    X-Men: The Official Game
    Perhaps the worst offense of all would have to be Wolverine. Not only has Z-Axis managed to take everyone's favorite adamantium-infused Canadian wildman and turn him into possibly the most boring hero ever, they've pinned a sizable majority of the action upon playing as him. Boring, you say? Yes.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare
    As nightmares go, this one ranks right up there with the one about entering the schoolyard pantsless, and perhaps even on fire. The turtles deserve better, and its unfortunate this game extends their bad luck streak.

    Blade & Sword
    It's not a matter of the game bringing forth 140 hours of fun, rewarding gameplay, but 140 hours of watching-the-paint-dry monotony. You're better off checking out the wealth of "Diablo II" mods than plodding your way through Blade & Sword.

    The Terminator: Dawn of Fate
    I think if they had a little more time to work on the camera and control issues (and improve the graphics), Dawn of Fate could've been a great game. Instead it's just a game that the publisher rushed out the door, and it's mediocre (at best) because of it.

    Minority Report: Everybody Runs
    This is the worst of the three versions, if only because the 25-30 frames-per-second romp slows to five fps and judders along for a few seconds before righting itself.

    Samurai Warriors: Katana
    As much as we enjoyed playing Katana, we really can't recommend it to most gamers. While the Wii Remote sword combat is the best we've seen yet, there are other games on the horizon that will likely do it better ("Dragon Quest: Swords" or "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" perhaps?).

    EyeToy: Operation Spy
    Operation Spy proves there's plenty of spy-related mini-games yet to be made, but ripping them out of the context of some kind of story means it's all pretty boring.

    Portal Runner
    Several shots short of a 21 gun salute.

    Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects
    Although Marvel Nemesis is far from being a perfect game, it's still an exceptionally strong outing for EA. Comic fans should be suitably impressed with EA's use of the Marvel license, and fighting fans will likely find more than enough substance to keep themselves entertained.

    Virtua Quest
    Just a sadly mediocre attempt to do something that really didn't need doing. Now, can we please have a real VF adventure, Sega?

    Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
    The purpose of parody is to comment on a topic, by means of humorous or satiric imitation, and Eat Lead manages to pull this off admirably. I enjoyed playing this game, not because it was a very good shooter, but because it made me think (and laugh) about the other games I play.

    Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup
    While Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup is a faithful handheld version of the literary sport, it doesn't quite work as a game without the feeling of flight that is Quidditch's most magical aspect.

    Spy vs. Spy
    Even though Spy vs. Spy has some dreadful, contrived gameplay, things are evened out a bit with options for in-game Dolby Digital sound and HDTV 480p functions. Even though you're stuck with a mediocre game, it will look and sound fairly clean.

    Tak: The Great Juju Challenge
    A somewhat benign, scaled-down version of the console version that might catch some parents' eye on the shelf come holiday shopping time.

    Hammer & Sickle
    One of those "if only" games: if only the RPG elements had been fully developed; if only the game world were larger; if only the combat were smoother and not slow as molasses; if only the A.I. were stronger; if only the bugs and general sloppiness had been worked out.

    Transformers: The Game
    I can't imagine anyone but diehard fans going to these lengths. Everyone else should stick to Atari's game based on Transformers Armada -- it's still the best way to wage a battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.

    Krater
    Krater is a game with many problems, most all the more irritating for being specifically added to the formula instead of simply messing it up.

    Midnight Nowhere
    Midnight Nowhere has a very creepy atmosphere, excellent puzzles, and great voice acting. If it weren't for the terrible translations, it might be one of the best adventure games of the year.

    18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker
    Fun for a few minutes but gets played out all too quickly.

    Duke Nukem Forever: The Doctor Who Cloned Me
    The Doctor Who Cloned Me does at least include four new maps for the generally entertaining multiplayer modes, but no one seems to be playing them online, so they're pretty lonely -- and that situation isn't going to get any better when people hear what a waste of $10 this DLC is.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    That rushed feeling permeates through the entire game.

    187 Ride or Die
    If a little more focus had been placed on adding depth to the game, 187 could have been a solid title for Ubisoft. Instead, comical use of lingo and the otherwise average presentation make 187 Ride or Die feel more like a poser than a player.

    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.

    Star Trek: New Worlds
    Take this game back to the drawing board; make it a game that would be good WITHOUT the Star Trek name behind it and stop relying on a franchise to sell a product.

    Jaws Unleashed
    Spending 30 minutes aimlessly wondering around because you can't figure out what random part of the environment you're supposed to manipulate or sequence of moves to string together to topple a structure is unforgivable.

    Seven Games of the Soul
    Definitely not a game for everyone. But for those of us who enjoy a good, solid adventure of the more morbid variety, SGOTS is definitely not a bad choice at all.

    Pax Romana
    If there's a lesson to be learned from Pax Romana, it's this: give us all the finger-licking detail you can pack in, but don't ruin it with a poorly conceived interface. It sunk "Master of Orion III," and it sinks Pax Romana in the final analysis.

    Auto Modellista
    The curse of Japanese racer audio lives on in Auto Modellista. The announcer needs a good punch in the face.

    Gangs of London
    Some of this is good, some of this is utterly boring, but there sure is a lot to do.

    WinBack 2: Project Poseidon
    There's a strange sense of... Well, it isn't fun exactly, but it's a slightly addictive charm that forces you to reassemble your controller and try that damn stage one more time... until you fail again due to circumstances beyond your control, and the rage returns.
