While its design flaws make the game rather frustrating to play, the real treat is in trashing the terrain and slamming you rider through a glass window.

Hot Pixel for the PSP would have been a fun alternative to Nintendo’s micro mini-game offering but in the end, it just lacks quality or quantity and that little spark of fun that makes gamers want to revisit the mini-games again and again.

Battle for Atluma is a good package for any lover of the card game, but it doesn’t offer anything special to draw outsiders into the experience.

This is a game that will probably appeal just to the core Code Lyoko fan-base. From a gaming standpoint, however, this game is near the bottom.

Nearly identical to a game that was released 3 years ago, with almost minimal upgrades. Some aspects have even been taken out or downgraded.

Pass on this unless you are someone who would rather play games on a console that don’t translate that well to the video-game platform. The controls are not that good and grind the frustration level even when trying to play the games on their original settings. Some of the retro games are decent, though.

There are a few great moments in the game that fans of the series will truly enjoy, but these moments are scattered far and between to make gamers want to stick with the game for a long period of time.

Despite an exciting multiplayer mode, Team Sabre never rises above its various flaws and its simplistic single-player level design that offers no real challenge.

Good for the kiddies if frustration is not an issue. I can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be.

The game is a nightmare to learn.

For young kids only. Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3 is a simple and repetitive mini-game collection that doesn’t deliver any significant penalties for screwing up.

Unbearably hard and quite frankly pointless puzzles and sub-par acting with sub-par characters leave this ring waiting to be destroyed in Mt. Doom.

If Cars (the original video game that was a pseudo-sequel to the original film) can entertain adult gamers even though it was clearly designed for kids, what does that say about a Toy Story game that fails to amuse the fans who grew up with the franchise?

Cartoon Network Racing doesn’t do anything special. It doesn’t contain any hidden hooks, nor does it fulfill the promise of bringing the excitement of a CN series to the video-game world.

The interface is clunky and once you can get past that, you will find this is a game that is very much in step with every RPG stereotype. Yep, there are load times, too.

Not that spectacular a fighting game, mostly consisting of repetitive thumb-mashing and hoping you hit the target before the target hits you. The movie line that the story tries to follow is not very intriguing.

Ultimately, the game is too difficult and bizarre for its own good.

Some people have an extreme level of devotion for the game. I do not. I like to have fun and lose myself in excitement, not tweak physics for a half-hour to get a five-second clip of what appears to be two marionettes squabbling.

The game fails to tread new water in the field. It may have been a solid title, without the Pearl Harbor title, five years ago. It is a fair arcade, third-person perspective flight sim, and nothing more.

Not even close to the exciting console versions.

The only people that this game could be recommended to, in good conscience, is the absolute beginner, or parents who want to understand their kids’ interest.

Truth be told, if you are a diehard Worms fan, there is a lot of content here: character and weapon customization, local and online multiplayer, 30 campaign and puzzle stages, and core Worms gameplay essentially untouched, just how you like it. But I've never found the franchise to be more than a gimmick repeated ad nauseum, and the lack of innovation and unwillingness to take meaningful chances with the all-too-familiar formula makes this a mediocre experience before it even starts.

With drab levels and weak controls, The Saboteur is only a shell of the console version.

The story isn’t worth a second of your time. A crappy story makes for a crappy RPG. Artistically Square Enix is on par with their top titles ("Final Fantasy," "Parasite Eve" and "Xenogears" excluded – they're still the best). But no matter what I do I can't get past the story.

Overall, there are no redeeming values to Blade Kitten. It wasn't charming, witty, well thought out or exciting.

A giant step in the wrong direction for the franchise and if you loved the original just as much as I do you should seriously avoid this one.

I didn't expect a remake, but these are some bad-looking games. I mean it – compare 'em to the games of their era and you'll discover that graphic quality has been an issue from the beginning.

Overall, there are no redeeming values to Blade Kitten. It wasn't charming, witty, well thought out or exciting.

Limited and gets old, fast. Yes, it is some great fun when you first begin (who doesn't want to scare people half to death for shock value??!!), but it gets old too quick.

I will give it one thumbs up as a FUN game to play with some really beautiful scenery (wink wink).

Motocross racing games are fun if you do it right. The lack of a good selection of different courses and motion controls made the game get boring quickly.

It's ironic that the plot of Dream Chronicles has everyone falling asleep, as that's exactly the effect this game had on me while playing it.

For it to be so repetitive, so easy, and so filled with useless interruptions – is a colossal disappointment.

In the end, lacking mission variety and ridiculously heinous AI settings keep MySims SkyHeroes grounded.

Fans of 50 Cent will find a lot to like about the loads of extra content available in Bulletproof but gamers will be disappointed by the repetitive and uninspiring action presented in this PSP game.

While not a bad children's game in the sense of being too hard or frustrating, neither is it a good game, and it won't keep anyone's attention for long.

Wall.E is another disappointment in a series of movie/game disappointments. Kids will tire after their parents have long left the room but there will still be hours left to beat game.

Ugly, unpolished and boring, Minority Report is best left on the shelf.

With very little to offer in terms of level diversity, an actual story for the game's Adventure mode and some jerky control issues, the fun just doesn't last for very long.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 is by no means a terrible game. It's an average one that stands out for its use of a gun peripheral that, by large, is the best aspect of buying the $70 bundle.

You may be the biggest Spiderwick fan in the world, but unless you’re looking for a tiring gameplay experience that’s been done a zillion times before, do not let this spider crawl into your Wii collection.

EA Sports MMA isn't as intricate as the sport it represents; it never presents itself as an arcade-like representation, so it's hard to not notice that it is a lackluster effort within the simulation genre.

Increasing the difficulty rating doesn't really make them more challenging, just more frustrating.

Fans of light-gunners won’t find all the bells and whistles in "Time Crisis 2," but they will find a game that is thankfully much longer than TC2 with just as much action.

This is a collection of games to avoid.

While the controls are pretty solid and easy to get the hang of, the game is a very boring and uninspired affair.

This one was "done" in a single day.

All the game’s faults take away from the experience of what could have been a really entertaining survival-horror game with plenty of action and scares.

A rehash of other games that did the job of melding great storytelling with original combat elements much better. This was a game which was greeted with high expectations, only to have those dashed.

While Animal Paradise’s biggest downfall is a lacking camera mechanic of any kind, other minor issues definitely plagued the game as well. The mini-games were repetitive and melancholy more than they were enjoyable.

EA Sports MMA isn't as intricate as the sport it represents; it never presents itself as an arcade-like representation, so it's hard to not notice that it is a lackluster effort within the simulation genre.

If you’re desperate for Wordmaster, well, this is the game to get. But there are so many better word games on the DS that this one is barely worth mentioning.

This October, the world will indeed experience a case of Toy Story mania when the first two films are re-released in theaters in 3D. But unless you're a collector of all things Pixar, Toy Story Mania! is not a game you'll want to own.

The game’s many shortcomings make this a game that only the hardest hardcore adventure fans will even be able to get into, and the unimpressive puzzles and lackluster storyline might even turn them away.

The under-responsive game mat and uninteresting mini-games really took away anything that was remotely good about the game. It is essentially an average game that some kids might have fun with, but that is all it is.

It is hardly a bad game by any means, but its limited appeal will only interest long-time fans of the genre or younger kids looking to experience something different.

The prized glass elevator can't even lift your spirits on this one.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with just about everything. From the mission briefing, right up through the mission debriefing where you obtain all your stats. The graphics were archaic for lack of a better word.

This is a good collection, but it's old. Not in the good, classical meaning of the word. Old as-in, repeat. It's been done before, and done well. There is no reason to have this unless you never touched the original Namco Museum.

The age appeal is very young and thus a bit limited. The game gives the impression that teens might be interested, with the High School Musical songs, but the appeal was below the interest level of a 14-year old teen girl. Still, the production values are solid and younger singers may enjoy this game.

The complete opposite of the console versions. No action. No adventuring. Bad controls, repetitive objectives, zero variety – you should skip this one and stick to the others.

Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island isn't a terrible game, but having recently completed Telltale Game's wonderful Tales of Monkey Island series it's clear Ghost Pirates is aspiring for a similar experience while falling short in nearly every aspect.

Spectral Force 3 is a throwback to older days from the genre, but feels a bit too antiquated and uninteresting to be recommendable.

Quotation forthcoming.

A very weak fighting game that has almost no depth or complexity to it, and one that nearly any gamer regardless of skill level should be able to completely finish in one night.

Catwoman's lack of challenge is disappointing, but its confusion is what covers the game in darkness. Not knowing where to go next is awful.

Winback 2: Project Poseidon seems like a game that started off with grand third-person shooter aspirations and then made a wrong turn and fell from the ranks of potentially good to merely average, at best. The storyline is predictable, and the missions bear a sameness after a bit.

The Yellow Avenger, however, doesn't even have what it takes to appease the series' most diehard fans. It's not a disaster – just a thrill-less adventure that stars one of the world's most popular cartoon characters.

Vehicular scavenger hunts, on-foot scavenger hunts, repetitive photography… How do these fit into the world of SpongeBob? Where is the great action/adventure gameplay of Battle for Bikini Bottom?

While Tiger 09 is still a mostly solid golf experience (the best on the PSP) I cannot recommend this title over previous Tiger games. This game is a significant step back in gameplay that lacks some of the most vital elements.

Great on the DS, fun on mobile phones, Atlantis Squarepantis is not a series to ignore entirely. The Wii version, however, is not the one that deserves your attention.

Even though TMNT was a huge disappointment for me I could see this being a good game for kids, but for more experienced gamers it’s just too boring and uneventful.

As basic as a first-person shooter can come. No jumping, no full-speed running and shooting, no original or interesting play mechanics that make you say, "Who needs bullets, I've got a paintball gun!"

There are literally hundreds of other titles offering a similar product to this, and apart from the publishers name featuring prominently; there would be no reason to pick this over any of the others.

Revenge of the Fallen for the PS2 is a considerably flawed game that could have been fun but just doesn’t cut it as an action game featuring the Transformers.

You won’t be hard-pressed to find a better shooter on the GBA and not buying it may send a message to developers everywhere that slapping a “name-brand” title like Terminator 3 on a game doesn’t justify underdevelopment.

While the game is successful in some areas and downright creative in others, Active Life: Outdoor Challenge is not be the most entertaining or most beneficial way to get in shape.

But the game itself is not rewarding. The game is, like so many with a license attached, little more than a rental you'll quickly forget.

Sadly, the game's poor design, uninteresting story plot and monotonous gameplay will sorely disappoint fans of the Dinotopia books and television miniseries.

The gameplay is clunky and underwhelming at best, but the story is so good that it boosts And Then There Were None out of the pits.

Unfortunately, Top Gun rarely rises above it’s recycled mission structure and repetitive dogfights that ultimately makes this a forgettable experience.

Quantum of Solace contains a number of exciting moments straight from the new 007 film but on the Nintendo Wii the controls are just far too sluggish to make this a fun alternative version.

This game just isn’t very enjoyable. Families should go with Mario Kart; while it’s more difficult, it’s also much more fun.

Plenty of Wii games have embraced a “gameplay over graphics” approach, providing a compelling gameplay experience despite looking like the bottom of a shoe. MLB 2K9 provides neither, and it doesn’t even seem to try to.

Hoo boy, the game has an issue with mouse speed while the rest of the controls can be configured to your liking the interaction of the environments is spotty and the hostages would apparently rather eat broken glass then follow their rescuer out of a burning building.

All mash and no potato, Samurai Warriors 2: Empires is a bland button-masher with a side of strategy.

The PS2 version of Mercenaries 2 is barely a fraction of the franchise Pandemic created.

I really feel bad about this being so... bad. Being able to create your own security force, guard towers, exercise yards, food and punishment areas. That should be a recipe for tons of fun. However, every critical ingredient lacked what it needs to be more than average.

Streets is about as anemic as a retail game can legally be.

The interface is barely useable, and the combat is a fairly simple affair. The graphics are weak, and though the story is interesting, you will probably not want to play through the game to see the plot go forward.

I'm completely turned off by a game that doesn't suck. The controls are solely to blame for that. They stink.

This is a product that is wholly average in design, and one that is hard to recommend. I don’t know who would benefit or be entertained by it. I advise people to wait and see what the DSi downloadable applications will offer, instead.

Even by licensed game standards, UP is surprisingly poor. The design is uninspired, but more importantly, it just isn’t fun or satisfying to play.

Link’s Crossbow training and Ghost Squad offer more in-depth gameplay and more fun for a similar price.

While extremely addictive, the lack of originality, lack of any recognizable structure, and lack of even the most cursory story line, makes this a mediocre game at best.

Plenty of cool fighting moves aren’t enough to save Dark Angel from its repetitious and boring cycle of fights and unoriginal design.

A repetitive and flawed experience from start to finish, SWAT: Target Liberty is a disappointing tactical strategy shooter that just doesn’t quite have what it takes to be a fun game.

Be prepared for many yawns and questions of, “What better is there to do with my time?”
