Deep Black: Reloaded squanders its potential on broken cover-based shooting sequences.

This hypersexualized role-playing game degrades the console war with questionable gameplay mechanics, choppy animation, and some truly awful music.

Ridge Racer offers incredibly poor value, with a lack of compelling content to back up its competent arcade racing credentials.

Whatever merit Myst had left has been blown away by a sloppy touch interface, poorly implemented new features, and overly compressed visuals.

Dull, repetitive, and carelessly programmed don't even begin to sum up how crummy this action game based on the Looney Tunes license is.

Even though Those Who Remain may awash you in good old-fashioned terror and ingenuity for a few brief periods, these are mostly lost in a sea of frustration and generic horror metaphors.

Short, unremarkable, and overpriced, Battle: Los Angeles is a shooter to be avoided.

Big Oil is poorly designed all around, with frustrating bugs, a practically unworkable interface, and tiresome gameplay.

Extreme repetition, poor controls, and a barely there story makes this game a dull proposition from start to finish.

While much of Duke Nukem Forever is embarrassingly bad--the kind of game you point and laugh at--its biggest problem is that it's so tedious...This game takes an icon and turns him into a laughingstock. Except, no one's laughing.

Even if the game featured stable controls, the overall package is still mediocre at best. But with the bad controls, compounded by lackadaisical graphics and boring gameplay, Q*bert: Rebooted never had the potential to shine anyway. Q*bert, old friend, you deserve better.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is ultimately just disappointing. It's unclear whether it wants to be a remaster or a collection that preserves two major games from Star Wars' history, but in both instances, it fails. This is neither an accurate representation of what Battlefront and Battlefront 2 were, nor does it make enough adjustments to bring two decades-old games into the modern era. The result is a collection that's not really fun to play, and well worth skipping.

Daylight makes for an interesting experiment in audience participation, but no crowd of online viewers can make the poor writing any better or the themes any less hackneyed. In creating a game designed for return visits, Zombie Studios ironically forgot to make a game worth playing in the first place.

Decent ideas can't rescue this shoddy survival horror game.

Awkwardness abounds in this messy Kinect sports collection.

Onechanbara makes zombie-slaying women boring.

Lucha Fury is a beat-'em-up that proves that beauty is only screen deep.

It's a challenge, to be sure, but so is crossing the Sahara. The desert might even give more back.

Not counting massively multiplayer delivery quests, my top benchmark for delivery-style games is still Choplifter. Fluster Cluck can be found at the opposite end of that spectrum.

A simplistic, extremely short experience, with abundant flaws that outweigh its few redeeming features.

Hatred is too repetitive to be exciting, too dumb to be frightening, too basic for you to feel accomplished at its end, too dour to be violently cathartic, too self-serious to engender ironic amusement, and yet still too childish to matter...essentially, it's a nothing of a game.

Despite the occasional laughs and wonderfully weird multiplayer modes, Devil's Third is near-impossible to recommend. The numerous issues with the controls as well as crucial elements of the game's combat systems soon mount up to provide an experience that frustrates far more often than it entertains, resulting in a missed opportunity for what could've been a cult hit.

The empty and amateurish Post Apocalyptic Mayhem belongs in the junkyard, not on your PC.

Stripped-down controls with little punishment for crashing make Wacky Races an extremely boring racer.

Breached has a spark, but it ultimately fades before catching fire.

Ultimately, Conan Exiles is one of the most unsatisfying games I’ve ever played. Its crafting and resource systems may be dense enough that the ultra-patient could find something to enjoy here, but anyone else would likely walk away with their hands thrown up in defeat. The mind-numbing tedium of harvesting resources, woefully boring combat, and a slew of bugs left me feeling completely underwhelmed and unimpressed when it was all said and done.

Shallow gameplay, technical flaws, and rubbish difficulty make this more of a benchwarmer than a goal.
