    Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels
    While acceptable as a guilty pleasure or five-minute filler with a friend, we’re not quite sure what sector of the Star Wars fanbase Lightsaber Duels will appeal to. With none of the original characters or locations to help older fans overlook the game’s foibles, and a control system that might not suit Star Wars-loving younglings, it could end up missing the mark completely, which is a shame as with a little more attention this could have been a fan favourite.

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest
    While die-hard Tolkienophiles will doubtless find something to go rabid over with Conquest, the average gamer may find themself slightly disappointed with this offering. It just feels too much like "Battlefront" with a new lick of paint, rather than a groundbreaking improvement of an aging formula. If you plan on going into Conquest with single player action on your mind, you may find the plot to be an afterthought, and the gameplay overly repetitive.

    Alone in the Dark
    Alone in the Dark clearly had the potential to be something nearer to a nine, or at the very least an eight, but it just didn’t turn out that way. It’s a curio though, and maybe worth picking up if it ever gets released at a more budget price.

    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
    Another year, another fair-to-average open-world Spider-Man action game.

    Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Battle March
    It’s not for everyone, and it’s certainly not Game of the Year material, but if you do pick it up and manage to overlook its flaws, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.

    Universe at War: Earth Assault
    Everything that's wrong comes down to a lack of polish, and a poor choice in multiplayer game management.

    Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer
    An above-average dungeon crawler.

    Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
    Indeed, Eat Lead is like Domino’s Pizza…satisfying in its initial moments, but after a while it sits in the pit of your stomach leaving you wondering what the hell ever possessed you to indulge in the first place.

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
    A depressingly average Pokemon game that fails to rekindle the kleptomanic, ‘gotta-locate-and-subjugate-them-all’ antics that made the original titles so fun and addictive.

    Worms: A Space Oddity
    Aside from a story mode and some amusing unlockable minigames the only discernable difference between Space Oddity and the Worms games of ten years ago are the Wiimote controls.

    Panzer Tactics DS
    If you can lose yourself in Steel Panthers style strategy games on the PC, Panzer Tactics DS could be for you. If Civ makes your head spin, then give it a miss.

    Wheelman
    We couldn’t really recommend purchasing Wheelman – not at full price anyway. For the sheer fact that it isn’t necessarily painful to play, you might want to chuck some cash in Wheelman’s general direction when it inevitably hits the bargain bins, but that, as they say, is your whack.

    CrossworDS
    This game is versatile, and has tons of activities — it’s probably price-competitive with those huge jumbo books of crosswords you can buy down at the Newsagent. But it doesn’t have the same soul, and it denies you such simple pleasures as ignoring the rules completely and entering rude words in all the boxes.

    Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise
    Unfortunately the final experience feels exclusively created for folk stuck in a confined area with a lot of spare time on their hands and few other recreational options. Like, say, in prison.

    Shaun White Snowboarding
    The more time you’ll spend with Shaun White, the more the lack of polish makes itself apparent.

    Disney*Pixar WALL-E
    Loud and neon-soaked, it’s the quiet, subdued moments that truly capture the essence of WALL•E, a notion that is lost, for the most part, in this disappointing iteration.

    Golden Axe: Beast Rider
    Above all, there's the sense that every aspect of the game has been designed not to challenge, but to frustrate. Like the witch doctors who can summon rocks to fall from the sky and crush you, or the just-barely-visible bear traps scattered about.

    Innovation and frustration tango before your eyes.

    Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2
    A bit of a let down, really.

    Brain Assist
    A physio-terrorist for your mind.

    Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad
    We have no doubt this went gangbusters in Japan, but for those with slightly more discerning tastes, blood and bikinis are simply not enough, regardless of how impressive the jiggle physics are.

    Haze
    Visuals are ugly and uninspired.

    Supreme Commander
    The end result is a much paler, disappointing conversion that besmirches the good name of the series and sets the ‘Consoles can do Strategy games too’ campaign back a number of years.

    Viva Pinata: Party Animals
    Yes, it looks pretty, but without the competitive spirit and creativity of other party games, Party Animals gets old faster than a progeria sufferer. This one is sadly a bit of a party pooper.

    MX vs. ATV Untamed
    A passionless racing cocktail that’ll fail to start your engine.

    Endless Ocean
    It's neither a good depiction of the real thing, or fun.

    Ninja Reflex
    Ninja Reflex is a cool idea that's nicely presented, but it's just WAY too wafer thin play-wise to justify its price tag.

    Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast
    Donkey Kong was Nintendo’s original big baddie. He’s now been reduced to an inanity-grunting, tie-wearing corporate wuss, shilling lacklustre knock-offs of games his mortal adversary in Mario aced the market with. It’s time to stand up and fight! Don’t support this emasculation of a – perhaps THE - classic arcade bad dude.
