    nail'd
    In a strange way, I respect the intent behind a game like Nail'd, and I don't generally like tearing down the hard work of a smaller publisher. Unfortunately, shallow gameplay, a myriad of glitches, boring and repetitive objectives, a non-existent online community, average at best graphics all conspire to make Nail'd a game destined to be forgotten in the bargain bin of your local games store.

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest
    It seems that Pandemic should stick to making games with blaster rifles instead of swords and arrows, those are infinitely better than Conquest.

    Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey
    Swashbucklers doesn’t have anything that’s worth the purchase, and it can be looked over by most gamers.

    Phantasy Star Universe
    Nothing has been improved in the six years since PSO. Worse still, PSU actually managed to take steps backwards (level design, story, online play, mission counters, equipment, mags, etc) and ruin the memory of the Phantasy Star legacy.

    Perimeter: Emperor's Testament
    The bottom line is Perimeter: Emperor's Testament is a flawed diamond.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
    There simply aren’t enough positive elements to the presentation of this game to compensate for the repetitive battle and wonky camera.

    Bionicle Heroes
    I cannot recommend this game for adults, kids, or even a rental, unless you plan to find humour in a so bad it's good kind of way.

    Death Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom
    Simply put, this is one science experiment that should have been buried six feet under.

    Night Watch
    The engine, while used well in previous titles, is a poor choice for this game. The linearity of the title is constricting and aggravating when it feels like there’s a big city full of Others waiting to be explored.

    Penumbra: Requiem
    Penumbra: Requiem, as a game, doesn’t know what it is.

    Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War
    If you're starved for strategy and like the idea of open-area, semi-persistent medieval battle scenes, Bladestorm might make sense. Unfortunately, you won't find rewarding, patient strategy, or dynamic action within.

    The Sacred Rings
    There's just not enough to attract a lot of people to this game. The story feels non-existent, the characters are dull, and the puzzles mind-numbing.

    Great War Nations: The Spartans
    All in all, Great War Nations: The Spartans is just such a generic game that it’s hard to recommend at all.

    It's the Big Game, Charlie Brown
    It’s just not a fun game.

    LifeSigns: Surgical Unit
    The typically anime characters are great for a laugh, and you occasionally learn a medical term or two with which to impress your girlfriend, but overall, playing LifeSigns is like being operated on by a chimpanzee without anesthetic.

    Achron
    The real-time strategy mechanics are just not done well, it's as simple as that.

    Front Mission Evolved
    In the end, Front Mission Evolved took the concept of third-person mech combat and took all the fun out of it. It is hard to not compare it to other games like it because the other ones got the core of it right. If Square Enix decides to take the series back to being a tactical RPG, I wouldn't blame them.

    Hasbro Family Game Night: Battleship
    Even at a lower price point this game offers very little to justify spending any money on it as the likelihood that you will return to play very frequently is slim to none.

    DreamWorks Shrek the Third
    StT is as weak as licensed kiddie games get. It's a boring, shallow experience that features none of the whimsy and hilarity of the films.

    Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None
    While the game is a budget title that still doesn’t excuse its myriad flaws and failings.
    • 58 Metascore

    Conflict: Denied Ops
    Conflict: Denied Ops is not a thinking man’s title. It’s a game where you can just play and run and shoot things and grunt.
