The world of Gothic 3 is filled with bugs you can not slay.

Quit reading this, head to the store and buy something that isn't Halo Wars.

A unique storyline and bland, generic gameplay still make for a bland, generic game.

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

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

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

I hate to say it, but White Knight Chronicles is a huge letdown. Aside from some of the environments, everything in the game is merely average or, in some cases, below that. The broken, boring combat stands as the game's biggest problem, but I can't help but feel that even if it was more exciting, the game would still be sub par.

Aside from the random battle system, I can't think of anything bad to say about Nostalgia. Interesting setup? Check. Good story? Check. Amazing presentation? Check. Exciting method of travel? Check. Plenty to do? Check. But none of that stuff can overcome the developer laziness and player annoyance that comes with the random battle system, which is even more grievous here because it extends to the airship travel, not just the on-foot dungeons.

I really wanted to enjoy this game. I collect Funko Pops and love many of the franchises represented in the game, and fully expected an experience at the same level of quality as the LEGO games. I’m also surprised that given the popularity of the Pop Yourself custom figures, the game doesn’t have any kind of character-building feature. Unfortunately, I can’t really recommend this game, you’ll probably find it as frustrating and disappointing as I did.

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.

The volleyball is worse than in the first game. [Feb 2007, p.82]

The basic idea of Yoostar 2 seems perfect for the Kinect, but too many technical issues means this should be left of the cutting room floor.

Any good feelings generated during the game's opening and initial sequence were quickly squashed by the game's numbing tedium... Looks great, no filling.

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

As much as I wanted to love Warlocks 2, the combat just is so sloppy, so clumsy and so - frankly - impossible that all the stuff the game does splendidly, it almost doesn't matter. Tons of characters, a funny story, great graphics and sound... none of it can escape the crushing weight of the just plain bad combat. QubicGames will forever have a soft spot in my heart, but this is definitely a misfire in their expansive catalogue. Skip this one; get Rekt instead.

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.

Battle for Europe will sap any enthusiasm that you have for the game from the very beginning and won’t do anything to generate any fun or excitement if for some reason you decide to stick with it. Look for your flight thrills elsewhere.

Operation Spy is strictly for the 007 crowd – the age 0 to 7 crowd, that is.

Overall, The Lost Admiral Returns doesn’t have enough going for it to hook a new generation of strategy gamers. While there are strategy games that can stand the test of time, The Lost Admiral Returns is not one of them. This fleet could use a modernization overhaul.

Star Trek D-A-C has barely anything to do with Star Trek and even worse has little to do with fun.

I have a hard time recommending the game to the types of gamers who would find The Academy appealing from its description. Adventure gamers looking for a Harry Potter experience will be disappointed in how bland the world of The Academy is. Puzzle gamers will be disappointed in the overall quality and challenge of the puzzles. And Professor Layton fans, well, maybe The Academy will give them an even greater appreciation for how well-designed the Professor Layton games are.

The overall graphical design of Eresys is really good, but the game gets boring quick.

Who knew that solving a mystery at a school for wizards would be so tedious?

Koi looks nice enough, but the only other thing going for it is that it can be finished within a couple of hours. Yes, in this case that's a good thing.

Culpa Innata is best left to the most masochistic of adventure game fans.

Rocket Bowl takes two relatively boring video game genres and creates an entirely new boring genre from them.

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

There's nothing really more to the game other than an occasional comic book style still between levels. Unless you're the most diehard of Kong fan, there's not much that's going to hold your interest past your first session with the game.
