Doesn’t make it past the first round of the playoffs. If you want a real champion head over to Sega or EA.

Backbreaker is trying to break into a genre that is dominated by a 2,000 pound gorilla and for that alone I applaud them. However they need to do some serious enhancements, maybe even illegal ones, in order to be taken seriously.

Anyone who has played this type of game before will be instantly bored, and even newcomers will quickly look elsewhere to fill their gaming guts. I'd tell you to go outside and play, but seriously, it's just too hot.

God Mode is great mindless entertainment, until you start paying attention and are left wanting more...

A great game at its core that lost a little in translation from the home console version of the game.

While this game may have some good points, namely character customization on part with the pen and paper game and solid turn based gameplay, it staggers for life almost everywhere else.

At its core, Front mission Evolved is a run-of-the-mill action shooter that wastes the opportunities its got in giant robot combat. The game only occasionally frustrates, but never really wows the player, either.

There is nothing technically wrong with the game; it is just bland, generic and quite simply uninteresting.

The Game may resemble the TV show but with its variety of bland mini games it's not near as much fun as watching the real thing.

Hard core flight sim veterans will find its simplified flight model and weak campaign to be disappointing.

Puzzles in the absence of a plot can be a relaxing distraction to some, and a painful chore for others. Consider me one of the others. I found myself extremely bored playing this game.

Too simple and shallow for baseball fans, too many gameplay issues for arcade sports fans - Inside Pitch 2003 is destined to be a benchwarmer.

Defenders of Ardania is a good try at combining a couple of genres but it's a bit slow and confusing.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix is an applaudable improvement over its original and an awesome arcade racer. While the complete lack of licensed music and voice acting endows an empty feeling, charming visuals and tons of callbacks should whet your animation-loving appetite. All-in-all, it’s an unadulterated trip down both memory and (literally) slime-filled lanes and a joyful celebration of Nicktoons.

Fortix is recommendable to anyone who enjoys a good arcade-style challenge, even if you've never heard of Qix.

While it is leaps and bounds better than I thought it would be, Jackass: The Game is only a solid rental.

A multitude of flaws takes the enjoyment out of fighting off multitudes of enemies.

Owning pet aliens is not as exciting or interesting as it sounds.

My dual sympathies go out to gamers who find themselves playing this short and dull game.

It is formulaic, simple and not too lengthy, but it does the job for its target audience and there are hundreds of kid's games out there that are much, much worse.

Eliminate the tedium, ratchet up the tension, and get rid of the annoying quirks and bugs and you may have yourself a good little strategy game here.

Fishing Master is more akin to Pokemon than it is to a simulation of fishing, and will probably appeal the most to the "gotta catch them all" crowd.

Splinter Cell Essentials would more be appropriately entitled “Splinter Cell Frustrations”.

Just not that interesting of a game.

The game has tons of items to unlock and an overall good amount of stuff to do, but all of this really falls flat when the gameplay gets so repetitive. No matter what mode you play, there isn’t much gameplay variety outside of the standard gameplay mechanics. You don’t have the options that you get in the usual WWE 2K yearly release and it all wears thin fast and becomes a chore to play. The game is honestly fun at first, but it just doesn’t hold up well in the long run. I honestly prefer WWE 2K20 over Battlegrounds and that’s saying a lot with all the problems that game had.

Diplomacy is best left to fans of the board game looking for a little nostalgic fun. Those who enjoy juggling multiple competing proposals while under the clock are also encouraged to apply.

A decade old racer that feels like it's a decade old.

The ENTIRE single player experience can be viewed as such: Enter room, clear room of enemies, enter next room, clear enemies, enter... You get the picture. Boss battles do help to break up the monotony, but like I said before, they are crazy easy, oft repeated and often just plain stupid.

A poor single-player campaign and quirky interface issues make the game frustrating to all but the hardcore death match crowd.

This game is more torture than anything Dr. No or Goldfinger ever dreamed up.

Romancing SaGa has areas that may prove to be interesting in the future, but the lack of a story and uninteresting characters prove too much to overcome.

It just seems to consistently fall short in the action, puzzle, and suspense categories.

The gameplay and adult content both fail to deliver, leaving the game thoroughly Mirra'd in mediocrity.

Datura demonstrates that the surreal can be just as frustrating as the real world.

Rather than feel like you're in constant danger in the lair of the enemy, you'll feel more like you're whiling away the hours on a Saturday afternoon playing with the odds and ends lying around on your garage tool bench.

Fans of the show may enjoy interacting with some of its characters and the game is interesting enough to pique a newcomer's interest in checking out the show, but from a gameplay standpoint alone OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes doesn't offer enough variety to keep brawler game fans engaged.

Frontline: Fields of Thunder turns all out tank warfare into a tedious puzzle.

The card battling system never gives the player the feeling of being in control. Instead, most battles feel completely random and no amount of card handling skill can deal with a terrible hand when fighting some of the more powerful opponents.

About what you'd expect from a budget shooter, maybe less.

There's so little to the game that it's hard to imagine it holding anyone's interest for long.

Do yourself a favor and check out my review for Naruto – Clash of the Ninja Revolution here on this site. I promise; it is at least 1,000,000 times better than this disgrace of a video game.

Rampage Total Destruction is far from being totally fun.

The Art of Supremacy is best left to the most ardent of Empire Earth II fans.

All of these touches are implemented adequately enough, but they just can't make up for the broken gameplay.

Boogie is the type of game that would make a good rental for an evening when you’re entertaining some guests who aren’t gamers.

The 2D grainy characters and low-color, static, and minimalist backgrounds may have been acceptable in an arcade 10 years ago or on a Sega Genesis, but do you really want to see graphics like these on your Xbox?

Unfortunately, the game just didn't gel into one piece of entertainment; instead, it felt like a bunch of unfinished pieces of other games, smooshed together and sent to stores without much oversight in the quality department.

I wish there was more to this expansion because as it is you'll push through the new content pretty quickly and then find that you're not really compelled to come back to Mercury much after that. Curse of Osiris simply doesn't give you that much new content for your money, but without it your characters will be capped at level 20 and 300. This means that you'll be locked out of heroic level content because your power level will be too low. If you play with friends and they have this expansion, then you'll be forced to get it as well if you want to join them in every activity such as the Leviathan raid's hard mode or the Trials of the Nine. If that's not the case with you, you can probably pass on this expansion for now and see what happens with the next expansion due in spring 2018.

Genesis Rising is pretty, innovative, and a complete mess.

Currently, the game is a labor of love - it takes a lot of patience, but can be rewarding and very enjoyable. If promised features are added soon, this could be a good game.

However, everything about Randal's Monday has been a disappointment and I can't really recommend the game to anyone. Maybe Randal should have just slept through Monday.

It would be nice if there were more to this game, or if a little more thought had been put into the clues and words.

Rocketmen is one of those games that could have been pretty interesting, but just doesn't live up to its potential.

The only true horror in Black Mirror are the intrusive load screens and a game-breaking bug.

While maybe not quite a “Nightmare”, Druaga may at least make your sleep an uncomfortable one. I would pass this one by for a host of much better alternatives.

Poor, unresponsive control and linear level design prevent this game from being enjoyable by anyone other than big fans of the animated series.

Making your way through this slapdash game is a trial.

The game’s annoyances would perhaps be tolerable if the gameplay itself was challenging and interesting. Unfortunately this is not the case. The AI takes a straightforward, brute force approach to its play and it always seems to overreact to your actions.

The Wii's control scheme and wider audience could lead to some fantastic games in the future, and I'm just fine with labeling Legendary Warriors a speed bump on a road to potentially great things. But, viewed as a single game, Legendary Warriors might keep a few kids busy for an afternoon, but most won't even get a rental's worth out of it.

Again, it's not a terrible game; it is, however, one of the biggest letdowns of 2011.

If you’re on a Shrek high after seeing the movie, by all means go ahead and rent this game. Before your rental is due back you’ll probably have had your fill with it.

There's some addicting gameplay to be found in Squad Command, particularly for Warhammer 40,000 fans, but you've got to be willing to put up with the game's flaws and annoyances.

It does a good job of keeping in the spirit of the film's storybook setting, and its quality graphics won't disappoint. However, platform players will find it too short and will be disappointed in the lack of puzzles and overall challenge in the game's levels.

In the vernacular of the time, D-Day is just plain FUBAR.

It doesn't cut it as a tactical sim or an action shooter, leaving you with a strictly mediocre title.

The Blue Blur and his friends come together for another racing game and the result plays out rather well and brings along new gravity moves available to each character but Zero Gravity is not without its problems.

Poorly implemented controls and a poorly designed and rather uninspired rebooted version of the original arcade classic make it safe to pass on this Q*bert "reboot" and wait for the next one to come along.

RemiLore is a cute hack-and-slash for kids and adults alike. Its procedurally generated dungeons and enemies serve as a good grind. And with 213 weapons and several costumes to unlock, the game made me embrace my inner collector spirit. While its weak story and overall shallowness cannot be overlooked, those looking to mess around with the gameplay modifiers, couch co-op mode, and vast array of weapons will be satisfied.

Spawn is indeed from hell and will make you suffer through a purgatory of repetitive gameplay.

In Besieger, a different approach to RTS strategy is defeated by poor execution and dismal AI.

More frustrating than it is fun.

The biggest problem with Gyruss is that there's just not a lot too it. Once you've played it for a little bit you've seen it all, and the only motivation to keep playing is to squeeze a few more thousand points out of it to add to your high score.

Strip away the game's echolocation feature and you're left with a rather lackluster ghost story adventure game. The path through the game is extremely linear, there's little in the way of interaction, and what puzzles there are in the game are simple and far and few between, For the dark to be scary, you have to believe that there is something lurking in it somewhere, but in Perception the darkness felt about as scary as my bedroom does at night.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is a racer that comes up just short of being respectable.

The game doesn't feel rewarding enough, and that's a shame since interest in the Beijing Olympics was very high.

Michael Jackson: The Experience is fun but just knowing how much more could have been done ultimately is disappointing.

Borrows from the Hollywood movies "The Running Man" and "Bloodsport" and then blends them with the characteristics of a traditional first person shooter. The result is a bit like most Hollywood movies, fair to good at best.

Inversion isn't terrible - its main obstacle is how many other games on the market handle this stuff much, much better.

Carnivores just plain falls short in its execution and its repetitive nature makes it difficult to hold the player's interest for long.

There really isn’t anything that separates it from other Spyro games. Actually in a lot of ways the PS1 games are much more enjoyable and original.

EA Replay is strictly for the nostalgic.

This game just does not provide anything new or provide much of a challenge. Perhaps it might be appropriate for someone new to gaming, but most gamers will grow quickly bored by it.

While the multiplayer modes offer something worth playing, Contract JACK ultimate disappoints with below-average gameplay unworthy of the series.

After playing the multiplayer game enough to review it, I can’t say that I feel all that compelled to jump back into it. That’s a first for me, and I’ve been playing the game since before it even had a multiplayer mode. Modern Warfare III is the most disappointing entry in the series for me in a while – I haven’t been this disappointed probably since Ghosts. The franchise would have better served its fans by taking this year off and putting the time into creating a better-balanced, more complete entry in the franchise. You can certainly skip this entry in the series, or at least wait until it is heavily discounted, because it’s just not worth it.

If you are a new Wii U owner, make sure you play New Super Mario Bros. U, Skylanders: Giants or any of the other big name games hitting this holiday season. But once those have come and gone, keep your eyes open and trained on the bargain bin. If you see Transformers Prime: The Video Game in there, it's one afternoon of fun might just be worth it as you wait for the next big release.

Quickly hack and slash your way to boredom.

There’s no customization in the game and the business model is extremely light. What the game really comes down to is keeping pretty girls happy so that you can keep watching them in their bikinis, and Hot Dog King manages to make this a pretty boring exercise.

Redfall has the potential to be a good game, but it has a bunch of issues that need fixing first.

Shrek the Third is best left to diehard Shrek fans or 360 gamers looking to pad their Gamer Scores.

A great idea wrapped up in a very mediocre game.

If you found the first game to be very challenging, this expansion has the potential to frustrate you to no end. It also lacks the elements that made the first game suspenseful and packed with atmosphere.

To be honest, I really, REALLY wanted to like Monster Madness. But annoying voice over, lazy cutscenes with static pictures, bad hit detection and worse attacking issues, I just can't recommend this one.

Some of the updates to Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles may please fans of the original, but those updates can’t change the fact that this is a very dated game.

At best, Haze is a solid, but flawed game that most people would enjoy to the fullest during a rental, rather than an all out sixty-dollar purchase.

And make no mistake – this is an impressive game from a lot of standpoints. It may have suffered a bit from the lack of hype leading up to its release and some not bad, but not exactly great gunplay, but C.O.P. is one of those games that people will still find themselves gushing about years from now.

Ultimate Tenkaichi may be the best looking DBZ game to hit our shores, it doesn't have the gameplay to back it up.

It is not a strategy game, but a poorly designed puzzle game. The puzzles are poorly explained and the solutions obscure and not really logical. The only challenge in the game is avoiding frustration-induced madness. This is just not my idea of fun.

Tries to deliver a varied and immersive gaming experience, but just doesn't deliver.
