A very pretty but tediously paced attempt at a God of War clone, in-app purchases might be optional, but that does not change that the game simply isn't that much fun for the four hours it lasts.

It’s not offensively bad, but Record Run just doesn’t hit its marks. You can obviously give it a shot since it’s free, but don’t expect it to grab you for days. There’s simply too little of Harmonix’ knack for music games on offer for that.

Awesome celshaded comic book style, marred by a swath of crazy and incomprehensible bugs, but even if Gameloft fixes those, the basic gameplay of this arcade brawler isn't enough to really excite us.

Dungeon Keeper is an anti-game. It sucks the joy of gaming out of me and it has no redeeming qualities, not in the slightest. Calling it greedy would be understatement of the year. The already tarnished image of free-to-play could hardly receive a more devastating blow than that which Dungeon Keeper has given it. It eats at my soul every time I play it. And that's why I'll uninstall, nay, banish it from my tablet as soon as I've finished this sentence.

Disappointing and uninspired. As a free advertisement game for the Riddick movie, it could have been okay, but at this price tag we’d rather spend our money on fast food, and that’s saying something.

The base game is fun, the controls are neat, and it has all the upgrade possibilities you could ever dream of. Unfortunately, it’s also completely unbalanced, entirely favors those who spend big bucks, and brings together all your worst fears and prejudices about fermium games in one neat package.

We are far, far beyond “so bad it’s good” territory here. Dark is a botch job, avoid it like a vampire avoids the sun.

Brain-dead licensed shovelware.

Fun and simple mechanics, pixelated retro charm and nostalgic music. This could be a fun little distraction if it weren't because the game is full of in app purchases, so much that this has to be the most greedy attempt on grabbing players money seen in a long time. Too bad.

Do you want sad faces on Xmas? Do you like pointless mini-games with poor and confusing controls? Would you prefer everything looked like Wii party-games with slightly sharper graphics? Would you love to have to buy two wiimotes, two nunchucks on top of your Wii U and Gamepad to play with a friend? Then this game is for you.

Nihilistic disappointed with Resistance for the Vita, and with Black Ops Declassified, they're scraping the bottom.

With such a solid heritage to draw upon, its almost unbelievable how little of the original games that remain here. A hollow experience that quickly falls apart.

If I worked at Gearbox, it would break my heart to see my dearest franchise abused in this way.

Tokyo Jungle seems to completely miss the zeitgeist and the strengths of its chosen platform. It's barely recommendable for the most fanatical of animal friends, and everyone else should look for other hunting grounds.

There's not a single reason to spend your time or money on this dilapidated adventure. You'll be much better off with Torchlight, Crimson Alliance or Dungeon Defenders.

There are so many good games out there that we have to command you to avoid this one. Even in spite of the colorful graphics.

An uneven collection of mini-games that are only occasionally suited for multiplayer and lacks the depth to entertain in single player.

One of the most meager party games we've seen in a while.

Unless you unequivocally loved Duke Nukem Forever, there's no reason to invest in this DLC campaign. It offers more of the same, without any noteworthy additions or improvements. Combine that with some obvious graphical glitches and odd bugs, and there's little left to salvage the overall impression.

Unless you're the kind of fan who already owns every Pokémon game and knows everything about the creatures and characters, you're bound to lose interest quickly due to the extreme simplicity and lack of depth, and return to the more ambitious chapters of the series.

There's no doubt of the developer's intention of creating a God of War-like adventure starring Thor, but pretty much nothing works in the 3DS version. It's one of the crummiest titles we've seen on the handheld so far, and one that doesn't really get anything right.

A frantic shoot 'em up that throws new ideas at you constantly, but ends up punishing the player with an unfinished quagmire that wont appeal to anyone except perhaps the most dedicated genre fans.

It improves a bit on last year's game, but that doesn't change the fact that this is an uninspired shooter that feels like the Harry Potter license has been forced upon it.

Everything in this game smells of calculated recycling and boring gameplay possibilities. Some people might find this attractive based on a few hours play, but you'll be sighing for more content only a short time later. The best thing about it is the included demo of the coming Resident Evil Revelations, and that says it all.

Even given the low price, this is a terrible game in every way, and you have to wonder what happened to the quality control. It's embarrasing, and we can only hope Warner delivers a better game for the full-blown consoles – if not, they deserve a beating with the green hammer.

A lackluster side-scrolling action game with boring graphics, tedious combat and shoddy interface design. Boss fights are ocassionally interesting, but it's not enough to change the overall impression of a game not worth your time.

You can see everything Steel Diver has to offer within the first hour, and it never seems to find its footing in regards to either gameplay or design choices. If the horrible sound doesn't scare you off, the confusing controls probably will.

Feels as if the developers have tried to redefine just how bad movie tie-ins can be. The fighting system is boring, the overall structure is lazy, the graphics are ugly and the framerate is atrocious. But at least it's short.

Escort missions are rarely any good, but for some reason Namco Bandai has decided to release a game based just on that. The occasionally decent combat action is nowhere near enough to make up for the otherwise tedious gameplay, horrendous dialogue, awkward QTEs, ugly graphics and prolonged yet mind-numbingly boring cut scenes. Avoid at all costs.

The idea of a sort of side scrolling Breakout clone is pretty neat, but punching your rubber ball hero Zip around feels more random than you'd expect from the otherwise precise Wii Motion Plus. You're likely to get a sore wrist from contantly flailing your arms around, and the gameplay lacks both variety and challenge. It does come with a WiiMote plus though, which is nice.

A traditional beat 'em up that runs out of steam after about an hour. From that point on, everything is just a rehash of what has gone before. The environments are bland, the enemies lack variety, and in generel it feels like the details haven't been paid enough attention. The Japanese hairdo's are cool though.

If you were to judge the capabilities of Kinect based solely on Sports Island Freedom, you'd be likely to think the device was a horrible failure. The menu is a mess that's hard to navigate, and things just go downhill from there. The controls are awful across almost all disciplines. Get Kinect Sports instead.

The actual golfing mechanic is spot on and very impressive, but there isn't a lot to actually do. The landscapes are hopelessly dry and uninspired, and the soundtrack doesn't consist of much else than Daly's three power sentences that follow every shot. It works as a technical demonstration of what Move can do, but not much else. If you're looking for a good golf game, look somewhere else.

The game is tedious and lacks variety, even though it claims to have over 70 moves. You have to go through seemingly endless repetition to unlock new opponents, and the actual combat is slow and boring. A waste of time.

Harry Potter turns into a wannabe third person shooter, and the result is abysmal. Movie-based games get a bad rap, and its because of titles like this one. We can't think of anything nice to say about it, not even when playing it with Kinect. It's a bad game from end to end, and has no redeeming qualities. Avoid at all cost, even if (or maybe especially if) you're a Harry Potter-head.

Start the Party is a collection of entirely un-fun mini games for PlayStation Move with obnoxious presentation. A horrible example of the worst that casual gaming has to offer. Avoid at all costs.

A wannabe God of War that pretty much fails to get anything right. Boring and repetitive action and completely unremarkable level design. Avoid.

Boring and uninteresting job mechanics make this Sims-expansion a disappointment. Anyone but the most die-hard Sims-fans should get their fix elsewhere.

Games based on movie licenses get a bad rap for a reason. Iron Man 2 is one of them. Graphics are choppy, environments are dull, and everything feels slow. Avoid.
