A simple, yet enjoyable and somewhat addicting game best enjoyed in small doses.

Obviously, Naruto fans will love this, but so will side-scroller die-hards and those who love the old 2D, left-to-right with giant, colorful characters business.

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

Nitrobike is very much a middle-of-the-road game. It does a few things right, a few things wrong and, most of all, it does nothing new.

You're better off resisting the urge to collect more toys.

Eragon for the Xbox is a good example of why reading can be better than gaming. Buy the book instead.

Instead of treading in familiar action territory, Castlevania Judgement introduces us to a fighting genre with Castlevania characters but the overall Castlevania feel and quality that the series usually displays suffers quite a bit with this change.

How could such a complex war inspire such a shallow game?

It's the poor man's "Diablo."

It be a poor portrayal of the pirate's life, says I.

Probably the biggest joke in Duke Nukem Forever is that the game was released as a top-tier title at a $60 price point. The game that was supposed to reboot the franchise has without a doubt rebooted it to a BSOD, and it will certainly take some time for the Duke legacy to recover from this fiasco.

The only thing astonishing about this game is how bland and generic it manages to be.

It’s a shame that the city shows no real personality, I would have hoped that a city in the year 2090 would have looked futuristic or something. This one could be any of the current major cities with nondescript skylines and very plain colors.

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.

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.

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

Stay away from Infinite World at all costs.

Eragon continues the age old tradition of mediocrity in movie-licensed games.

Frighteningly boring.

Doesn’t have anywhere near the magic as the movie. Do yourself a favor and rent the movie instead of playing this inadequate title.

Sonic Adventure is still a great game like it was back in the late 90's when it was on Dreamcast, but nothing has changed at all with this Xbox LIVE port - all the flaws still remain.

Stay away from this game and go see the movie instead. Even if it is the worst film of the summer, it would still be Citizen Kane compared to its video game counterpart.

I can see where some players might like Dead Man’s Diary for what it is, but it is not a game I found much enjoyment in. I spent about a good 6 hours on it my first time, but eventually got tired of the usual formula and overall feeling that I was going to get stuck. Like I mention, the stage select really saves the game from getting too ridiculous, but it’s still annoying to have to go back and do so much if you get stuck, even with stage select help. If you’re a fan of survival games, you might want to give this a try, but just keep in mind the negatives that I mention since they will most likely ruin the experience. Dead Man’s Diary is a game that I’d like to enjoy, but just can’t.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

Use your $10 on a bargain game that you'll want to play after the first day you buy it, or put it in your piggy bank and save up for a real shooter.

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

Just be patient and wait for Twisted Metal.

You'll have to use the power of imagination to make it seem that this game is fun to play.

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.

There’s no disguising the fact that this is a tedious and frustrating game.

An epic fail on the quest for fun.

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

If you really want to learn more about the battles of Rome and to try your hand at recreating them, you're far, far better off simply renting a History Channel Special and picking up a copy of Rome: Total War.

It's too bad that so much of the game is tedious, because the game’s battles are actually a bit interesting. The battles are turn-based, with the order of attack displayed on a timeline on the left side of the screen. In most turn-based games, the timeline is mostly informational, but in Varlet the actions that your characters take have a direct effect on the timeline. When selecting an action, you will see how many turns it will take to complete. Once you select an action, it will appear on the timeline that many turns ahead. In addition, if the action has a target, whether it’s an ally or an enemy, the target will be shown on the timeline as well. And it’s not just you doing this – your enemies are selecting actions and targets as well and those will appear on the timeline, too. You’ll need to be smart about your choices and how they will affect the timeline, carefully picking your attacks and targets, and timing them with guard and interrupt actions. This one bright spot is not enough to make the game recommendable, though. There’s just too much tedium and blandness in between, and there are plenty of better options available for you to play in this genre.

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.

Control issues aside, the gameplay itself is not all that much fun. If perhaps things were faster and more chaotic, as they are in Warlords, it would fare better, but as it is it's more tedious than fun.

The quarter crunching classic that has basically remained the same throughout the years finally changes just a Wii bit, but still not enough to draw in any new fans.

If you have kids around that you can pass the game on to, take a chance on it. Otherwise, PK will leave most gamers feeling like not-so-super heroes.

The idea is great, the execution poor. We can only hope that this is not the only treatment of the subject we'll see in computer gaming.

If you are looking to waste time you might try playing Crime Stories, or you could try something else, like watching the grass grow. Whatever your choice, just remember you are still wasting your time.

This is a game that's best targeted to those who can't get enough of Ugly Americans and have three other friends who feel the same way. Otherwise there are plenty of twin-stick shooters available on XBLA that are a lot better games than this.

Brilliant sniping mechanic; too bad you're spending most of your time fending off the poor game design in the sea of nauseating textures.

Avoid this game like the plague.

Even with all the game bugs in WWE 2K20, there is still a decent wrestling game underneath.

If you buy it, you'll be bored with it in less time than it took you to read this review.

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.

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?

C.O.R.E. is simply not worth your time or money. There are far better shooters out there, even on the DS.

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 game's technical issues and inventory system bring it down heavily. Without the flaws, it's a decent survival horror game, but nothing that stands out that well. If you're a hardcore survival horror player, Submersed might be a game to consider (a guilty pleasure), but for those that want a quality survival horror, look elsewhere.

Toss this one into the storm cellar and lock the door

Why bother wasting your money on this incomplete, ill-conceived, and poorly designed mess when the developers couldn’t be bothered to release a playable game?

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.

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

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

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

Charging unsuspecting people money for this game - now that's naughty.

I know there is a contingent of Trekkies out there that will buy anything with Star Trek emblazoned on it, and that's fine; buy it, put it on your display shelf and never, ever play it. That's what I did with DragonBall Z for Kinect!

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra The Video Game is just plain awful. Whatever you do, though, don't let me stop you from seeing the movie. You'll love it.

The graphics are about on par with everything else in the game. The resolution is locked at 800x600, and even if you ignore the blockiness of the graphics the small levels are bland and uninteresting and the cutscenes smack of stock-footage amateurism.

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.

Two bad games do not equal one good game.

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.

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

25 to Life just doesn't have anything going for it that warrants a look at the game unless you're gangsta obsessed or bored out of your mind after playing every other available Xbox game out there. Save yourself the frustration and spend your gaming dollars elsewhere.

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.

The only thing legendary about this game is the mess it makes of the Bond franchise.

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.

Emergency Mayhem throws some wacky tasks our way as we race to reduce mayhem but really reducing panic has never felt so repetitive.

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.

A monotonous and unimaginative fighter that can only possibly appeal to the most die-hard of Dragon Ball Z fans.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is long on frustration and short on fun. Not even the film's most diehard fans should torture themselves with this one.

Ultimately awful. If this is Ultimate Beach Soccer, then I don't even want to see Mediocre Beach Soccer or Awful Beach Soccer.

Doctor Who fans will get a lot out of the story and excellent voice acting and motion capture, but only gamers with a high tolerance for frustration will find the fun buried in this one.

Chicken Hunter's collection of quick mini games is easily forgettable for the most part... not even the lovable chickens will have you coming back often.

With all the indies in the Switch eShop, The Deer God is one that fails to impress on the level as others. As great as the premise is, the gameplay is repetitive and boring, with really no incentive to play for more than a few minutes. The art style is as tired as the random encounter or escort mission, and the game just fails to come together in any meaningful way. Other indies far outshine this one, and your money is probably best spent elsewhere.

Bob Saget himself is a great guy, but his game is inexcusably awful.

There's no reason to recommend this game to anyone. It's short, but feels longer than it is because it's so frustrating and poorly designed. The graphics are poor, the 3D effects rudimentary, and the controls are terrible. Other than that it's fine.

Umbrella Corps can be fun with friends in multiplayer mode, but it is definitely a game that is not for everyone.

The nonexistent tutorial, clunky interface, rough and bland graphics, and quirky AI are all hallmarks of a game released too early... more an exercise in frustration and bewilderment than a game.

Avoid Vampire Rain like a vampire would avoid sharing a garlic burger with a priest on Miami Beach at noon.

Seven Kingdoms: Conquest is indistinguishable from any other bad strategy game you've played over the past ten years.

Legend of the Dragon is a quick thrown together cash-in on the TV series. The combat is easily forgettable as is everything else really. Stay clear of it as much as possible, even a rental is not worth it.

The game does a just fine job of porting the original, but unless you already love the game you’re not going to be enamored with its rudimentary play and graphics.

The biggest bomb in B-17: Fortress in the Sky is the game itself.

Randall is more frustrating than it is anything else, and doesn't offer anything that makes up for subjecting you to that frustration. There are too many better games out there to waste your time and money on Randall.

It looks and sounds good enough, but an annoying and punishing difficulty level - right off the bat - kills any genuine fun most people could have would a game like this.

You're better off just buying an ATHF DVD if you want to watch episodes at home. At least they don't come with a game.

We've got some new rules for Fight Club. Rule Number One: Do not play Fight Club. Rule Number Two: Tell all of your friends about Fight Club.

Lucha Fury could be a decent brawler, but the fun in its gameplay is brought down greatly by its bad controls.

Past Cure is a mix of good and bad, but all of it is very cinematic and filled with atmosphere at least.

Air Conflict isn't worth the money even if you're paid to play it.
