    Super Monkey Ball 3D
    Overall, there's just not enough content in Super Monkey Ball 3D to justify the purchase. The only mode worth playing is Monkey Ball, and although it is fun, it doesn't last very long. Both the 3D effect and motion sensor controls work great, but they can't be used at the same time. And no online functionality really strips the game of any prolonged use. Unless you're a Super Monkey Ball fanatic, this one's a pass.

    Battle of the Bands
    There are better rhythm games out there, and without any real meat to it, Battle of the Bands feels like it has lost this one.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D
    In the end, Splinter Cell 3D just feels like a lazy port.

    Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy
    In all, this game is one for the younger and loyal crowd of Nancy Drew followers; all others can take a pass.

    Vancouver 2010 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games
    Vancouver 2010 is not a horrible game by any means, it's just the sum of the parts add together to present a lessen than desirable package.

    Viva Pinata: Party Animals
    While it shines with striking décor and beautiful backdrops, Party Animals fails at engaging its audience and providing a solid game experience.

    Emergency 3
    It’s an innovative title based on a unique premise. Where it falls short is in a few key elements, the rigid gameplay structure, dumb artificial intelligence, overly challenging missions, and poorly implemented control scheme all greatly detract from the overall enjoyment factor.

    Crackdown 2
    If you really have the urge to play a game like this, go buy the original Crackdown. It'd be much cheaper. You've already beaten the first one, you say? Well guess what - you've pretty much already beaten this one too.

    Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave
    There’s just not a lot to this game. An incredibly short playthrough and lack of any stimulating thought don’t make it really worthy for purchase, even for a budget title.

    Pacific Storm
    There’s some solid strategy tucked behind the overpowering interface and lackluster graphics, but a few serious errors, clunky controls, and some really poor audio in the form of bad music and repetitive speech make Pacific Storm a frustrating experience overall.

    Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express (2006)
    The game’s not terrible, but a poor example of what a novel adaptation could be, and so might only be enjoyed by those who really like the tales of Poirot, and a good mystery. It’s a good thing the original novel comes packaged with the game, because in this case, I’d recommend giving it a read instead.

    Family Party: 30 Great Games
    You won’t be missing anything if you never play some of the games; they are really not that great.

    Rise of Flight: The First Great Air War
    Rise of Flight is at its core a strong flight simulator. So while flying is fun, dogfighting and bombing ultimately left something to be desired.

    CivCity: Rome
    A basic city building game is joined with simple combat, trading, and research. CivCity Rome is very plain and not very fun to play.

    Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley
    With incredible graphics, great sound design and a fantastic sense of humor one would imagine that this game couldn't possibly fail, especially in light of Twisted Pixels' previous works. Unfortunately the gameplay is nowhere near up to the caliber of the rest of the game.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
    In the graveyard of first-person shooters for the PSP, Rainbow Six Vegas is just one more for the crap-heap.

    Tom Clancy's HAWX 2
    Ubisoft really dropped the ball with this title. What should be an exciting fast-paced aerial combat game comes off more frustrating than anything because of its control issues, poor A.I, and just downright infuriating level designs.

    Guitar Hero: Van Halen
    Plainly put, if you've played any other band-specific Guitar Hero games, you know what to expect, and that is a game that isn't as good as the others.

    Disciples III: Renaissance
    Disciples III: Renaissance does not have a lot going for it. Well, strike that, it does have a fantastic art style that will draw you in very quickly if you allow it. But the lack of tactical depth, the repetition of battle, upgrades, and heroes levelling, a campaign that's long but not terribly interesting, even the poor audio all work together to make playing this game a chore.

    Valhalla Knights 2
    Valhalla Knights 2 does nothing with the power of the PSP and is a rather bad game to boot.

    DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon
    When it comes down to it, if you’re really, really interested in seeing a bit more of the world and character from the film, then you might have some enjoyment with this game, but just a little. But without some varied combat or something that doesn’t feel like filler, it’s hard to say that anyone else will enjoy it.

    Shaun White Skateboarding
    There just isn't a whole lot going for Shaun White: Skateboarding. It's a game that's, at best, bland and uninspired, and stuck in the past. With the quality of skateboarding titles that are out today, this game just doesn't do enough to stand out from the crowd.
