    MLB SlugFest 2006
    In the end, SlugFest's budget price certainly helps it, but it doesn't save it. Too many facets of the game feel completely phoned-in to make this a worthwhile purchase, even at $20. It's really too bad that this quality baseball series couldn't go out in a classier fashion.

    Brothers in Arms: D-Day
    Rehashed gameplay and poor controls...make the game feel like just another console-to-PSP hack job where the makers of the game were just trying to make a quick buck.

    Robotron 64
    At first glance, the game looks like it's moving faster than the old-school arcade version. But in reality, the game is very slow-paced. The robots never seem to get close enough to pose a threat. I went through 40 of the game's 200 levels before losing one life.

    IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix
    If you can make it past IGPX's terrible presentation and steep learning curve, you just might find an inexplicably satisfying mech-combat racing game.
    • 63 Metascore

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
    Though Dead Man's Chest is largely competent, the sword fighting is too repetitive and the minigames are too few and too bland to get anyone particularly excited.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Luxor: The Wrath of Set
    Luxor: The Wrath of Set's uninteresting gameplay and lackluster presentation don't do anything to set it apart from other, better puzzle games available for the PSP.

    NBA 06
    Certain aspects of the 06 game have definitely been improved over its forebear. However, the gameplay didn't keep up its end of the bargain, so it's a case of two steps forward and two steps back.

    Highland Warriors
    Historical accuracy doesn't compensate for the deficiencies in its gameplay and graphics... It has some good ideas, but it lacks polish.

    Over G Fighters
    Though the game attempts to be more than mission-based monotony by also offering online multiplayer and some other options, the sluggish flight controls, bland graphics, and often-poor English translations conspire to make Over G Fighters a vapid package, overall.

    Harvest Moon DS
    Aside from including some half-baked touch-screen features, Harvest Moon DS does nothing to set itself apart from previous games in the series.

    Ribbit King
    After the novelty of watching purposely weird characters launch frogs through Mouse Trap-style obstacle courses wears off, which, admittedly, might take a little while, you're left with a simple, shallow game.

    Riding Spirits
    After only a few minutes with it, you'll quickly notice that it not only has poor control, repetitive sounds, and bland graphics, but also blatantly rips off the overall structure and visual stylings of "Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec."

    Star Trek: Legacy
    This starship combat game simply can't overcome bad controls, frustrating mission designs, and a mess of bugs.

    Alfred Hitchcock presents The Final Cut
    The only suspense in The Final Cut is the fear that one of the numerous bugs will make it impossible to continue through the game's easy puzzles and nonsensical story.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Cruis'n Exotica
    Playing Exotica requires very little skill or finesse, but for the casual gamer who doesn't want to commit lots of time to racing a track, that's not really a bad thing.

    Sudden Strike Forever
    Those whose impression of the first game was negative shouldn't expect to have their opinions changed.

    Sydney 2000
    If you buy into the whole button-mashing mentality of track and field games, you'll find that Sydney 2000 turns in a solid, finger-numbing performance.

    The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
    The title may say that this is a new beginning, but Spyro's latest adventure isn't much more than a collection of tired, overused platforming clichés.

    The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean
    The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean is a competent and lengthy role-playing game, but it's painfully generic without the slightest tinge of originality or creative flair.

    Dinotopia: The Timestone Pirates
    A decent-enough platformer with some very nice visuals.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Outlaw Volleyball Remixed
    The most frustrating thing about Outlaw Volleyball Remixed is that, were it not for the stupid posturing and the fact that it's a clunky port of a 2-year-old title, it's not inherently that bad of a game.

    Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
    Those looking for more complexity in their action games, though, will definitely want to look elsewhere.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Knight Rider: The Game
    Knight Rider isn't all bad--the game's missions can be enjoyable, even if they're repetitive.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Supercar Street Challenge
    The high-speed supercars featured in the game feel lifeless, the courses seem entirely too convoluted, and the physics are unexciting.

    Fantastic 4
    The game suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Big Biz Tycoon
    In trying to walk the line between being a virtual-life game and a business management game, Big Biz Tycoon limits itself to mediocrity.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Classic NES Series: Ice Climber
    Xevious is certainly a classic game, but it's a classic <I>arcade</I> game, not a classic NES game.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    World Series of Poker
    Options for poker games on the Cube are scant at best, but even so, the merely competent opponent AI and middling career mode aren't enough to make this version worth your while.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Kororinpa: Marble Mania
    Kororinpa: Marble Mania gets challenging too late and doesn't have enough levels to hold your interest for long.
