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.

A shoddy game that could have been something. This game has a very rushed feeling to it. The controls are not perfected, the aiming is way off, the AI is a push over, and the mission structure is laughable.

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.

Nostalgia-seeking gamers may be tempted by Soldiers of Misfortune, if only to relive the good-old days of Army Men gaming. But those days can only be relived by playing the original Army Men; this newfangled (and disappointingly mangled) sequel does not deliver.

Reminds me of a budget minded "Dungeon Siege," a game I liked very much. It lacks the depth and the beauty DS has but remember it only has a MSRP of about 20 bucks. It also lacks any MP capability so everything will be solo or using AI companions.

Even on the Nintendo Wii the game just doesn’t possess the true essence of what makes a good boxing game work on the Wii. Do yourself a favor, boxing fans, and stay away from this one.

The History Channel implementation, level setup and graphic selections are A+ choices; it’s the execution that tanks the experience.

A decent game with a good amount of options and some challenges, but this is an arcade racer at heart with little consequences for extreme handling, other than sliding off the course and slowing down.

This game is not very realistic and tries to combine arcade elements with a solid FPS backdrop and what happens is that this game looks contrived and stilted...This is a game to avoid.

It’s simple, really. King of Clubs just isn’t any fun to play, and in an industry obsessed with making money at the consumers’ expense and developing safe-bet hit software, developers would do well to take note: video games should be fun.

The Nintendo DS is certainly more than capable of bringing flight combat fans a game worthy of the genre but F24 Stealth Fighter is a shining example of how bad implementation could turn a great idea into a badly designed game.

This game is fun until you try to move. Rent the movie folks. It’s scarier, and shorter.

This is by far one of the most disappointing and seemingly unfinished games that I have ever played in my entire life.

Your kids may love M&M's, but there is no chance they will derive anything from this game but the urge to quit and play something else.

This game will teach you how to lay off the throttle to effectively negotiate challenging courses.

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.

Despite the lower scores in graphics and sound, Industry Giant is a good simulation game. There are many interesting and challenging aspects that are presented.

It’s just too hard for its target audience, and the theme and storyline probably won’t interest older players.

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.

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.

This game has no variety and is just boring to play.

Cool elements that the game does possess are completely overshadowed by the glaring gameplay issues and non-existent audio.

Kick-Ass has adequate character models and the prerequisite references to the source material, but bears none of the enthusiasm of its namesake. Just when you think that movie-based games are finally making some headway, a game like Kick-Ass comes along to obliterate that notion and to show you how low some people will sink to make a buck.

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.

While it’s not the worst Superman game ever made, it’s still not anything any sane person would want to play. If you need a Superman fix, go rent the DVD instead.

Between an utter lack of interesting activities, ridiculously slow pace, and frequent technical problems, AniMates is one to avoid.

It is just too boring, too simple, and too easy for even the young target audience.

The 15 mini-games that support the entire game are good the first time you play them, but will get more taxing as you continue to play them over and over.

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.

The game is a repetitive button masher that requires a shade more intelligence than a potted fern to operate, and players can expect to just keep going through the same thing over and over again screen after screen, level after level, with a few new weapon upgrades that really won’t add any excitement. The collision detection is horrible, and the game loses any fun value after about the first 15 minutes.

An unimaginative racing game with no real worthwhile moments, Dragon Booster is just one of those titles that are hardly worth a glance for any Nintendo DS owner.

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.

The gameplay, the one thing that stood out most about the Mortal Kombat series, is flawed. I played with all of my favorites -- both Sub-Zeros, Kabal, Cyrax, Ermac, Sindel and Scorpion. Of those seven characters, six of them did not function properly at all.

No tutorial, no use of the sixaxis, wingmen that would just as soon walk into a wall as fight, things are looking pretty bleak. Melee combat with weapons is impossible to work.

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.

The controls are so weak that I am having a tough time deciding which is more aggravating: controlling Bruce Lee, or non-stop clipping. Either way, you'll be disgruntled by this game's lack of an intuitive control system.

Easily one of the worst FPS I have ever played, and the fact that the game is so short is a second slap in the face. The first is making you feel like you were getting a game that would put hair on your chest.

If you were stranded on a desert island and could have either a container of Silly Putty or a PlayStation 2, a monitor and Celebrity Deathmatch, you'd be better off choosing the putty.

Women's Volleyball Championship gets a 1.9 for (1) not crashing, (2) loading properly, and (3) having a frame rate that was, while far from praiseworthy, tolerable. Sort of.

There’s very little here to challenge a first grader and the memory games are just way too insulting. Brain Age still the intelligent choice so avoid this one at all costs.

The single player game was frustrating. Multiplayer ran slow at times, but was much more enjoyable.

An interesting novelty, Jenga World Tour isn’t the casual market-appeasing game it needs to be to succeed. While oddball gamers like myself may find temporary amusement, the rest of the world will likely stick to the real Jenga game.

You can learn as you go, but this game is too simple and may have been an enjoyable experience if there was online support with tournaments and fees for entering them, with substantial rewards. As a single-player game, it is too simple and too limited.

The game isn’t very long, and it doesn’t have the great, highly responsive controls of the original Dave Mirra. But if you want low-cost excitement with a lot of replay value, and if you want something to play after finishing "Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam," BMX Challenge is worth a look.

Pool Party, though, with its obfuscated control scheme, obscuring camera angles, and generally unfriendly interface, leaves a lot to be desired.

A must-have for any fan of the show. It is amusing and entertaining.

While it does a nice job graphically, elements such as the soundtrack and limiting gameplay may limit its success.

Not worth the time of you or your child.

If you’re only looking for an Ultimate or Disc Golf game that provides the bare minimum of gameplay possibilities and graphics, then this is your game. For the rest of us we still need the whole enchilada, beans and rice.

The gameplay is boring, the puzzles are so-so, the story is non-existent and the humor is bad.

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.

I can only beat a game up so much, after reviewing it, I gave it to my niece and she looked at me like I had just ran over her dog.

The shooting reticule isn’t responsive enough for quick-draw events and oftentimes the video clips jump enough that you’ll miss your shot. On the plus side, the undertakers in this game are a hoot.

The best aspect of Fighters Uncaged is that it can now be used as a blueprint for a book on "How Not to Create a Kinect Game". Avoid Fighter's Uncaged; it'll only aggravate and show you the downsides of motion-controlled video games.

The game's fighting mechanics are not only stiff but they are also completely devoid of anything that comes close to fun.

This should only be attracting to the fans of the television series that devote every Saturday morning to watching the show.

Fans of the series will no doubt be disappointed with the lousy gameplay and short and shallow presentation.

Mastering some of the techniques will present a real challenge and the story line and characters are cute and appealing.

This is absolutely one of the worst games I have ever played and certainly the worst use of a commercial license. Under no circumstances should you even consider spending any money on this title.

Too repetitive to be interesting.

There could have been a lot of innovative aspects, but in the end, it’s too repetitive. With not challenging the gamers, Jumper’s only redeeming factor is the easy-to-earn achievement points.

Five mini-games aside, there’s no real gameplay value here.

After having hernia surgery, a friend (seeing how much pain I was in) turned to me and said, “It could always be worse.” Remember that while playing Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash. It could always be worse.

A very disappointing game from start to finish, Rogue Warrior is a game that brings nothing new to the genre nor does it make for a fun first-person shooter worth the money. Simply put, this isn’t just an awful shooter but it’s also a terrible game.

Released 20 years too late, Harlem Globetrotters is a bore and a technological mess.

A very short, mindless fighter with boring multiplayer and not even a minute of replay value.

As a Virtual Console release or a tech demo for a bigger project, Chicken Shoot might’ve been iffy – possibly Ok, if it were a buck or two. But as a full title on a Wii disc, it can barely compete with games released 10 years ago, let alone what we have today.

While keyboard controls were decent, playing with a gamepad was unbearable in race modes. There are four different arenas to race or crash in, and some neat ideas like massacre and arena, but overall the repetitive gameplay and annoying collision detection quickly got dull.

I love the show as does the little Bearer, but the characters are just not enough to overcome the repetitive, flawed gameplay.

Though a decent idea on paper, Stake has poor controls, pathetic graphics, a terrible camera, and sound that even makes your custom soundtracks seem lame. The entire package just seems like it needs a lot more work.

I felt bad cause I beat the game up so badly, but then I played it again, and now I don't feel so bad.

Young players and monster truck fans may find Collision Course a mildly enjoyable, if seriously flawed, racing romp, but most should pass on this pedestrian racer.

The setting for a really interesting adventure is present and the hero has a really nifty aquatic gift, but the end result is disastrous thanks to poor execution and a weak story with no real payoff.

Instead of endless hours of fun as I had anticipated, I was rewarded with pain and frustration from a game that really has no great strongpoint to offset its' weaknesses.

“Broken” is the only fitting adjective here.

While the game has “style,” it is pretty much broken.

I have seen NES games that look better than this game.

Stay away from this one at all costs.

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.

For the high price mark of $15 you're just not getting enough. The gameplay is good when played correctly, but that same lack of lenience in play style is also a deficiency. Most players will not be able to find enough value to make it worth their purchase.

One of the worst games I have ever played. The gameplay is a total nightmare, there’s no music, and the objectives are redundant.

Everything about it feels like a rushed production and in the end this is what finally brings it down.

Legends of Wrestling II's graphics look like they were created by a five-year-old.

The developers clearly are just trying to make a buck by putting out this version and I'm fairly certain some of them are embarrassed by the end product.

Unfortunately this game is nowhere near the league of the movie, it is down right awful...Do not buy this game at any costs.

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

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."

You get what you pay for here; it's a bargain-priced game that has some small tidbit of fun if played in short bursts. Otherwise it's an exercise in repetition and mindless button mashing.

This is officially the lowest scored game in my entire career of reviewing games; the good news is that no matter what I review next, it can't be any worse.

It's subtle, yet dynamic.

With horrid AI, lousy visuals, and boring level design, Navy Seals: Weapons of Mass Destruction is one budget title best left on the shelf.

Hit this one with a steel chair before throwing it out of the ring.

Not for the casual game player who wants to jump in, develop and then walk away. This game requires you to roll up your sleeves and get down to some serious micro managing.

The graphics and the sound both are very good. A very different interface system makes it fairly easy to move from one area to the next. The game actually has a great amount of depth to it and the "town" is quite large.

If you didn't get GB the first time around go pick it up and play it loud.

This is a game that requires patience, preparation and persistence. Combine those three qualities for a successful hunt in a visually compelling game.

This is a wonderful program that will challenge players to use their brains in ways that involve both logic and creativity.

The linear nature of the game is a bit of a drawback, cutting down on replayability, but the game looks good and plays very well.
