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.

Been there, done that, and it's been done a lot better.

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.

Pneumata might look good and it has some overall good enemies and play control, but there are tons and tons of negatives in this game that weight it down. Outside of achievements, this game has no replay value at all. I’d only recommend this game to the most hardcore of hardcore survival horror fans. If you have to play every single horror game out at the moment then give it a try and judge it for yourself. Other than that, I would recommend Fobia or Jack Holmes for those that want a taste of an RE7-inspired survival horror.

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

Less a game than a geopolitical simulator of a bizarre, parallel Earth. Try not to hurt yourself while rushing out to the store to pick up your copy.

The evolved game is fun in small doses and more so in multiplayer, but the archaic classic mode is a game that should be left to rest in peace.

187 Ride or Die just doesn't have anything going for it. The gameplay is repetitive and uninspired, the campaign mode is tedious, and the multiplayer play is boring.

I can see the appeal lasting about as long as it takes the movie to be released on Blu-ray, but probably not much after that.

There’s a lot of potential for a great game here, though. Hopefully Superman will return again and this time bring more gameplay with him.

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.

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.

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

If building the Seven Wonders of the World was this easy, I wonder why there weren’t a lot more of them.

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

Plain and simple, Duke Nukem Forever suffers from being passed around the development table for too long without any updates to its core.

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

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

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

I can't recommend this game to anyone, unless someone out there actually enjoys fighting with the controller while blindly swimming the seas in a vain search for their next obscure objective. Best to string up this one by its tail.

There’s not enough gameplay and too much repetition in this high school game … perhaps in that way it’s too much like the real thing.

If you really love World War II naval combat and have a very high degree of patience, then maybe take a look at Destroyer Command.

Flashback has resurfaced and is now upgraded for a new generation of gamers, but it's weighted down heavily with shortcomings.

For all the hype surrounding its real-world missions, when you get down to it you’re paying $10 a month for what is at best a budget title shooter.

And for being a “suspense” game, there are times when the music sounds like you’re on a carousal. Not good at all.

Exercise your brain by thinking of creative ways to avoid this game.

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

Risk Your Life: PotE can be entertaining and thrilling, but it’ll take some work to make it that way.
