A simple platformer that doesn’t stand out in any regard. The constant platform jumping grows tiresome very quickly, and the bare-bones combat system is pretty boring.

Monster Madness: Grave Danger is an improvement over the XBOX 360 title, but still has some kinks. The story is lacking and I can’t really see gamers being drawn into it again for a second go around.

The graphical rendering of the characters are very sharp-edged, the camera angles hinder gameplay at times, the sound is definitely lacking, and the paths through the various levels seems to be quite linear.

This is an arcade game, but definitely not the best soccer experience out there. It has some unique elements and is light entertainment ­ if you turn off the sound.

Sadly, you wont get much with this title. A few missions and you'll probably be done with it.

The story in Rule of Rose is an amazingly twisted macabre tale that you won’t find on a daily basis in your local game store. Unfortunately, the design team appears to have been so focused on the story part of the game that they forget to actually put a game in it.

Takes a step in the wrong direction by trying to take the popular card game and turn it into a turn based style RPG kind of format.

Has its shining moments of fun, but these precious moments are overshadowed by a far greater evil--terrible level design and slow-as-molasses controls.

Controls make players suffer, with no customization to speak of. It's too hard to rotate your character, and the lack of a strafe is very unfortunate.

Decent controls, cool (but repetitive) vehicles, and appropriate gameplay guidelines are this game’s strongest features. The lack of track variety, however, doesn’t give the player much to do.

Great license, great movie, bad game.

In concept it is a great game, but the execution and half baked controls really ruin this game that would have been on gamers must have list.

The character controls are pretty standard to both third person and FPS titles, but they are very stiff and slow. Not the kind of thing you want in a shoot-out or high-speed chase.

If the developers took a little more time and fleshed out the game more it would have been so much better, especially since Aang can fly in the television show but can't in the game.

Sadly, Lost in Blue 3 has lost it’s charm or sense of adventure that made the first game so refreshingly appealing to Nintendo DS owners.

A game that suffers from “could have been great“ syndrome. The weapons are cool and the missions are exciting, but the controls ruined everything.

With a camera that's less wieldy than a shaken pop bottle, Death by Degrees leaves the player with few reasons to return for more. The gameplay nearly redefines the word repetition.

For casual gamers seeking virtual checkers, solitaire, and other simple board and Web games, this might be enough. But for the rest of us, TouchMaster isn’t worth touching.

The Game Boy Advance is not equipped to handle a game of this stature. The developers had very little to work with, forcing them to bring the game down to a level that's often too weak to enjoy.

Only the most die-hard fans of the Perry Rhodan series will truly love this game. Others looking for a well-thought out and engaging adventure may want to look elsewhere.

Anyone young enough to appreciate the simple puzzles and kiddy license will be turned off by the high frustration level. Anyone old enough to withstand the high frustration level will be turned off by the simple puzzles and kiddy license. For hardcore fans of the show or the genre only.

There's nothing very super about Super Monkey Ball Adventure and that's thanks to a poorly conceived story mode that takes us away from the familiar elements we love the most.

Marred by the controls, Warhammer: Battle March could’ve been something truly impressive with how upbeat the battles are. But in the end, it turns out that Battle March is much more of a wallflower than the prom king at the big dance.

The style Vanessa adds with her dance moves is one of the biggest draws, but poor controls and overpowered enemies bog this title down. Maybe the enemies seem harder because the controls are bad, but something needs fixing.

The game is a shadow of its more popular cousins. If you have an itch to rock out on your DS, then I think you know which way to go.

Starts out like a raging inferno but quickly extinguishes itself rather quickly with its repetitiveness and dreadful controls.

Unfortunately the AI in the game makes it frustrating at times, and the simple hack-and-slash style of the game really doesn’t do anything to make the MK universe unique; it just offers up something we’ve all seen and done before with a couple of minor tweaks.

Syberia is one of the greatest point-and-click adventure games of all time, but the DS version is broken at a fundamental level. Avoid this painful port and track down the PC original instead.

The graphics in this game are unsurprisingly bad; the character models look as if they consist of no more then ten or twenty polygons apiece.

The graphics are nice and the sound effects well done. However the crazy AI and repetitive gameplay outweighs all of the positives.

Monsters vs. Aliens starts out very strong, but quickly falters due the constant repetition in the gameplay. Fans of the movie might enjoy this one for the first few hours, but those who stick with it longer than that will be eager to see the credits roll.

SPRay is a decent game that will certainly appeal to its target audience: younger gamers. Other than that if players are looking for a decent action game then they will want to check out this game.

Lacks excitement. It is a simple game in which the only thing that stands out are the graphical elements.

Fans of Sonic and the Secret Rings may want to rent Black Knight to experience the speedy, roller coaster-inspired stages. But most players will be disappointed, frustrated and frequently annoyed by stage interruptions and other gameplay elements that should not exist.

Koei delivers another beat-‘em-up that pits players against hundreds of on-screen opponents, though it barely provides any type of worthwhile replay to attract players to devote endless hours of their time.

The main saving grace for Rygar: The Battle of Argus is that it’s one of the easier Wii action games to play. Unfortunately, it suffers from a total lack of originality for those who are familiar with the 3D action game genre.

I get what this game is - a quick casual game featuring zombies, but just because it is a casual game doesn't mean it has to be poorly executed. I hope there is a sequel and they address the glaring problems the game has.

I was hoping for more in a title like this and although I admit there is some fun in there, the real deal is that the game is lacking a lot of the qualities that make the Warhammer license.

The bad aspects in the game just overtake all the good it tries to accomplish, resulting in just an average game-show game.

Sometimes we don’t need to read or hear the words of others to know that we can still enjoy something while others just don’t get it.

Touch Mechanic doesn’t try to create a revolutionary gameplay experience. Instead it treads in a wading pool that isn’t too deep for anyone to feel worried. If you’re a car buff and wanted a customization/repair car game then Touch Mechanic will be your game. You’ll have probably just enough elements to keep you playing all the way until the end.

Playing The Guy Game by yourself is like playing Monopoly by yourself; the point of the game is to compete for the most points, so it’s boring to play alone. If you have two or three other friends that are into nudity, drinking, and high school humor this is a great choice.

I must say if you are looking for a decent action game you'd be better off with "SOCOM;" this ghost just has no legs.

If the gameplay was more balanced across all of the games this could be a worthy title for your collection. But if you’re a Carnival Game junkie on the Wii, then you will probably have to pick this one up anyway.

A lesson in frustration.

While some gamers may see the simplicity as a downside, others may enjoy the fact that it's mindless. I'm on the fence – I enjoy deep gameplay, but sometimes if the game is fun I don't want to be bothered with finding keys or jumping over pits. Painkiller is just plain fun.

Buku Sudoku is worth your time but it won’t replace your pen-and-paper version.

The controls are a bit clumsy, and the overall game just isn’t much fun. Maneuverability isn’t as good as it should be in a helicopter, making the chopper an easy target for enemy soldiers. Not much fun at all.

The main problem is the lack of depth. The only good thing is the large-scale battles with little slowdown. The camera also insists on showing the most useless positions.

Although the game is somewhat entertaining, the graphics make it almost unplayable.

It's too easy, the controls stink, the game is not engaging and it's too short.

The ideas were there but sloppy AI really makes this game falter well before the goal.

Runs out of steam pretty quickly.

Control was my biggest issue throughout the game. If the interface was fine tuned a bit and made a little easier to use, The Great Escape could have been a blast to play.

Astro Boy is simply not where it needs to be. Not too much fun found here and the fun that is found, is so tough to get to, it will alienate its core audience.

It's almost too sad to mention, the game's controls just aren't very sharp, muddied targeting and apparently the slowest agent, ever, make this game just no fun to control. First person shooters are a genre that has a massive amount of followers, why make your game so poorly controlled?

Unforgiving AI, lack of play options to customize your game, and the annoying fact that you can’t restart a race during a championship really can make the game more aggravating than enjoyable.

The driving and shooting found in Starsky & Hutch would have been a dream come true but thanks to the awkwardness of the controls for the shooting side of it you’ll be frustrated if you’re playing this as a single player experience. The missions can also become really repetitive and that’s too bad since there are a small number of missions that really kick asphalt.

When looking at this game, players will see a decent movie stuff with a sub-par game. The movie in this compilation really outshines this game.

This is a clone that's only worth renting if you've yet to tire of the genre's many stereotypes.

A poorly designed main game surrounded on all sides by high quality elements. Unfortunately, the strengths of the latter in no way make up for the shortcomings of the former.

If you have to see what it's about for yourself, rent it before purchasing, and above all else… find a friend.

There’s nothing terribly wrong with Turn It Around. But with so many similar games that have more content and more gameplay variety, it’s hard to find a reason to recommend it.

Even though the Xbox 360 version contains two additional levels and boss fight this is not really worth the price of admission since there are so many better games already out on the market.

We would have accepted the game's dark tone and its somewhat appealing be-a-dirty-cop-if-you-want gimmick, but because of its poor controls and weak action there's just not much to really like.

Kong for the GBA isn't as "King" as it should be. Instead we're treated to a 16-bit era inspired action adventure game that is based on a classic movie.

The control is the factor I had the most trouble with. The game is intended to be arcade-like, yet you can’t fishtail around corners. You have to slow way down if you want to stay on the road. This isn’t much of a problem once you figure out the mechanics of it, but it is a little annoying.

The controls aren't that fun, the graphics are dated and the sound isn't really all that tight, but the game has some fun hidden in there when taken in small doses.

The multiplayer doesn’t deliver any type of replay value that drives me back to playing Rise & Fall. The campaign is short and the difficulty level is on the basic side of the river.

There are some moments when Puzzle Kingdoms is a lot of fun, almost addictively so. But it relies too heavily on a puzzle game that just simply isn't that deep or fun.

I really wanted to like this game, and honestly, I could have forgiven the poor sound effects/music and sometimes painful colors of the game. But I cannot forgive the horribly frustrating camera control. I want a do over and I want that camera fixed.

At the end of day gaming is all about having fun. If you’re looking for a simple, mindless shooter to spend a few minutes of your time, then No Mercy can fit the bill. But if you’re looking for a game that will keep you coming back for more and more then you should look elsewhere.

Clunky and out of control, GunGriffon: Allied Strike is barely out of the beta phase. At least that's how it plays. Everything you do is slow.

The very sub par AI and difficulty of the single player mode isn’t going to be worth $9.99 per month for a lot of you out there, and even multiplayer fans won’t get much at the moment since there aren’t many people online.

You’ve played this game before, but better.

Scene It? features plenty of movie trivia factoids to keep cinemaphiles happy, but a dearth of features (no online play?!?) and the availability of other, better trivia games for PlayStation 3 makes me doubt that this was ever intended for the big screen to begin with.

A series of impressive ideas that just aren't implemented well enough to make this game really shine through its too numerous to count imperfections.

Overall you will be able to buy this game, sit down, and finish it all the way through in about 10 - 15 minutes.

F1 2009 has some great steering/controller options, but the courses are much too hectic (and require too many stops) for players to get the most out of the game.

I had high hopes for some real rock em' sock em' aviation action, it never happened.

A disappointing game from start to finish. Garfield would never work this hard for anything, not even lasagna.

While the intent was a good one, the execution leaves something to be desired. Pax Romana has deep content, but the gameplay is a little on the weak side.

Add some simple moves, a little combo, and repeat...constantly. The special death move was also a failed attempt in my book.

You will find yourself getting bored with steering the ships around pretty soon as the mission objectives are not that fun. Also the controls are a bit quirky, I have a very hard time trying to use my mouse to use the throttles.

I could do without fancy-schmancy visuals and professional voice-acting, all I require in my RPG is good solid gameplay and satisfying plot progression. Neither of which are present in this game.

Final Fight: Streetwise is mediocre, and that's it. The mini games aren't inspired and as simple as they get, the fighting system is fun but gets old, and the story is boring.

This game was fun for a couple hours, lasted only a few, and left me wanting to go back to watching the anime series.

A bloodless hack-and-slasher that goes nowhere and will leave gamers feeling truly disappointed.

It’s obvious to see that Tron hasn’t lasted the “test of time.” For only 400 MS Points, you shouldn’t expect much more than a straight up port with a few additions thrown on top.

A true nightmare to sit down and play for a long period of time.

I was quickly disappointed when I found out that all those cool combos I had seen were executed by a single press of the button. I wanted the actual combat to be that exciting, but it wasn’t.

There’s no excuse for this pathetic release by Electronic Arts. Sure, they refined a few things but when push comes to shove, gamers shouldn’t have to endure mediocrity within their favorite sport since there’s no other alternative.

I guess I'll have to revert to my own personal memories of raising horses and when I didn't have an evil taskmaster yelling at me for how I clean a stall! This one comes out the gate strong, but stumbles on the jumps.

The potential and real world model was there for the emulation, but something along the transition didn't make it out of the batter's box. The complexity of having that annoyance stylus maneuvering just added frustration to a game that was already missing "pep."

Lots of hitting a button to advance the typed text, looped music that gets old after three-four minutes and generic platforming – this is a game that did not aspire to be much more than a cliché-driven title.

No multiplayer options almost seems to be a crime for a modern FPS game. The limited squad-based interaction doesn't help to elevate the game to a higher standard.

The best part about this remake is the ability to unlock the original NARC from 1988, but only if you can force yourself to play long enough to do so.

Much of what was decent about the flawed original isn't intact in a sequel that's not so gosh darn fun or funny.
