    SSX Blur
    Dedicated (read: sadistic) gamers willing to invest the time necessary to figure out the controls might get a kick out of this one, but the convoluted controls will turn off most players. The lesson here is clear: Wii developers need to start with a blank slate rather than graft old-school control schemes onto the Wii Remote because, as SSX Blur demonstrates, it just doesn't work.

    Enter the Matrix
    The more you play this half-baked sack of pixels, the more you become convinced that there is no The Matrix game, and the only thing being played here is you.

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
    This unfortunate version of HP2 is just plain slow and its handling just doesn’t feel right. If possible, stick with the stellar PS2 edition or the strong Xbox game.

    Divinity II: Ego Draconis
    It promises you the world, but never delivers, which is a shame, because, with some polish and some elbow grease, it could've been a spectacular RPG on the order of a BioWare classic. As is, though, I simply cannot recommend it.

    Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
    As with its PlayStation counterpart, it's best to not even play Dave Mirra. The gameplay is incomplete with inexcusably terrible graphics and thumb-numbing controls.

    Sega Bass Fishing 2
    The sequel to one of the best fishing games ever unfortunately delivers nothing but a fishy stench instead of a prize catch-of-the-day.

    ESPN X Games Skateboarding
    When will ESPN learn the difference between a game worth endorsing and one that’s utter garbage? Not soon enough, apparently.

    Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
    BLSC's camera movement is an immediate hurl-inducing experience: the camera swoops around like a roller coaster gone mad.
    • 54 Metascore

    The Italian Job
    The graphics are crisp and astonishingly smooth, but the game is terribly short—the mission mode is too easy and the auxiliary racing bits are uninteresting.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Beat Down
    Despite offering a laundry list of moves and button combinations, the game's complicated controls feel shallower than the three-buttoned Capcom arcade classics like "The Punisher" or "Alien vs. Predator." Group battles feel too constricted with the auto target locking mechanics, and the simplistic one-on-one fights are somewhere on the level of "Pit Fighter."

    Urban Chaos: Riot Response
    Urban Chaos tries to be different than other FPS titles, and it manages to get a few things right. But shoddy visuals and generic action bring the game down to the depths of mediocrity. [July 2006, p.78]

    X-Men: The Official Game
    Thanks to some horribly generic gameplay and uninspired combat, it ends up continuing the disappointing trend of movie license video games.

    Test Yourself: Psychology
    Given its low price it's not really surprising that Test Yourself: Psychology is just a small piece of what's going to be a bigger puzzle. But if this incomplete diagnosis of a game is a taste of the treatment to come, this is one doctor's visit you might want to consider rescheduling.

    The Sims 2
    One thing's for sure about The Sims 2 on PSP: when load times comprises 30 to 40 percent of the gameplay experience, it's excruciatingly boring.

    Army of Two: The 40th Day
    But for the most part the technical and visual achievements that make this title tick on consoles are all but absent here, leaving PSP players with a broken bro-mance.

    PlayStation Move Heroes
    As a simple diversion for kids twelve-and-under PlayStation Move Heroes is fine. The younger crowd will enjoy the challenges, motion controls, and maybe even the horrific, over-the-top announcer. But if you're a fan of the platforming/action-adventure roots of any of the game's heroes, you'll likely be disappointed.

    The King of Route 66
    The gameplay itself is unchanged from 18 Wheeler, with your lumbering truck falling out of control at the drop of a feather and the graphics looking just a shade above Dreamcast quality.

    ESPN Winter X-Games Snowboarding 2002
    The game features physics that wouldn’t be caught dead in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

    Saiyuki: Journey West
    In this case, though, it’s better to travel with a legend in a book than play as one on the PlayStation.

    Velvet Assassin
    An ambitious experiment from beginning to end, this innovative wartime stealth effort just can't seem to rise above the commonplace level of mediocrity found in a sea of cookie-cutter World War II titles.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Elemental Rage
    But aside from a boring narrative and some excessive backtracking, the cute art aesthetic and challenging platforming make this a satisfactory experience.

    Vancouver 2010 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games
    But even if you are in the game's target demographic, you should avoid this lackluster effort as it just isn't a faithful representation of the upcoming Games; instead, expend that energy on following the actual action and look for the title in a bargain bin once the Olympics have concluded.

    Blade II
    Blade II has a lot of good raw materials, but the end product doesn’t congeal into a bloody good time.

    Dragon Age: Origins - Return to Ostagar
    That we had to wait for the content for so long -- it suffered a delayed a couple weeks after its announced release date, and was subsequently pulled from Xbox Live when it did hit -- makes the quest taste even more bitter. Five dollars isn't a lot to drop on extra content, but when it's as bare as this it's hard to recommend to anyone who didn't shed a tear over Duncan's death.

    DRIV3R
    An intensely frustrating trial of patience that's rewarded with only the most fleeting glimmers of fun.

    The Grinch
    While a scant few of The Grinch's tasks are fun, the rest are either boring, frustrating, or both.

    Fight Drunk 3D
    Fight Drunk is sort of joke app, and although it should probably be free, I'm glad to have paid $0.99 for it. Kudos to GravitySensation for making me laugh.

    Be2 - Escape from Pingland
    I genuinely wanted to like this game. It's based around a great concept and the writing gives it an entertaining personality, but the control scheme is just awful.
    • 37 Metascore

    Speed Zone
    While the outrageous roller coaster inspired tracks and arcade-themed charm where enough to bring a smile to my face, Speed Zone's charm is inevitably overpowered by a lackluster control scheme and a barrage of all-to-frequent deaths.
