Bloody Good Time tries to pour too much formula into a limited cup, causing overflow and mayhem – and not the good kind. Avoid this Bloody mess.

Sadly, graphics alone can't overshadow Lost Planet 2's abysmal controls or cliched plot, and competitive multiplayer won't tear you away from multiplayer juggernauts such as Call of Duty or Battlefield.

Commander in Chief tries to give you a feeling of running a world power, but instead feels like a lame duck presidency.

ATV Quad Kings was a missed opportunity. Being a huge fan of games like PURE and MX vs. ATV Reflex, I was hoping for a similarly-styled game on the go, but in the end was sadly disappointed.

Whatever the reason of my blind faith in the Japanese market, WarTech let me down and it’s an utter shame.

Superman Returns shares Spider-Man's flaw of repetitive combat, but it has several mistakes that stand alone: a jerky, unreliable camera; boring mission objectives; and graphics that sit well below the standards of the first Xbox.

We can only recommend Battle of Giants: Dinosaurs Strike to kids or those of you who can't live without dino fighting. The simplistic fighting and sporadic options probably won't bother you guys that much at all. Everyone else, though, should probably track down a Primal Rage machine at their local arcade. You can thank us later.

This is Quotix Software’s first venture into this genre of gaming, and while some interesting ideas are at work in CfH, its problematic gameplay and shallow story eclipse its potential, resulting in a budget title that is far more frustrating than fun.

A mediocre game that fails to deliver anything positive. The only praise I can give is the absence of annoyances like frustrating gameplay and too hard a difficulty level for children.

This game really is an insult to one of the most beautiful animated movies ever made. While a few of the games are fun to play for a minute, or to try out, never would I recommend a purchase of this game - even to the most hardcore Brad Bird fans.

One sloppy action platform game that really doesn’t do the Man Without Fear any justice.

Unoriginality is acceptable every now and then if the gameplay is as good as the title that "inspired" it. However, Hoops not only copies other games, but it plays slower then them, too.

Aside from the iffy framerate issues and the super bad video that would feel right at home in the 1990s, Target: Terror is one of those quirky novelties that are somehow way too much fun to pass up.

With numerous problems that work against the gameplay, poorly designed game modes don’t make this simulator fun or interesting even for gamers who love the sport. Sorry, this one just isn’t good enough to recommend.

Ninja Storm has some good graphics, but the rest of the game falls up short due to redundancy and boring level design.

Top Spin 3's hardcore AI is on par with the console versions, but the overall package isn't nearly as fun.

This game is not any fun at all to play. The visual theme of the parks is about the only positive feature, which is a good reflection of the essence of the books. But, graphics do not a game make. Parents should avoid this game.

A fighting game that had all the makings of a truly stellar fighter but with so many flaws it manages to knock itself out before the fight even ends.

Frustrating. The game does have a lot of challenging hurdles and yet the gameplay is not that compelling to keep the interest level up. It’s not certain what the developers were aiming for with this title, but the game just falls short in many areas.

Everything you hated about the last game makes its return in "Backyard Wrestling 2."

Shaun White Skateboarding has the star-power, the kicking soundtrack, and the colorful world of grafitti-covered ramps, but nothing close to the attitude of real skateboarding. It's more interested in letting players fly through the air on magical rails than experience the joy of finally nailing a tough gap.

Like an alarm clock in reverse, Road Trip is the game you play when you want to go to sleep.

While Majesty 2: Monster Kingdom doesn't reinvent any part of the gameplay, the change of scenery and units is appreciated, but in the end you're still playing the same exact game with a new coat of paint. The unrelenting difficulty, arguably even higher than the last expansion's, makes this entry for Majesty die-hards only.

Definitely geared for younger gamers, but it really lacks polish so it might frustrate them as well.

Ultimately, every other wrestling game on the market surpasses this game.

MicroBot had potential to be an inspiring and intellectual shooter. Instead, it relegates itself to falling into becoming a substandard shooter that couldn't deliver on its promises outside of wonderful looking environments.

Young gamers will rarely be challenged by Wild Earth: African Safari and, while there are some interesting lessons to learn, the repetitive gameplay make this a game they will only want to play once.

This game should actually get two separate ratings -- because it really is unplayable right now (a 1), but with the bugs fixed I think it will be a 10.

It's sparse moments of truly enjoyable fisticuffs just come too late in a game that tries too hard to be cool.

It's clunky, repetitive, and looks like it was designed for platforms of the previous generation. If you really want to experience this sort of thing without getting yourself killed, you're still better off with the TV show.

It's not hard, and it's not very long, but the tiresome gameplay makes it hard to tell at times.

It's not every day that a survival/horror game is released without using any scare tactics. Maybe that wasn't their purpose. But this game has Resident Evil-style gameplay and a spooky soundtrack. What could they have possibly been trying to achieve?

Not what I had hoped for in the least. The idea is solid, the implementation is lacking.

It’s not a game you look forward to visiting, it’s a job.

Too many things were left out, like bigger levels, damage modeling, better textures, etc. The driving engine is great, and it’s a breeze to get used to the controls, but all the other factors drug it down.

Repetitive action, awful controls and so-so graphics keep the game from being a fun action game based on a really great movie and action hero.

As a collection, there is something for everyone – up to a certain point. It’s a time-killer, for certain. But don’t expect it to make an entire car trip’s worth of time go by in a flash.

The Beginning of Destiny had all the makings of a wonderful Yu-Gi-Oh! GX title but its dull single-player story and little interaction with the world make this a boring and repetitive game.

It is absolutely perfect for the iPhone and other touchscreen devices, but loses a little something when played with a mouse, and for more than a few minutes at a time.

Charlie and the Boring Factory. It's hard to make a fun game based around these kinds of properties, but that doesn't justify bad gameplay, or a lack thereof.

The disappointing gameplay, unintuitive controls, and the lackluster bike building system make it impossible to enjoy at any price point.

If you love The Hulk franchise, as well as destroying environments in Hulk-like fashion, then The Incredible Hulk is worth checking out. The short replay value should cause any gamer to question purchasing this game though.

A pretty dull game that can border on frustrating due to the clunky controls, lame missions and weak AI.

Hugely disappointing for fans of the solid FIFA 10 on the Wii, we say stick to that or pick up a much more entertaining 360/PS3 version instead.

Coded Arms's clunky controls that are anything but inviting. I had no desire to return to this game after playing it for a measly 60 minutes. None!

Inferno for the PS3 might have fixed a few of the problems that plagued the Xbox 360 release of Alone in the Dark but, sadly, it’s not enough to make this a completely better version of the game.

The game feels like it exhausted all its ideas and is recycling the weakest missions from past games. In other words, Path of the Furon is a lackluster game with not much to offer those who enjoyed Crypto’s earlier adventures.

Stunt GP should have been called Snail GP because the cars move so slow. I don't care if they're supposed to be radio-controlled vehicles or not -- this is a video game, and developers are supposed to take advantage of this virtual world and create fun and entertaining games.

There’s a reason why we have the PlayStation Store. It’s for games like this that might contain some value but aren’t appropriate for a full $40 - $60 disc or bundle.

Alas, Secret Missions fails to be that glorious Civil War first-person shooter that not only gives gamers a good glimpse of what the tragic war was about but also experience the secretive side to famous confrontations during that period. With too many problems holding it back, those gamers with an eye towards history should simply consider renting this one instead.

A wholly average racing game. Besides the character of Herbie and Lindsey Lohan, there's not much going for this game.

The game had some good ideas but fell short on the execution.

The gameplay really doesn't dazzle, and with several other fantastic FPS games out there, it's a wonder the developers let this one go in this condition. Vietcong: Purple Haze is flat as a board.

Due to the limiting nature of the EyePet, it's hard to recommend to anyone without the capacity to sit in one place and play their PSP at countertop.

Hardcore fans will probably enjoy it. Everyone else? Hold off a while, this game should be in the bargain bin very soon.

With a lack of polish and an unfinished feel, chalk this one up to an experience that could’ve been a great one, but definitely isn’t.

This edition of Stronghold Crusaders is one of those games that leaves us to wonder, what were they thinking?

I expected the same level of quality from Spyro's new beginning – the game that would reinvent the series. But all we got was a rehash – a mistake I hope does not lead to the series' retirement.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is utterly depressing. I wouldn’t mind, if there seemed to be a reasonable, unified theme. I want to love it for the beautiful world and frightening ghosts within, but beauty can only overcome absolute boredom for so long.

The technical departments, the visuals and audio, bring this ship down before it even left the port.

This is one of those games you’ll look forward to, have a brief amount of fun with, and then wonder what went wrong.

The vehicles aren't the only thing with a mind of their own. The camera is worse.

A tentative little game without much depth.

Extremely derivative and half-baked, El Matador fails to bring anything new to the table.

Too many flaws to make it worth while.

Any fan of the genre has already been here and done this before — probably 2-3 years ago. While the visual and aural facets of YAE are generally solid, its gameplay is not all that entertaining, and there are plenty of other titles in the genre that can offer a more entertaining and diversified gaming experience.

It's not a horrible game. It won't induce sleep. The problem is that this isn't really a game! Just because a person controls on-screen actions with a controller does not give a piece of interactive software the right to be called a game.

HAWX 2 feels like it was sugar-coated and mass-produced for a crowd on the Wii that was too young the play the "real" version. If this is the sort of treatment planned for future Clancy games, I would humbly suggest that the publishers reconsider their options.

Rarely making you feel like you accomplished very much or gained a deeper insight in how well your right brain potential is measured, Mega Brain Boost lacks all the interesting tools that Brain Age possesses.

The list of technical issues plagued the title right from the on-start and continued until the ugly ending. Whether it was one enemy mysteriously multiplying into three enemies before my eyes (maybe he was Marvel's Multiple Man?) or enemies running in circles around platforms for no good reason besides chasing their own tail, Alpha Protocol is a good lesson of how not to create a video game.

Many handheld games do justice to their console counterparts. The PSP version of MX Vs. ATV Untamed isn’t one of them.

This is a game that could have been much more. The game’s linearity really hampers immersion, and there are some odd animation elements that also distract from the game.

Thanks to the poor controls and the fact that the levels seem to drag on forever, Flight of the Falcon just feels like a very forced and flawed experienced from the very start.

The slight interface changes and the ability to play as the internal factions does mix things up a bit, but once the novelty of reigning over the Orient wears off, you'll wish Paradox would start working on the next entry in the series, rather than another underwhelming expansion pack.

The Force Unleashed II is, more than anything, disappointing.

It’s not revolutionary, nor is it total garbage, but it is hard.

Anyone who thoroughly enjoyed "Yoshi’s Touch & Go" will find Rainbow Islands Revolution to be a worthy title in the vein of that game. The rest of us are left with an island that’s a little too monotonous to hold our interest.

Its creative "evil mastermind" plans are undone by dull pacing, too smart AI and enormous maps. Don't be fooled. R.U.S.E. has some good ideas under its hood, but it's overrun by smart AI and bad battle pacing.

The problem with games like Mr. Bill is that it's not necessarily a bad title, it's just that there are so many better ways iPhone users could be spending their time.

Families seeking their next Wii-Sports fix will have some fun with this $30 budget title, but it hardly has the same polish of Nintendo's groundbreaking title.

The gameplay is a lot of fun-despite the slower pace-and the combination of online and off-line options will keep you busy throughout the season.

Animations and the Tackle Alley mini-game aside, Backbreaker doesn't have much to offer fans of the sport. It's worth a rental, if only to see what other developers can do with the genre.

Even at a budget price, I can’t recommend the title to fans of squad-based shooters, due to its gets-old-quick, limited gameplay and lifeless multiplayer. This one’s a no go.

A bland and lifeless action game with an unfinished graphics engine, Bullet Witch really isn’t worth your time.

For those old school gamers who had a fondness for the classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Monster Madness will disappoint in almost every level. It’s a game that borders on fun but just doesn’t quite make the right impression with its repetitive action, framerate problems and barely there story.

A repetitive action game with very little substance and absolutely no style despite the fact that the Predator warrior is represented well in the game.

There’s a game somewhere among the bugs and glitches that make up Hour of Victory for the Xbox 360 but you’ll never find it seeing as the entire experience feels broken and rushed.

The sluggish controls and slow-as-molasses gameplay act as a virus that kills off any excitement this game could have had. Missions are boring and extremely repetitive.

Cars Mater-National plays like one of those “me-too!” games that follow the release of huge hits. Me-too games don’t usually come in the same series; I would have expected to see this happen with a knock-off game called Trucks, SUVs, or Crossover. But not the sequel to Cars.

Even kids who love things Power Ranger will bore quickly. I can honestly say that this is one of the worst games I have ever played, and I have played some stinkers.

Fans might be able to eke some pleasure from this game despite the overwhelming flaws. Anyone else likely won’t be able to see past the repetitive, irritating gameplay, frustrating camera, and broken controls.

Extremely awful controls.

It’s not going to be an award winner, and it might not stay in your heart or mind for too long, but it is a fresh new game for the DS.

Drive, crash, mini-game, repeat. Pimp My Ride is a licensed game for die-hard fans.

Cars is an incredibly boring, sometimes frustrating, waste of a good DS cartridge. Do your kid a favor and buy them Mario Kart DS instead. They may scream and holler a bit, but after they compare it to their friend’s copy of Cars they will thank you.

"Sigh" The game missed so many opportunities, I think the Wii version is the way to go, but only if you are a die-hard fan.

Underground Pool could have been a fun portable billiards experience for your Nintendo DS but limited touch screen action, unintelligent opponent AI and poor controls make this one a game you should skip.

I wanted to like this game, but it just wouldn't let me. First it was not diverse enough. Then it started repeating questions prematurely. Then it crashed and displayed a C++ error. Ouch. Good for a few laughs if your friends are as fun as mine, but that's about it.
