It may seem as though you are playing Bob's dream but from my perspective it felt like I was experiencing a real-life nightmare. Each level felt like a grind and every time they just got larger and more intricate. Not too many games also defeat my spirit but Human: Fall Flat did just that. When talking about it with my coworkers they asked if there was co-op. There is however I wasn't fortunate enough to share the delights of this game with someone else. I can see though where it might be easier to share the load of frustration but also team together to complete certain puzzles. I however wouldn't submit any of my friends to such torture.

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

Save the Carrot Pro quickly wears out its welcome, and you'll probably want to delete it off of your phone or iPad within five minutes of playing it for the first time. Even if games lasted longer than a few seconds, there's not enough here to hold your interest for much longer than that.

Big Bang Pro Wrestling is fun to look at and admire for its controls and many other factors, but it isn’t very fun to play.

Yaiba looks really cool from screenshots, but the combat system is very cheap and makes the game more frustrating than fun.

It’s a novel enough concept in a setting that has produced many enjoyable shooters, but it just doesn’t deliver much excitement. Even if you stick with the game through its relatively short campaign, there’s no real motivation to play through it a second time.

Take a pass on this lackluster studio tour.

Hotel Barcelona is oozing with style but the gameplay drags the game down way too much to be fun or memorable.

The cost of Genkibowl VII isn't worth the quantity of gameplay you get for your money, and the quality of the gameplay isn't good enough to justify committing to a Season Pass at this point. I had a lot of fun with Saints Row: The Third, I expected more out of Professor Genki.

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

If you're a fan of puzzles, you might find something to enjoy later in the game, but for fans of survival horror gameplay, the atmosphere is decent, but the overall gameplay is rather dull.

There's no magic in this Harry Potter game.

You’ll want to escape the Academy yourself after playing Ape Escape Academy for a little while.

The most interesting thing about this title is its title.

You've really got to be a diehard fish lover to enjoy this game otherwise it will bore you to tears.

So look, there isn't much meat on the bones in regards to story, enemy, or mission variety, but there is depth in a character grinding aspect.

For what it is, Greyhill Incident has a unique concept and graphics to go along with it. The trailer makes the game out to be way better than what you actually get. It might be worth a playthrough for the curious mainly for its alien invasion theme, but I can’t see many people coming back to this game or even thinking of it as memorable. Some people might like the light-hearted story, but for me, it ruins the game.

The game has a few jump scares here and there, but you hear the loud noise before you even see the actual scare. There were times where I didn’t know what the game was trying to show me – all I knew was that I got the jump scare noise and that I just “witnessed” a jump scare. The game does seem to have some secrets which could encourage a replay. For a budget title, the game is actually decent. Overall, it’s a 50/50 chance whether you’ll like this game or not. If the game was more expensive, it would be easier to lay down a lower score, but with its current price point and the fact that I stuck with it all the way through, it’s actually a decent title for the price.

Ground Zero is a game that I really want to enjoy, but it is too mechanically demanding for my tastes.

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

Backroom Beyond is overall extremely repetitive. The worst part about playing it is that there is such little reward for completing each room. Your only reward is to simply start the next area. The game has an interesting subject matter, but the overall gameplay just isn’t fun for too long. Even though the game changes up each level, you’re still doing the same thing in the long run (pushing a block over a button) and it doesn’t hold up well for long. This game needs more variety in its puzzle solving.

MXGP Pro is not bad. I really think a player that enjoys racing simulators might find something to enjoy with it. If I could get past its extreme learning curve for first time players, I bet I could have a lot of fun with it. It's hard to have fun with a game when you can't even beat the first track on any single player mode when all the other racers leave you in the dust (or dirt and mud) however.

Mad Tracks is pretty short on gameplay, which is probably a good thing since the gameplay that is there isn’t very exciting.

A lot of the balance in the game just feels off, too. Invaders come quickly and often, and there’s just no time to get your tower into a minimal defensible state. Even if you get lucky and have the cards to close off your tower, the game punishes you for this tactic by generating enemies from a moving warp portal within your tower. Your wizard is forced to collect items from the rooms that they are produced in, but you can’t give commands to your whole tower while you’re off the throne. It feels like these and other restrictions were added to compensate for issues with the gameplay, when what was needed instead was more time spent refining and balancing it. Perhaps one day a game can make these two genres work together, but Dwarven Skykeep isn’t that game.

It appears that the developers spent all of their time in creating the city and traffic, and the AI and gameplay took a back seat.

I suppose that if you have strong nostalgic feel for Speedball then the game may hold a certain appeal to you, but be forewarned that Speedball 2 - Tournament may tarnish some of your cherished memories of the game.

Prison Architect is a time-consuming game, and the time spent with it feels more like work than it does play.

There's some potential to an RPG/pinball mash-up, in fact, Zen Pinball has a table that shows that this is a viable mix, but unfortunately Rollers of the Realm is not the game to realize that potential.

Bizarre, frustrating, and overly difficult. Everything you look for in a game, right?

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.

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

It's online-only, its expensive and single-player enthusiasts won't find anything to enjoy in this title.

Here's what we're dealing with: Code Lyoko: Fall of X.A.N.A. is an obtuse, for-fans-only generic RPG with no defining characteristics.

So the story is pretty run-of-the-mill. The same can be said for just about all of this game.

With many other much better racers available World Racing 2 should stay in the garage.

Unless you really, really love monster trucks, the game's poor execution will prevent it from keeping your interest for too long.

Sonic Free Riders could have been a great game if the controls worked.

Sometimes it takes a true fan of the subject matter to appreciate a mediocre game. This is not one of those times.

Who would have thought that purging a demonic school of evil by taking control of Death’s son would be so bland, tedious, and frustrating?

A "Diablo II" golem – it looks like the original but lacks its heart and soul.

It looks great but that's about it.

There are certainly worse budget titles out there, but if you tire of a game after less than an hour of play how much of a bargain is it?

The primary problem with the game is that your additional form and your primary weapon, the Sword of Light, draw power from your spiritual energy. This energy is fast to drain and very slow to regenerate, giving you just a few swings of your sword before you are left without the ability to attack.

Shallow and repetitive gameplay pretty much destroys what would be a fun animal learning session.

Red Faction: Battlegrounds is only recommendable to those who already got it for free as a pre-order bonus, and it's not even that good of a deal for them.

The Empire Earth series may just end with this whimper of a game.

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

In the end, Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed is a fun idea with poor implementation and some of the un-funniest moments ever captured in a videogame.

When viewed as a whole package, Godfather II doesn't equal the sum of its parts, or at least the sum of the parts, as they SHOULD have been.

If you want a nice, normal text adventure on the DS, Hotel Dusk and Phoenix Wright are the way to go. Lux Pain is really only suitable for gamers who are flat-out tired of stuff that makes sense, plots that can be followed and games that can be honest-to-goodness enjoyed.

If you like tons of bad words, lame stories, and repetitive gameplay revolving around guns and cars then try 187. Otherwise just go for a nice Sunday dive away from this game.

Those two words, wasted opportunity, are Soldiers of Misfortune's M.O. Everything about the game felt like a rush job, a an oversight related to developers who maybe just didn't care enough.

As challenging as bumper bowling and as much fun as a 7-10 split.

Civil War Secret Missions is simply not recommendable. It can't be considered educational as it spreads more misinformation than it does factual information.

There's no real reason to recommend Hellboy: Science of Evil. Hellboy fans will be disappointed, action gamers will be frustrated, and no one we'll be happy that they bought this game.

Just be patient and wait for Twisted Metal.

I liked the basic idea behind the game, and I liked the artistic style and the way each planet of levels had its own look and feel. However, there is absolutely nothing fun about this game and I can't imagine anyone wanting to stick with it longer than the time it takes to download it in the first place.

Pacific Storm: Allies tries to incorporate so many features from war and strategy games that it collapses under the weight of it all, crushing all fun out of the game.

Perhaps 'Boringgirl' would have been a better title.

Two bad games do not equal one good game.

It's a bit odd and altogether not that interesting. Even though it's a budget title, you're better off waiting and saving your money for an RPG that you'll actually want to spend some time playing.

Subpar map design and control issues put the multiplayer game on shaky ground from the start, and these problems coupled with team-based objective play that just wasn't designed well and a completely dysfunctional partner system that forces you to buddy up with a randomly-assigned stranger make the multiplayer game a "one and done" experience for most gamers.

The game selection in each is pretty thin at five games, and to top it off none of them are particularly entertaining. Odds are that you’ll just play through them all a couple of times and be done with it. The lack of any kind of detailed feedback or progress tracking means there’s little motivation to keep playing beyond that.

This is one game from the past that's best left forgotten.

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 entire game consists of one mode - looking at a bored-looking robot and imitating its moves - and that mode isn't really any fun.

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.

Perhaps if the game actually were funny it could be recommended as a spoof of serious games, but that’s just not the case. You get a basic and bland RPG combined with a basic and bland RTS game, and that’s about it.

The PS2 version is the cheapest of the many versions of Mercenaries 2 but you really get what you pay for in this watered-down title.

A strategy game isn't much of a strategy game when it relies more on trial and error than planning.

C'mon Silicon Knights, give us Eternal Darkness 2 instead of this silliness!

In my younger years, a kid who lived up the street, let's call him "Bad Pete," had a bright idea involving some frozen Gobstopper candies and his paintball gun. The giant purple welts that followed were far, FAR more painful than playing this game, but not by much.

The Incredible Maze's name is only half right – it's a maze but it's hardly incredible.

This is really different, this is kind of strange, this isn't all that much fun - no matter how you spruce it up, connect the dots is still connect the dots.

This game is essentially a bargain bin Xbox game and it is insulting to see it with a regular Xbox 360 game price tag.

In Great Invasions, The Dark Ages refer to the hours upon hours you’ll spend trying to make sense of things.

The moral of this fairytale is to avoid playing this game.

If you want more Iron Man 2 this summer, you're better off just seeing the movie twice.

Long load times and limited magazines feel more like a cheap way to pad the game's length than to capture an historic feel, especially when these weapons are far more accurate at a far greater range in the game than their real-world counterparts ever were.

1942: Joint Strike wasn't only a disappointment because the game just isn't very interesting or fun, it also served to remind me that I've still got another couple of months until Capcom's remake of Bionic Commando hits the PS3 and 360 for download.

I wanted to like Street Power Soccer, but I just couldn’t. The jerky animation, unrealized art style, and generally wonky gameplay are not compatible with this sport’s fluid energy. I’m not mad about freestyle soccer whatsoever, so you may find more to like if you are into it. Just don’t expect the new FIFA Street.

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

This is not the Digimon game that you've been waiting for.

The enemy AI is just as poor as the pathfinding AI. The enemy will send troops at you singly and in pairs allowing you to make short work of them. Even after you've spent half the mission killing off the enemy's solo suicide attacks it doesn't catch on and continues to waste its troops one by one.

This game is almost as ugly and unpolished as it's console counterparts. It just happens to be the lesser of the five or six evils.

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.

What can I tell you except to stay away from Hazzard County at all costs.

There are just far too many better options out there when it comes to strategy games, so why bother with a poorly designed one that is in the end an exercise in frustration?

Dead Space Ignition is not worth the purchase unless you want to get the unlockable content for Dead Space 2, but if you want the unlocks then you may as well just pre-order Dead Space 2 and get Ignition for free. Play the game long enough to secure your unlockables and then go play something else.

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.

The quality of the graphics look as if they are dated by at least a few years. If we were able to see crisp characters, it might add something to the game.

Shop Titans starts off as a simple but enjoyable enough economic sim, but before long you'll learn that it's really a game of waiting for timers to expire. It's one thing to pop into a mobile game on your phone a few times a day when you have a minute or two, it's quite another to have to sit down at a computer and launch a game several times a day just to progress in bite-sized chunks. Unless you're willing to part with a steady stream of cash to continuously turn it back into a simple economic sim.

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

PONG's fame comes from its historic significance and not its gameplay, and it takes a lot more than PONG Quest offers to make that gameplay fun.

The "z" in Dogz is for the snores this game produces in its players.

It's about time PC gamers got a good space trading game to play, but it looks like they'll need to keep waiting.

While this might seem to be a mall rat's dream, Mall Tycoon falls short of the mark as either a business simulation or a shopping center builder.
