Unfortunately, Top Gun rarely rises above it’s recycled mission structure and repetitive dogfights that ultimately makes this a forgettable experience.

Quantum of Solace contains a number of exciting moments straight from the new 007 film but on the Nintendo Wii the controls are just far too sluggish to make this a fun alternative version.

This game just isn’t very enjoyable. Families should go with Mario Kart; while it’s more difficult, it’s also much more fun.

Plenty of Wii games have embraced a “gameplay over graphics” approach, providing a compelling gameplay experience despite looking like the bottom of a shoe. MLB 2K9 provides neither, and it doesn’t even seem to try to.

Hoo boy, the game has an issue with mouse speed while the rest of the controls can be configured to your liking the interaction of the environments is spotty and the hostages would apparently rather eat broken glass then follow their rescuer out of a burning building.

All mash and no potato, Samurai Warriors 2: Empires is a bland button-masher with a side of strategy.

The PS2 version of Mercenaries 2 is barely a fraction of the franchise Pandemic created.

I really feel bad about this being so... bad. Being able to create your own security force, guard towers, exercise yards, food and punishment areas. That should be a recipe for tons of fun. However, every critical ingredient lacked what it needs to be more than average.

Streets is about as anemic as a retail game can legally be.

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.

I'm completely turned off by a game that doesn't suck. The controls are solely to blame for that. They stink.

This is a product that is wholly average in design, and one that is hard to recommend. I don’t know who would benefit or be entertained by it. I advise people to wait and see what the DSi downloadable applications will offer, instead.

Even by licensed game standards, UP is surprisingly poor. The design is uninspired, but more importantly, it just isn’t fun or satisfying to play.

Link’s Crossbow training and Ghost Squad offer more in-depth gameplay and more fun for a similar price.

While extremely addictive, the lack of originality, lack of any recognizable structure, and lack of even the most cursory story line, makes this a mediocre game at best.

Plenty of cool fighting moves aren’t enough to save Dark Angel from its repetitious and boring cycle of fights and unoriginal design.

A repetitive and flawed experience from start to finish, SWAT: Target Liberty is a disappointing tactical strategy shooter that just doesn’t quite have what it takes to be a fun game.

Be prepared for many yawns and questions of, “What better is there to do with my time?”

Like a starving man at a buffet, Arc Rise Fantasia has a little of everything on its plate, but few of the portions ever complement the other.

Another weak attempt to cash in on an upcoming film, Eragon will likely disappoint fans of the book and the upcoming film.

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.
