- GameFocus

While I know there are plenty of other games out there worse than this, I at least wanted a compelling reason to play it. Unfortunately, there isn’t one. And, to top it off, the $60 price tag was just an insulting kick in the gut.- GameFocus

It still has some elements that make it slightly enjoyable, but with the wealth of other experiences on XBLA, it's really hard to justify investing your hard earned Microsoft Points in a second hand toy.- GameFocus

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.- GameFocus

Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs offers fun gameplay but it lacks content and variety. While kids will have a blast fighting different dinosaurs and trade items with their pals, adults will have a hard time replaying the game once completed.- GameFocus

This is certainly, alongside Rogue Warrior and Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, one of the worst games I've had to play during this generation of consoles.- GameFocus

Gulti know how to design a fast and exciting shooter, that’s clear. However, the flaws here tend to outshine any glimmer of greatness 0 Day Attack on Earth may have had.- GameFocus

There is no real value in this title because of the control, gameplay and difficulty issues. If a patch was released with a control upgrade for the classic controller and to fix other issues, I would say the game would be worth buying but not at the moment.- GameFocus

Despite the stiff stealth/fighting mechanics, the mission’s linearity and the trial/error experience, Prison Break: The Conspiracy somehow ended up being enjoyable. I’m sure Zootfly could have done something much better, but in the end, the final product was purposely done with the intention of giving the fans something incredibly easy to play.- GameFocus

Unfortunately, Blood Drive is both out of date and has already been done, only better.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.- GameFocus

Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2009 is a weak game from start to finish, with very few redeeming qualities. The poor gameplay even has the ability to leave you frustrated and tempted to turn your console off. If you’re a big hunter, or enjoyed the past offerings from Cabela’s and Activision, then you might consider trying it. CDH 2009 is a rental at best.- GameFocus

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.- GameFocus

Let’s face it, this isn’t the deepest experience out there, and in the end, your love of women in bikinis getting covered in the blood of the undead is really going to be the deciding factor as to whether or not you’re going to check this out. The premise works as great B-movie fodder, and based on the gameplay found here, probably should have been left as such.- GameFocus

We often complain that the PSP doesn't get enough games but I would rather have fewer quality titles than something as bad as Dead or Alive Paradise.- GameFocus

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.- GameFocus

As the E3 2009 RTS Award Winner from a couple of sites, you would have expected this game to rival what else was shown and there were some amazing games shown. Now we get to finally play the final game and it fails to even come close to greatness.- GameFocus

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.- GameFocus

Unfortunately for arcade boxing fans, this is one title that’s down for the count by its own inability to move the series an inch forward. Instead, what most will see here is a disastrous attempt to relive past glories, and one that grievously displays how little effort was invested into making a worthwhile comeback.- GameFocus

Alas if you are expecting a World War II version of H.A.W.X. or even just a good action flight sim to play on your PSP you are out of luck. With almost everything in the game so poorly designed and implemented I was left wondering how the game was published in this sorry state. Not a rental and certainly not a buy, just stay away from this and keep walking.- GameFocus

There are right and wrong ways of offering downloadable goodies in preparation for an upcoming release and Ignition is the wrong way. The short side story doesn't bring anything of interest to the table. This should have just been a free motion comic series in the same way the first game had; we shouldn't be charged to play three types of mini-games over a dozen times.- GameFocus

Marvellous and XSeed have proven they know how to make far better than this on the Wii, with Little King's Story, so why release a game that's nowhere near the same quality? Yes, there's a lot to do, but when none of it is particularly fun, it's hard to recommend to anyone but the most hardcore RPG fans, and even they may tire of the broken combat and repetitive mission structure. Enter Valhalla at your own risk.- GameFocus

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.- GameFocus

If you can get past Iron Man’s head-scratching learning curve, what are you left with? A game that’s far from perfect, but still better than a lot of movie and comic book tie-ins that have come before ( *wink* Catwoman).- GameFocus

The game appears to be confused if it is an arcade title and if it is, make it fun by have us fishing some rare and cooler fish, other then what they have in the game and if they wanted a simulation, why the lame controls, bad motion controls and poor gameplay overall. This is not even a rental, stay far away from it.- GameFocus

The whole thrill of stealth action is the ability to outsmart your opponent. So what does Vampire Rain do? It gives you singular, trial and error paths that has about as much variety as a prison meal.- GameFocus

Anyone who is tricked into paying full price for this game should never be allowed to buy another game, ever. Be smart and check it out as a rental or grab it soon when it finds its way to the bargain bin, sporting a big red tag that says CLEARANCE. Otherwise, avoid this dog of a game at all costs.- GameFocus

I always try to find some positive beneath the negative. Unfortunately, Box Office Bust doesn’t deserve the try. It took away all the respect and love for the franchise I had left. Just like George Lucas tried to do with the Star Wars Holiday Classic, Codemasters should go out, find all the copies, bury them in the darkest place known to man, leave it there and never speak of it again.- GameFocus

While most of it seems like deja-vu, I was able to see an improvement from most of past Cabela games, especially that pathetic Dangerous Hunts game from last year. If I had a hunting game to recommend to someone that knows squat about hunting, give this one a try but don’t expect the greatest game of all time. Its fun while it lasts.- GameFocus

With an inability to keep gamers occupied, the repetitive nature will only turn younger players off. Had there been either more games to experience, or less focus on simple fetch quests, this would have been a sure-fire hit for youngsters.- GameFocus

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.- GameFocus

TNT Racers is a good game that desperately needs to have more people playing online to make it a stand out title. If you can organize some races with friends nearby, you will definitely enjoy yourself; but if you're playing alone or are hoping for some online multiplayer enjoyment, be prepared to wait.- GameFocus
