The game uses left and right arrows for movement that sit in the lower left corner of the screen and another arrow for jumping in the lower right. For a game built on high-speed runs and well-timed jumps it's a deal-breaker.

The general lack of interesting and fun gameplay makes this a hard sell.

Mirror's Edge can't quite bring all of its strengths together to produce an enjoyable game. It tries to take a big leap forward, but instead stumbles and falls.

Sewer Escape has a nice presentation, with bright, colorful cartoon like graphics and a fun sense of humor, and the game does what it does well enough. The problem is that it doesn't do that much.

More work on the game's controls and play balance, and maybe perhaps even shortening the length a bit, would have gone a long way towards making Pid a more enjoyable experience.

Dugout Heroes can't compete with full-fledged baseball games, but it's worth taking the time to download and give it a try if you're looking for some casual, arcade-style baseball fun.

When you get down to it, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session is a two-button rhythm game with an obscure soundtrack. It certainly has a lot of personality, but there's just not enough to the game to hold your interest once the novelty wears off. Perhaps it would be different if you had the opportunity to play it with a drum controller, but we're not being given the opportunity to find that out for ourselves.

Just right for little girls, but not for anyone else.

A lot of the fun got nuked out of Dark Alliance when it was moved to Fallout's post-apocalyptic future.

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

There's some fun to be had in Flock … at least for the patient.

Overall, it's hard to say if LEGO Indiana Jones 2 is particularly recommendable. I doubt that anyone is dying for the chance to play through Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but it is cool to get locations from the original trilogy even if they are on the short side.

I'm sure that some people will be disappointed to find that this Rock Band release features a relatively small track list, is missing some of the features found in other Rock Band games, and doesn't support the full catalog of downloadable tracks available for Rock Band.

If you're a fan of SNK games, it will probably be easy for you to look past the game's quirks and shortcomings. You get a lot of games for your money here.

It is a bit more accessible to casual gamers who may want to give the game a look if they find that the realism of other games makes playing them too difficult or involved.

It takes a very methodical and patient strategy gamer to appreciate Laser Squad Nemesis.

Even if you can play through the pain, tapping a screen just isn't as much fun as rocking out with a fake plastic guitar.

The game starts off as a novelty, but the pinball gameplay soon dissolves into a mass of explosions and zombies.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 has the makings of a great tennis game because the tennis simulation at its core is a good one. Everything else about it is rather bland, though, and the career mode that should be its showcase is poorly put together. I think that the potential for a great Grand Slam Tennis 3 is here, but 2 lands just outside the baseline.

If Brave showed some bravery in its level design, it could have been a lot better game than it is.

My advice is to wait until this game gets a major price cut, check out the whole "time moves when you do concept" (in) one evening, and then think about all of the amazing things that could have been done with that concept and how SUPERHOT wasted the opportunity to do any of them.

Trekkers will gain more enjoyment from this game than others based on its good storyline - they're also more likely to give the game more patience. Other gamers will find it too simple, linear, and restrictive.

If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of a collegiate sex comedy, now’s your chance. Just bring along your patience for the repetitive mini games and numerous load screens.

Hearthfire, though relatively inexpensive, isn't a DLC I can recommend for everyone. More casual Skyrim players (if those exist) may not enjoy the low-key vibe of this new content, and even the most civic-minded player might find the lack of real options in construction too limited to be much fun.

A weak track list sinks this SingStar.

The game's presentation is nice and there are a lot of little touches here and there that fans of the show will appreciate, but a game needs to deliver fun and challenge before fan service and The Great Prank War simply falls short on that.

I like Sushi Mushi's playful art style and it's take on match-3 gameplay is fun, but this is really a single player puzzle game forced into a multiplayer mold. As a single player game I'd call it recommendable, but as a multiplayer game not so much so.

Action-oriented combat and interesting graphics aren't enough to overcome what is overall a rather bland experience.
