Untamed is a perfect example of a franchise paying heed to a platform almost out of muscle memory more so than anything else.

The Nintendo DS has other logic games in its repertoire that are more exciting, stimulating, and feel more like a complete package.

I’m just as surprised as you may be to hear that the replay value I found in Stacked is actually quite high.

Sure, the game was designed for kids, so I can overlook some of the over-simplified and repetitive graphics, sound and even story, but the gameplay is just awful.

Naruto has definitely seen better days. In the end, all these problems can't be forgiven when put together, not even by the most die-hard fans. Naruto: Dragon Blade Chronicles is perhaps a story that would have been better seen as an animated film. But as a video game, you can pass on this story.

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.

The Chosen: Well of Souls doesn’t really have anything going for it.

You Are Empty fails to really bring anything new to the table, but it does bring a unique setting and a creepy atmosphere. Where it falls flat, however, is the most important part of any game: its gameplay and its ability to be replayed.

Swashbucklers is a value title with very little value in it.

Credit must be given for the leap of faith and attempt at doing something new. If Tony Hawk Ride had been a success it likely would have opened the door even further for these types of games that use peripherals to emulate real life objects. The problem is that the game feels rushed, the skateboard does not respond well enough to your movements and the game itself isn’t all that rewarding or exciting.

This game suffers from an extreme lack of polish, and while it may serve as a neat project for grad-school game programmer, Street Trace has no place on Xbox Live Arcade, nor your hard drive.

Fan boys will get they're fix, and that's about the extent of FBM's scope, providing little to none entertainment value past the first 30 minutes.

Football Mogul 2007, even as a budget title, is just not in the same league as Baseball Mogul 2007 was and while well-meaning, feels more like an unfinished product than a neat little niche title. I'll go so far as to say that Football Mogul 2007 actually feels more like a Windows "application" than a football game.

If you're a fan of the series, more than likely you've already played a version on a home console. Save yourself the money, play that, and purchase a set of DVDs instead. Trust me, it'll last longer.

Wasted potential is all I see here, but the lack of quality in Power Gig doesn't make it any easier to see anything more. It simply isn't worth it for the guitar, nor the game: buy a cheap Six String if you want to learn the strings, leave this title alone.

The detail that has gone into the realism of the ships and locations is noticeable, but that doesn’t make up for the lack of any real interesting gameplay.

Regardless - this is a classic example of a solid game suffering from poor execution.

I would not recommend Tornado at all. It’s a decent concept (one we’ve seen before) but is executed in an extremely frustrating manner.

Yes, sneaking around as a ninja in dark and eviscerating your enemies is good for a bit of fun in short bursts, but Tenchu Z's gameplay is so broken and poorly designed that even the parts that the designers got right are lost in the shuffle.

With such simplistic controls, a kick (the B button) and a jump (the A button), a game like this could be executed much better. The player should definitely not be frustrated that the kick or jump doesn't quite work as expected, especially when there are no other options.

It is a shame that VR is nothing more than a poor man’s Splinter Cell with a dash of Resident Evil thrown in for flavour.

Seven Kingdoms: Conquest fails to do anything right. Balance problems, technical issues, pace, story, graphics…I can go on. It’s not worth playing.

Denied Ops suffers from abysmal graphics, awful audio, and incredibly low production values.
