Leave this one to diehard CSI fans who want to click their way through five new episodes of the show with little effort.

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

It's hard to recommend this game to anyone who is not a 2D fighting virtuoso looking for challenging play on Xbox Live.

Heavy Weapon is fun in short bursts, but just doesn't give you enough bang for your buck.

Battlefield has had some shaky launches in the past, and there’s no reason not to think that things will eventually be smoothed over in Battlefield 2042 over time. However, Battlefield 2042 is also weighed down by design issues and missing features. You’re going to want to wait on this one, and even then give some thought to skipping this iteration in the series.

Yet another effort to make music games portable fails to make the charts.

Strategy gamers won’t feel the need to resurrect this annihilated empire.

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

Fun gameplay is the real murder victim here.

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

Combat is key in any good RPG and in Dragon Song the combat is very plain and in at least one area very bad.

Too much repetition, too many problems, not enough fun.

Overall ProStroke Golf is like an afternoon spent at an old muni course. You can have some fun with it but overall it’s bland and functional.

For an "untamed" game, MX vs. ATV Untamed just isn't all that interesting or fun to play.

Hydrophobia is a pretty good technical demo wrapped in an incomplete and unpolished game.

Dragon’s Lair HD is not likely to appeal to anyone who is not already a lifelong aficionado of the game.

The graphics are dated, the battles are like pulling teeth and while there is a lot to accomplish, none of it ever actually borders on being fun.

This game is essentially a watered down racer that is easily replaced by any other racing game.

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.

The problem is that using the Ring is not critical to success in the game - you can complete it easily enough without ever using the Ring.

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.

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.

Leave this one to that small population of the gaming public that likes to play their games while facing their fish tank.

Take a Tom Clancy game, remove the realism, the freedom in pursuing your objectives, intelligent squad AI, and just about everything else that makes those games so much fun and you're left with nothing more than a mediocre shooter with a good storyline.

If the game’s story, characters, and research aspect sound really appealing to you, then go ahead and give the game a try – there is some intriguing gameplay under the incomplete covers. For anyone else, though, I’d recommend that you use your real-world Google skills to find another adventure game to play.

Only true diehard Transformers fans will be able to sit through this game, despite the fact that it’s pretty short. Everyone else will simply wish that it could transform into a better game.

If you really love Rainbow Six, then rent the game because you'll blow through the game pretty quickly.

While I appreciate the effort and skill that went into creating a game that throws back to an era that I miss dearly, Star Horizon simply misses the mark. The core of the game - the aiming and shooting - just isn't up to par. Your ship moving at the pace of a mail truck in a crowded neighborhood doesn't help either. While technically competent and somewhat well-written, Star Horizon just doesn't live up to the games it is meant to celebrate, though if there was a Star Horizon 2 on the, um, horizon, I'd sign up for it. The ingredients of greatness are all here, but a sequel with reworked systems could really, really sing.
