If evolution worked like it's supposed to, this game would have come out before Pikmin, maybe by about 35,000 years or so. But no, video game evolution works backward, beginning with an intelligent design and ending with countless dim-witted offspring. This is the story of one such far-fallen apple.

Unleashed is the worst thing to happen to Godzilla since getting killed by Mothra's babies.

With more time and potentially more resources, this could have been an exciting and enjoyable experience with the power to stand on its own, independent of the film. As it is, its pleasures rust away long before it finally gets moving.

Fanged killing machines and clunky level design make this vampiric sneaker a real pain in the neck.

Its extremely short life span, accompanied by its lukewarm presentation, ensures that few players will get more than a couple of hours' worth of enjoyment out of the home version.

Steel Battalion is riddled with erratic flaws of the most insidious kind, the kind that make you think you have a chance to master them. You don't. You can only endure them, and on a handful of levels, endure them with some friends in limp online co-op. But Steel Battalion is still miserable, even with company, so unless you're a glutton for punishment, it just isn't worth it.

Fans of sluggish frame rates and clichéd combat racers pay attention: Pocket Racers is the game for you.

"Evil Dead: Hail to the King" unfortunately offers little of the appeal of its source material, as everything about the game is derivative, boring, or just plain bad.

Not only does Pocket Pool miserably fail to deliver an enjoyable game of billiards, but its attempts at titillation are more depressing than anything else.

There's so little to it, and what it does offer is dull.

Between the broken physics and dark graphics--not to mention the egregious lack of a high-score list--Pac-Man Pinball Advance suffers from a litany of problems.

This game is just flat-out bad in most every way you can think of, and for a franchise with such promise and potential, that's a truly disheartening thing.

This game sucks all the fun out of drag racing, presenting the sport as slow and tedious instead of fast and furious.
