Sega tries to go back to the original formula with cleaner and simpler gameplay. That's the right way to go, but there's still too much that just feels off in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz.

Roatastic is fun at times, but is way to shallow and lacks enough content to justify the steep price tag.

This is nothing more than a cheap collection of translated cell phone games from Japan (hence the nam re:coded). Feels cheap, is cheap. Don't even bother with this mess.

Rebellion's struggle to get back to the studio's old ways of brilliance continues with another lackluster action game. Sure, the Predator-part of the campaign is exciting and the multiplayer is ok. But the rest is sub par action with boring graphics.

There's a pretty decent amount of good games in this collection, but a lot of really bad ones at that. Final Fight and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 in all their glory, but where the hell is Mega Man 9?

Arrival is Bioware's farewell to Mass Effect 2, and what a farewell this is. It's a really exiting mission that explains things leading to Mass Effect 3 and after you've finished it, you're left wanting nothing but more of this. Now, if only it was a little longer.

Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise isn't by any means a bad game, but it just isn't fun to play.

Not the best "endless runner"-game, but still fun, and cute.

Too shallow, too easy, too short. Yep, it's another movie tie-in that fails to engage.

Wii Party U still fails to live up to the Mario Party series, and this game feels more like a demonstration of what you can do with a Wii U rather than an actual game.

The design is horrible and the sound is even worse. Add a mediocre gameplay and we can't grade Black Knight Sword any higher than a simple 4.

With basically no surprises at all and a mediocre feeling over everything in the game, a mediocre grade is unfortunately the best we can award it with.

Germ fighting with Luigi offers good fun, but Dr Luigi is way over prized and you can easily get more and better similar puzzle games for less than a dollar/euro. This is just not worth the cost for Wii U, it doesn't have enough content.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fans of manga and especially Naruto should check this out. It has great fast paced action and flawless design that makes this a much better choice than the aged Dynasty Warriors series.

Good atmosphere as expected, but old levels and only a few hours of gameplay brings this down a bit.

Namco tries to get a few extra dollars from you hard earned money with a cheap collection including an old game, a demo and a movie. This should've been a downloadable thing for PSN and there is nothing here that's worth a full retail price.

Nice battles and nice pacing, but the production values could have been higher.

Bloodstone feels rushed in every way, and the multiplayer has a cheap and forced overall feeling. Even though this isn't a movie tie-in, it still feels like it. In a bad way.

Fun in short bursts, but there simply isn't enough content in this unbalanced action game.

When I played Go Vacation I heard the ticking clock of my life, eating up the hours as I struggled with the pointless mini-games. You can avoid this. For me it's too late.

If Wii is your only console, if you haven't already played Red Steel 2 and/or Metroid Prime Trilogy, then The Conduit just might be something for you. For everyone else, this is highly passable.

Half-hearted level design and a mediocre use of a great license.

Even though Honest Hearts is a nice and well priced expansion, it has way to much bugs and glitches. If you liked Fallout: New Vegas, it's worth checking out, but let's prey for some patches.

Rebellion's struggle to get back to the studio's old ways of brilliance continues with another lackluster action game. Sure, the Predator-part of the campaign is exciting and the multiplayer is ok. But the rest is sub par action with boring graphics.

Even though it's fun to level up and the graphics are drop dead gorgeous, The Dark Knight is hard to control and Gameloft has added all sorts of help to compensate this. Therefore, it lacks challenge and just feels bland in the end.

A bland, shallow, lifeless product.

Fun, good looking and twisted, Killer Is Dead is sure to please any fan of Grasshopper Manufacture. A couple of camera-related issues along with a story that just gets weaker as the campaign progresses keeps it from reaching the high score.
