Whether you're playing alone or with others, Wii Play Motion is nowhere near as fun as Wii Sports Resort, as the mini-games are too simple, too few and over too quickly. If you're looking for multiplayer entertainment, there are better and cheaper games to spend your money on.

Building your own Rube Goldberg machines is nicely relaxing, and Create is a game almost entirely devoid of stress factors. The perfect game for getting your pulse down after hours of shooting people online. It could do with more player freedom, and there's a tendency for quantity over quality, but overall it's a refreshing puzzle title.

Only two out of the six games in this collection is worth your attention and not even the newest versions, and that's just not good enough. Only for the biggest fans of the pill-eating yellow glutton.

As a singleplayer experience, Burning Skies only manages to be mediocre with occasional surprises and fun. Flaws like overly relying on touch doesn't help either.

The Adventures of Tintin has its ups and downs, and reminds us at times of Another World and Prince of Persia, but in the end it doesn't have enough on offer to really recommend.

Gets a lot more right than wrong, and even if it doesn't quite match the brilliant atmosphere of the first game, it's still a solid platformer/action adventure with excellent production values.

Don't expect to be blown away by weeks of fun, but prepare yourself for an hour of pleasant challenges and a strong take on how to make dancing games work on handhelds.

Despite its beautiful visual design and lovely interpretation of Paris in the 1920’s, Contrast is held back by flawed technical execution.

A real time strategy game without armies or war is a neat idea, and the premise of fighting fires, natural disasters and other emergencies is downright clever. However, the game is hampered by clumsy and overly elaborate controls, meaning you end spending just as much time working out how to use your units as you do actually rescuing people.

If you want a free and enjoyable MMO with focus on shooting, then CCP Games delivers. Just do not expect Dust 514 to be a walk in the park, this is a complex MMO that isn't holding your hand. If you can live with this and the few bugs still in the game, it is worth a download for all shooter fanatics.

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.

It is worth taking a trip to Salem. You might not be blown away by the mechanics or length of the game, but you will get a good story with interesting characters and some fun ideas. Recommended if you want a good thriller with tons of atmosphere in game form.

Classic on-rails shooter that sticks to its roots and does it well. The fact that Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates are included on the disc certainly doesn't hurt. Razing Storm has a Story Mode in which the game tries its hand at being a full-fledged FPS (meaning you control where you go), but fails abysmally. That doesn't detract from the on-rails games, and if you're looking for a classic arcade shooter, this is a very neat package.

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.

Offers a much more entertaining mix than many of the other sports titles we've seen on both DS and 3DS. It's not a game that will keep you captivated for months, but has plenty of fun for short bursts of high score chasing.

Adventuring in Silent Hill: Book of Memories is often not that exciting, but as a fan of dungeon crawlers, I often caught myself coming back for just one more go. Wait for the bargain bin offers.

Front Mission Evolved is a mad, mad game, but the madness bring more good experiences than bad. While the gameplay is entirely acceptable, it does get kinda monotonous, but the huge arsenal and customization options help make up for it.

At its best, Tron: Evolution reminds us of Prince of Persia, but the platform sections are regularly broken up by boring and uninspired combat. The story is uninteresting, and while the looks are almost carbon copied from the movie, they don't work nearly as well in an interactive experience. Tron: Evolution ends up feeling more like a prologue to the movie than anything else, and therefore never really satisfies.

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.

You have to figure out whether or not you find the Bleach universe interesting, because that interest needs to be there lest you grow tired of the simple combat system, the limited amount of backgrounds, the confusing story and the levels that quickly begins to repeat themselves.

A game that seems more than satisfied with being entirely average in all respects. Does make for decent co-op fun, though.

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.

There’s little reason to pick up the latest Mario Party. While it has plenty of personality, the majority of the experience is so thin that it struggles to keep your attention.

Datura deserves credit for its refreshing energy and courage to rethink how a game should look and play, but it's difficult to shake the feeling of an extended PlayStation Move demo.

Ferrying stuff between islands in a home built helicopter that uses real physics is a novel concept, but Landit Bandit sadly ends up feeling like a game that didn't get the development time or resources it really needed. The physics engine is very unforgiving, meaning that you'll crash your helicopter tons of times while attempting to land, and the missions are tedious and lack variation. The bar for indie releases is very high these days, and Landit Bandit just falls short.

Compared to its obvious rival Diablo, Sacred 3 lacks depth and genre-stables like a proper inventory and constant looting. This makes the experience more arcade-like, and ultimately less interesting. However, team up with three like-minded friends for a bunch of monster-smashing, and Sacred 3 has plenty to offer.

It’s no match for the likes of Gears of War or Call of Duty, but if you can ignore the technical issues, Special Forces: Team X still has a lot going for it.

I’ll make this quick – this package simply doesn’t have enough content. The three new levels on offer here fail to reach the level of the impressive DLC packs that were released for Gears of War 3.

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.

A decent online shooter that mainly reuses ideas you've already seen elsewhere. The controls are spot on, and the enviromental destruction is impressive. However, it suffers greatly from lag problems, and host migration isn't handled very gracefully. It's very cheap, though, and gets enough things right that it's worth checking out. But you can skip it if you already have a stack of Battlefields and Calls of Duty on your shelf.

Seeing as it’s been close to a year since the original console release, one would have hoped that the Vita version had more polish. Sadly, this port only brings more issues to an already imperfect game.

For those of us who have already played a lot of these kinds of mini games, it feels like reheated roast. We already know it'll be great tasting, but we're being asked to eat a different utensil to make it more fun.

We frankly expected more from one of the most original developers around, but alas, Diabolical Pitch ends up as an indifferent waste of time.

The first few hours are hysterical, but then frustration begins to set in, and in the end, Surgeon Simulator doesn’t manage to become more than a prolonged party trick.

Bland visuals mixed with a boring story. A shallow and repetitive puzzle game that we really can't recommend for anybody.

The classic cult movie is turned into an incredibly bad dual stick shooter with barren enviroments, boring action and horrible sound. Even though it sticks to the story, it is bad enough to hurt your opinion of the movie it's based on.

Quotation forthcoming.

MUD never attempts something original, spectacular or surprising, and you get the impression that it's settles for just being bog-standard.

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.

Snoop Dogg returns as Snoop Lion in a rhythm game that borrows heavily from the Nintendo classic Elite Beat Agents. Campy story, well known Snoop-hits, cool animations and a decent rhythm game makes for a few fun hours. After that you will probably not return to the game.

To anyone expecting a poor dance game: yes there is dancing, it resembles Dance Central and the reason for it being in the game is explained by C-3PO as a corrupted file in the Jedi Archives. If that makes you cringe and abandon the game, then you will miss out on a great Pod Racer, a fun dancing game, a well made jedi campaign and other mini games using the Star Wars license respectfully. Recommended for all ages.

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 funny sort of cat-and-mouse first person shooter with an original premise and style. An absolute bargain at the price, and a game that gives more expensive XBLA titles a run for their money. There's plenty of fun to be had, and Bloody Good Time certainly live up to its name.

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.

Comes closer to perfecting the style of the Dragon Ball Z universe than any previous game, but the combat system is too simplistic to offer any real depth, and so we can only recommend Ultimate Tenkaichi to the most hardcore fans of the franchise.

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

A game that really tries to be like the LEGO games but with Marvel characters, but doesn't succeed entirely. Playing on your own is rather boring, but the co-op mode improves the experience immensely, even if the game is a bit short. Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Guantlet is a far cry from games like LEGO Indiana Jones or LEGO Harry Potter, but there's still fun to be had here. Worth picking up on a bargain.

Knack has some fundamental problems, but it can be entertaining. Moments of inspiration and strong design are held back by the game’s many annoyances, though. Proof that charm isn’t always enough.

A playable spy B-movie for the handheld that doesn't quite live up to the standard Gameloft usually presents. Check out 9mm instead.

You can live a long and happy life in Skyrim without ever getting familiar with Hearthfire.

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.

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.

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.

It's a shame that a title that actually tries out some new ideas for Kinect doesn't manage to leave a better impression. For once though, the blame shouldn't be put on the motion sensor, but rather a lack of attention to graphics, sound and story.

Not really worth the price in its current form, unless you're a die-hard fan of the Creative game mode of Minecraft. And yet it still manages to be a recommendable series, as there's something zen-like about just building to your hearts content.

If it weren’t for the many glitches and regular stuttering, Painkiller H&D could have been a decent if somewhat repetitive retro shooter. But the technical issues make it difficult to recommend even as a niche title.

Great looking clone of every modern third-person action shooter you can think of. Unfortunately it is let down by boring sections and bland weapons. Buy it on sale or rent it but don't expect miracles.

Sony lumps a bunch of their popular characters together in this collection of mini-games that doesn't do any of its stars justice. The mini-games offer little challenge and have seemingly been picked at random, and makes no attempt at utilizing the vast background of the characters. Fine for kids, but just barely acceptable for the rest of us.

Dungeon Fighter Live is one of those games that you will have to fight in order to find the core of entertainment it contains. If you and your friends are willing to put in the effort, though, there's plenty of ARPG action to be had here.

Bound by Flame is a different and strangely addicting action roleplaying game. It is marred by a few bugs in the quest system though. While you wait for The Witcher 3 you could do much worse than this though. Recommended if you lust for a new RPG adventure with crafting, fun combat mechanics, interesting characters, less traditional dialogue and a great style.

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

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.

Krater plays decently, and all the right ingredients are here. But it feels like the chef messed up in the kitchen, and combined them into a dish that may be worth eating, but is hard to recommend.

A lot like LEGO Star Wars without either of the licenses. It's still good fun, and very, very forgiving, meaning that its well-suited for a younger crowd. It's a bit short, but as you continually unlock new abilities, you can go back and explore previosly unreachable parts of levels you've already completed. And the seamless drop-in experience doubles the fun.

Having to manage your riders stamina and resources is an interesting twist on the racing genre, but you need much more than just a fleeting interest in cycling to enjoy this game.

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.

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.

Even though Neverdead has its moments of frantic action and fun ideas, badly implemented mechanics means the game will often test your patience.

Dead Block is decent if somewhat cheap entertainment, but it's hard to recommend given the dozens of other and better zombie games that are out there.

A decent take on handheld hack'n'slash entertainment, but we can't help but feel that Gameloft were in too much of a rush with this one.

There's no doubt hat the intentions behind Dragon Ball Z for Kinect were good, but once again it feels as if the Kinect camera's lack of precision has been an obstacle for the developers.

If it weren't for technical issues, such as the troubled controls and occassional coughs from the graphical engine, Garshasp could have been a decent copy of games like God of War, which we rarely see on the PC. But the game is filled with beginners mistake, and feels like a developer's first attempt at making a game, which is exactly what it is.

Duke Nukem Forever is far from perfect and certainly has its flaws. But it also has its moments, quite a few of them actually, and reminds us of happier times where shooters weren't as pompous and self-important.

Sad, boring and at times buggy beyond belief. The Aliens seem weak, the tension absent and even though the set pieces are great, the whole game feels bland. The last half of the game improves a bit, but by then you have already lost all faith. Mediocre at best. In space no one can hear you cry.

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.

Brain-dead licensed shovelware.

If you've gathered up a bunch of friends and you're all staring mindlessly at a Kinect-equipped flatscreen, you'll easily be able to squeeze out a few hours of fun and laughs with Hole in the Wall. But not much more than that.

Sonic Free Riders can be fun under the right circumstances, and kids will probably enjoy it, but it's mostly just another irrelevant speed bump on Sonic's journeys throughout the world.

Despite its accessibility and enjoyable multiplayer, Tank! Tank! Tank! is the kind of game that's best suited for the arcades, where you only expect a game to entertain you for a few minutes.

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.

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

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.

It feels as though all creativity and imagination has been shunned during development, and the result is a load of lethargic combat with too many flaws and complete lack of the details and polish that define the best games of the genre.

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.

This God of War-inspired adventure falls apart as soon as the camera begins swerving about in confusion.

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

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.

Flawed in so many ways, this feels like a rushed product, and even though the voice acting is by most of the actors from the show, it feels as uninspired as the rest of the game.

Zombie-filled races is a nice if not exactly original idea, but the developers haven't managed to turn it into an interesting game. The gameplay quickly becomes tedious, the car physics feel too light, the difficulty lacks challenge and frequent slowdowns mar the experience. If you're hurting for a Carmageddon sequel, this might sate you for a while, but it's no replacement.

Battle: Los Angeles is a typical movie licensed game. Built and released in a hurry to coincide with the release of the movie, while throwing all notions of good craftsmanship out the window. It's not entirely bad, though, and had this been an iPhone game at the usual price range, it would have been a steal. But with so many strong shooters on offer these days, there's no real reason to play this game.

Despite a decent combat system and some surprisingly good animations, the many issues hold the game back from anything more than an average score.

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 you can live with the technical flaws, the boring AI and the lack of ambition, there's enough sci-fi shooting with a hint of strategy here to keep genre fans entertained for a few hours.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
