    Night Watch
    Night Watch's main element -- combat -- is fun and engaging, especially once the characters reach higher levels and have more options. But to call it an RPG is a bit disingenuous, because you truly have very few options to individualize the characters, and the story continues in a linear fashion.

    Real War: Rogue States
    An improvement over "Real War," but only in parts. It's still a clumsy game to play with a major frustration factor.

    Astro Boy
    There were times when I was loving Astro Boy and times when it was boring me to tears.

    Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza
    The constant rattling of locked doorknobs in Nakatomi Plaza makes it obvious and frustrating. Since floors in the plaza are limited in size, why have all the locked doors?

    Die Hard: Vendetta
    The embodiment of third-rate gameplay.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mega Man: Battle Chip Challenge
    As ridiculous as it sounds, with a little more money and thought put into how the player might react to not actually playing the game, this could've been something worthwhile.

    Jurassic Park: The Game
    Jurassic Park just feels like an iOS title, and it suffers on the PC because of it.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Atlantis Evolution
    If you or a person on your Christmas list would like an adventure game with a good short story and wouldn't mind a few old-school arcade moments, Atlantis Evolution might suffice, but it's far from being a must-play.

    Star Wars: Battle for Naboo
    An original title? Heck no. Is it a complex title? Certainly not. But is it loads of fun? You bet.

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest
    We were hoping for more from The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, and we're disappointed that the game didn't do more with such a powerful license. Star Wars: Battlefront hasn't aged very well, and to get essentially the same game with a different theme left us wanting more.

    Shaman King: Power of Spirit
    The game remains faithful to the source material and blends two distinct gameplay styles into an entertaining hybrid. Fans of the series should find this a great addition to their Shaman King collection.

    Dead to Rights II
    All things considered, it's probably a blessing that Dead To Rights II is a short game. Most players will easily nail the coffin shut in a weekend.

    Spikeout: Battle Street
    Only truly hardcore fans will need to own their own copy; as competent and polished as it is for the genre, it's also a throwback.

    Lost: Via Domus
    One gets the feeling that the show's creators are trying to wash their hands of Via Domus, awkwardly placed as it is in the series' now-sprawling legendarium. But above and beyond that, fans should approach it as a lark; it's not very accomplished as a game.

    Stacked with Daniel Negreanu
    Unfortunately, similar products have been around for years now, and unless you're not old enough to play competitive poker on an online gambling site (most of which offer free games as well), it's hard to justify picking this one up.

    The Italian Job
    The game is short -- way too short. A halfway decent player is going to spend more time watching the movie than playing through the story mode.

    Nexuiz
    Again, Nexuiz is by no means a bad game. It does, however, seem like a superfluous one.

    Omerta: City of Gangsters
    During each mission, there's a chance for some turn-based squad combat to occur. These fights, I'm sorry to say, are a poor man's XCOM.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Disney/Pixar Cars
    There's no real story to hold any of this together, so in the end, Cars for the DS amounts to nothing more than some disjointed mini-games that are either too drab or too long to warrant unnecessary replays.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Ghost Rider
    The level design and longevity just isn't there to make this more than a rental or a bargain-big pick-up -- especially with God of War II's release closing fast. This rider is anything but the leader of the pack.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 39 Critic Score
    Minority Report: Everybody Runs
    Remedial action with faint glimmers of fun, wiped out by tedious and insipid gameplay.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Da Vinci Code
    The game's poor presentation and frustrating combat system make the mystery behind The Da Vinci Code one that most gamers would be better off leaving unsolved.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Frogger: Ancient Shadow
    Maybe one day Frogger will get his chance to recapture his '80s video-game glory, but if Ancient Shadow is any indication, you can probably expect a new hit single from the Bee Gees first.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Star Trek: Conquest
    It's an offensively bad use of a cherished license, and it's an offensively simple and thoughtless strategy game.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    FaceBreaker
    It remains bogged down with completely unbalanced gameplay, maddeningly difficult AI, and online gameplay that has the longevity of a stick of Big Red. That being so, there's nothing worthwhile in the final product that you can't get in the demo.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Transformers: The Game
    It's hard to recommend Transformers: The Movie on its own merits, but those looking to simply stomp around a city as Optimus Prime will have some fun with it.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dead to Rights: Reckoning
    If Namco just spent another month or two polishing the camera and targeting, it could have had a rock solid action title under its belt.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    RuneSword II
    It's occasionally so rough around the edges that you'll lose sight of its superlative premise and you might just decide you'd rather play "Baldur's Gate" after all.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dawn of Destiny
    A visually clumsy representation of the card game with an even clumsier and clunkier way to play against another duelist.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Transformers: The Game
    I can't imagine anyone but diehard fans going to these lengths. Everyone else should stick to Atari's game that's based on Transformers Armada -- it's still the best way to wage a battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.
