    Reality Fighters forces players to follow what's going on with its augmented reality functions. So players will end up sitting in their living room looking at a game that takes place in their own home, if they see anything at all. And as a bonus, it throws in terrible humor.

    Even if you would get this game for free I advice you not to play it. The game lacks any depth and it has the crappiest voices ever.

    SimCity Societies with its expansion Destinations doesn't offer you enough new stuff to keep you going. This title seems to be aimed at people who love the Sims series, because it uses elements from that game as well. Be warned, this game is very repetitive. The essence of the series seems to be lost.

    Seven Kingdoms: Conquest is a bad RTS game. There are only a few elements in the game that are worth while. Mainly the game just feels like an old and boring RTS. Thats why we can't crown this game to the list of best seven RTS games.

    A better name for Stop Stress would have been Start Stress. The game tries to frustrate you as much as possible. That’s admirable in some ways, but in the end it’s a waste of your money.

    Angry Birds Go isn't anything more than an attempt to make a quick buck. A shameless product that 'forgets' to be clear about how expensive it really is, and forces players to reach for their credit cards.

    On paper running a construction company and handling big vehicles sounds pretty fun, but in this game it is dreadful. There are a lot of technical issues, but even the things that do work are simply not fun. It's boring, uncontrollable, slow and badly written.

    The Quiet Man is so bad, we can't shut up about it. A great idea is totally killed by bad gameplay and full motion video we simply can't get our heads around.

    For games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, people invented early access. This game is just not finished, even the soundtrack cannot save it.

    Jurassic Park: The Game is a bad interactive B-movie that takes place in Jurassic Park, in which you'll mindlessly and without any tension ram buttons. A historically bad game.

    Hooray for the digital download! Normally these kinds of movie games would be only available in store shelves, full priced. If you've bought it accidentally now, you'll only have lost ten Euros. That's pretty much all the positive sentiment we have to share on Pacific Rim: The Video Game. It's so boring and slow, we couldn't even recommend it for free.

    There's nothing that redeems this interpretation of Star Trek. Aside from a wealth of issues, it's nothing more than a generic, rushed product that doesn't have a single good idea in it. Don't spend a penny on it: Star Trek just isn't worth it.

    Lococycle is boring, ugly and not funny in any way. This is the worst launch game the Xbox One has to offer.

    The only thing that Sea Monsters has going for it is the educational value about fossiles and the knowledge that the world was a very different place a long time ago. Other than that, the game leaves a lot of opportunities untouched to really give the player some lessons. The game is just a bad experience overall and the one lesson it will give to kids is that not everything on the Wii is fun.

    Sky Diving is a desperately-made product which shouldn't have been made at all. This game is a good argument against the movement controls of the Sixaxis. Too bad it's a downloadable product. Else we would have thrown it out of a plane... without a parachute.

    Flatout 3 doesn't come close to the glory of the former games in the series. This game manages to throw everything that makes Flatout great out of the window. Forget this title.

    Angry Birds 2 shows everything that is wrong with free-to-play. The game balance is weaker, the boosters make the app pay-to-play and the independence on luck makes it impossible to play this game strategically.

    We can't imagine that developers actually hate gamers, but after having played Gettysburg, we're starting to doubt that. It's ugly, not user-friendly and simply unfinished: these are just a few of the things that make this a horrible game.

    Damnation had potential, but manages to do everything wrong. The game looks and controls awful and never gets fun to play.

    Fray is one of the many games that's been released way too soon. The potential is definitely there, but rarely do we see games that are littered with bugs like this one. These bugs make Fray unplayable and it should never have been released in this state.

    Beat'n Groovy is a perfect example how not to make a rythm game. Not-functional gameplay elements, poor music and cheap looks. Keep those point in your pocket.

    Shellshock 2 gives the word uninspiring a new meaning. The game never, and i repeat never ever, offers the player any form of originality or even simple fun. Five frustrating hours, no more no less, make of Shellshock 2 entertainment of the lowest order. If you can call it entertainment.

    If you are in possession of a Wii, then you already own a better boxing game than Showtime Championship Boxing will ever be. It's called Wii Sports. Showtime is just not fun to play and extremely shallow. Save up for something more meaningful.

    The developers probably had the right intentions: they want to educate youngsters about the changing environment. It's just too bad they only focussed on that and failed to offer anything resembling a good game. The graphics are plain offensive and you never really feel like you're in control.

    It's not easy to make a good dance game, apparently. Everything is compared to the brilliant Dance Central and with good reason. Some dancing games have some good moves to offer, but We Dance is just too much of a bad thing. Avoid at all costs.

    The hellish micro transactions, unfriendly interface, the lack of any challenge whatsoever, let alone freedom and the horrendous techniques make Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile a sum of disappointments.

    Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is garbage. The game sounds terrible, looks terrible and plays terrible. Everyone who dares playing this mess, must either have a wall in front of his eyes or is being brainwashed by the propagandamachine. Even if you get the game for free in the local supermarket, you are not allowed to accept it. Too bad, because the storyline offers enough opportunity for a good game.

    Declassified drags the PlayStation Vita down to new-found depths. Absolutely nothing about this game is fun. The multiplayer is awful, the artificial intelligence is moronic and things that you'd expect to be there are blatantly missing. Fortunately the single player campaign takes less than an hour to finish, so you'll get through it really quickly.

    So called 'hardcore gamers' looked disapprovingly at Microsoft's Kinect. Capcom heard these defying cries and decided to invest a lot of time and money into Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, to prove once and for all that Kinect is completely useless for controlling deeper games.

    Revelations 2012 is a hilarious experience, because this idiotic and pretty much unplayable can't have been made with a serious intent. The game gets one whole point for the laughs it caused, and that's it.

    Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust is without a doubt one of the worst games in history. There isn't a single characteristic in the game that is worth spending your money on. With the buggy controls, it's the king of crap. Under any circumstances, do not buy this game.

    If you don't want to throw your brand new Kinect out of the window, take this advice: don't buy Fighters Uncaged. You have more luck controlling a lifeless rock. The game doesn't surprise anywhere, except that Microsoft allows games this bad to show up on Kinect this early.

    The fundamentals for a good game are here, but it doesn’t take long for it to become clear that The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a rushed cash grab, made to leech of the popularity of the show. It’s graphically dated, a story is practically nonexistent and not a single game mechanic works like it should. It’s outrageous, because the license deserves so much better.

    Balls of Fury is already one of the worst games of the year. The storyline is uninspired and the boring gameplay and outdated graphics make this table tennis game a real disaster of a game. Parents of all minor Wii-owners: don't be tempted to buy this game for a reasonable price. Whatever the price might be, it will be too much for this terrible game.

    Dungeon Keeper is a new mobile free to play game by EA, and one of the most aggressive games in the genre. It has elements of a game, but these are so well hidden beneath shiny buttons, childish images and tons of tough rock, that it’s better to avoid the dungeon altogether.

    Legends of Pegasus doesn't work. It's a collection of 3D objects on a nice background, which sometimes do something that resemble a strategy game. This 4X-game lacks explanation, a simple bug-test and a good game-UI-designer. People did it better twenty years ago.
