Dune features an especially awkward control system requiring you to switch between overly complicated keyboard controls and overly simplified mouse functions.

Some of the individual aspects of the game need to be reworked simply because they seem forced. The game strives to attain a lofty place, but comes up a little short.

Specifically for Evil Dead fans. Aside from Ash, the game doesn’t have a lot to offer hardcore gamers.

This is just warmed-over soup in a gaming world that's serving up filet mignon and lobster.

Blazing Angels on the Wii might have an interesting control scheme but it doesn’t make up for the lackluster campaign mode or the barely-there multiplayer mode.

With so many military FPS types available I just have a hard time recommending this title simply because you have to pay a monthly fee to enjoy benefits that in some cases are still not available.

The gameplay is not involving, and most players will not finish this game, as there simply isn't any incentive or payoff to do so.

While I can understand the developers change up the formula to adjust to a new platform with its own unique features, the execution of this is something less the desired.

Fast Food Panic will likely appeal more to young players than real cooks, as the skills aren’t terribly authentic and the gameplay is far too repetitive. At best, it is a short-term diversion for casual party game lovers.

The annoying camera, easy to solve puzzles, and not exploiting the droid enough really knocked down the score here.

A total disappointment, as it does not live up to its prestigious heritage that other Tetris games had.

NBA: Ballers: Chosen One has all the right stars but when it comes to the game, it lacks the stylish action that made this series such a blast to play.

The $30 price tag isn’t too bad for gamers craving the latest in motion control. But without a real campaign to jump into, We Ski feels like a collection of random, unrewarding races and mini-games.

The graphics will not sate the eye-candy hungry PS2 player, the plot is not particularly compelling and with the frequency of the load times and frequent (and repetitive) random battles, progress may be considered by some to be unforgivably tedious and slow.

Linear gameplay, long loads and some crashes did nothing to endear this game to the shooter’s heart.

The most frustrating part of the game is the slow acceleration of the trucks, which as we all know is realistic, but something about barely moving just isn't too fun.

Takes a good idea and executes it in a mediocre way.

Fun for a while but lacking in replay value, Luxor is a good puzzler that doesn’t last.

Had it been taken as seriously as other racers on the market, NASCAR 2011 could have been a very solid title.

JU-ON: The Grudge’s ‘Haunted House Simulator’ concept is a good one, but the execution is lacking. Poor controls and overly simplistic gameplay sink what could have been a very good (and very unique) horror game.

Sometimes the trips down memory lane are better off left as memories.

NHL2K11 gets props for taking advantage of the Wii's bigger bullet points, like Wii Speak and MotionPlus, and for giving the series some focus by being exclusive to one console. However, there are some control issues and laggy online play that truly prevent the game from achieving hockey greatness.

Fun and frustrating while it lasts.

But don't let the "new" content have anything to do with your desire to purchase the game. For that alone, the price tag is much too high.

The entire control scheme hampers any fun that this game would have been, and is very disappointing!

Plagued by sound that's not so good and a very challenging difficulty level, this isn't quite one we'd expect to wear the Ferrari name.

If, like me, you have warm fuzzy memories of the glory days of LucasArts, Revolution and AdventureSoft, you'll enjoy The Whispered World. And I did. But there are simply too many shortcomings here to give this game a hearty recommendation. Muted praise, then, for a whispered world.

R-Type doesn't have much longevity going for it – no online leaderboards, no bonus levels, no R-Type II – but considering its two dollar price tag, you could buy worse for your Apple device.
