A light and enjoyable game. It looks good and designers have done the best they could to make it a user-friendly experience.

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.

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.

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.

The detail on these racing vehicles is breathtaking to say the least.

What could have been a nice game for LOTR fans instead became a lesson in frustration because of the bugs.

Unfortunately, the camera and control issues may give players a headache and some annoyance, so it really comes down to whether or not you can overlook the problems and put up with some aggravation in order to see a fun game underneath.

If you really feel you need to play a game in the irradiated future then find a copy of "Fallout" 1 or 2 on eBay and you'll be golden.

The ideal rental game. It’s short and simple, there’s almost no replay value, yet it’s still fun for a certain amount of time.

It doesn’t matter how many times you play the game, every character you encounter seems to say the same thing.

Wing Commander Arena should only be downloaded by spaceship nuts that need to play every sci-fi game. Otherwise, you may want to pass on it.

A niche of WWII naval sim gamers will find this game simply awesome. Where the game lacks in eye candy, more than makes up in strategy re-playability, and realism.

Even diehard Shinobi fans won’t derive a great deal of entertainment from this one. It hurts to say it, but Shinobi truly has fallen from grace.

From the controls to the tracks, MX World Tour is a very barebones and plain presentation of the world of motocross racing.

While the use of the control scheme is innovative, X-Men: The Official Game is a pretty uninteresting experience.

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 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.

This game is too linear. You can’t stray off the patch and the fixed camera teases with a look at a delightfully rendered world, then locks you from at least seeing it from a panoramic perspective.

Stolen could've been a good game, but the inept AI and poor controls make this game more of a chore than a fun experience.

X-Blades is one of those games that I really wanted to like, but while it’s average entertainment, it really does nothing to move it to the next level.

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

Each level just feels like the last level.

Once the game gets past the simple early stages the fast-paced action can be very hard to follow. Combining the different colored bubbles never seemed to work right and I was always running into enemies when I thought I hit them with a bubble.

A wholly average game that young kids will enjoy for a short time, but there’s really nothing much here for anyone else.

This is a niche game that might appeal to fans of the sport but will leave others feeling very underwhelmed.

This is a classic case of style over substance. If you know a young DS owner who shops at Hot Topic, they’d probably get a kick out of the story and art – but don’t expect the subpar gameplay to turn them into an RPG fan.

The design flaws detract from the game, and there isn’t enough variety to make the annoying features worth overlooking.

The camera problems and unavoidable monster grind prevent X-Blades from reaching its full potential. But if you're willing to endure its problems (or fit into the "clueless gamer" group described above), X-Blades is worth a try.
