In the end, Kinect Joy Ride needed to take more chances in order to stand out from the racing crowd, and perhaps even offer controller support for those who aren't feeling the power of Microsoft's motion device.

Gamers will quickly grow tiresome of the same challenges and back-and-forth monotony.

Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam has its moments of mech smashing fun but they are just fleeting moments ruined by its flawed design.

SACRED 2: Fallen Angel is mostly a level grind that will appeal to hardcore Diablo fans jonesing for another dungeon crawler fix. The Xbox 360 version is a bit of a disappointment, due to a fair share of bugs and port issues.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is marred by an awkward control system that requires constant micro management of multiple targets, and an annoying way of layering the map so that buildings disappear and reappear all the time.

There are more flaws in JMSW than there are good gameplay mechanics. Although the odds were against it, JMSW turned out to be an above-average game.

There is fun in this title, but it isn't anything you can stand to sit down and play for a couple of hours. You just get too frustrated with the A.I.'s ability to get better hands and the long tournaments that take too much time to complete.

Although it was mostly a bore, the combat was ‘stupid’ enough for two players to take pleasure from watching the train-wreck.

A poorly translated movie-to-game title that offers very little in challenging levels and what little fun there is here is not nearly enough.

"NBA Street" with different moves and more ballers, minus the polished gameplay. The analog stick's heightened sensitivity is not as innovative as it is a refinement.

If you like to tear done the rudimentary elements of a vehicle and then build it back up with new parts, all under a budget, you may find some diversion in this title. However, the time spent unscrewing bolts is disproportionately large compared to the time testing your creation.

I would ultimately recommend this for either someone who has played the card game before or someone who has a lot of time to go through and write down or memorize the card combos and fusion results, since everything is trial and error.

Heatseeker is a mediocre, action-filled romp in the sky that is over quickly and is enjoyable only in short bursts.

While World Series of Poker offers some solid AI and nice multiplayer support, it ultimately can't play with the big dogs.

What The Incredible Hulk for the PS3 does do is prove that, once again, most movie tie-in games are rushed products that lack creativity and fun.

Capcom would do well to treat its faithful with the respect we deserve. In the end, it’s best to object and hope the judges that be serve up a better port of the Phoenix Wright series.

MySims Kingdom doesn’t do anything objectionably wrong, but neither does it provide any new hook compelling enough to justify a $30 purchase.

Kids will tire quickly of this game, as there just isn't much to do except wander around from ledge to ledge, turning statues into people.

The gameplay in Twin Strike is actually one of its better features. Although sometimes Twin Strike seems to be somewhat repetitive and boring and the controls aren’t that great, you will have at least a little fun with it.

Gameplay is not terribly exciting, playing this sim in real time can be extremely tedious, the pace is slow, deliberate, and tense.

An average animal simulation game at a budget price. Worth a look if one loves African animals, but players wanting deeper strategy in their simulations may want to pass.

Lack of game speed control, poor pathfinding and AI, and other problems put Dark Reign 2 at the lower end of the scale for RTS games.

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes doesn't stray far from the traditions of the genre, and is little more than the same old hack-and-slashing with new characters. Even so, I can't deny the short-lived joy of clearing out entire armies with a single character, juggling twenty men as my swords cut explosive streaks through the air, and watching the combo-counter rise with maniacal speed.

The gory limb removals and impalements-via-javelin are cheap fun that will treat anyone with the patience to tangle with some sluggish controls and simple combo moves.

While this is one of the best-looking games we've seen and the combat, in and of itself, is designed well enough, the gameplay just isn't any fun after the first hour of play. If it isn't very fun, it isn't very good.

For the modern nature lover, this might be one of the easiest (and safest) ways to get in touch with your wild side. At least if "wild" means "solving anagrams on your gaming console."

An absolute disappointment when compared to the expectations that are attached to DLC packs that are this expensive. Kasumi – Stolen Memory needed to be longer and provide more back-story to the troubled thief.

Only die-hard war fans will find small satisfaction from playing this title, and you might as well just rent it.
