How far can cinematics get you when the gameplay sandwiched between them is so poorly paced, so utterly misconceived, so reliant on stick wriggles and button tapping? There's a place for contextual prompts and cinematic storytelling in video games, but Resident Evil 6 is a mishmash of elements put together without any sense of care or direction.

It's inelegant and underdeveloped, and it represents a major step backward when compared to the original. Halfhearted dialogue, bad AI, unimaginative level design, stripped RPG elements, and all sorts of other factors make the game feel as if it were pieced together on an assembly line and quickly tossed onto store shelves.

Series faithful might stumble through for the sake of story, and perhaps to appreciate those few moments that recall when Resident Evil was at its peak glory. But this long, poor sequel is the ultimate test of patience for even the most dedicated.

No amount of Xzibit influence or ride pimpage can save Pimp My Ride from its god-awful minigames and lousy driving mechanics.

This alternate-history shooter is proof that an interesting premise can't compensate for boring and broken gameplay.

Double Time gives you double the frustration for half the price.

The troubled real-time strategy dungeon sim Impire fails to recapture the charms of its inspirations.

A frighteningly flawed action-heavy spin-off that withers in the shadow of its superior alternatives.

Problematic controls rain on this whimsical, yet shallow, parade.

This platformer based on the Clone Wars TV series tries to copy the Lego game formula but gets just about everything wrong.
