In the end, X Blades is just downright terrible. It shouldn’t be played, it shouldn’t be rented and it shouldn’t even be looked at.

Fatal Fury Special is not worth the points to download. The game is tougher than a two dollar steak, and has aged about as well as milk left behind a radiator for a month.

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

Driver is in need of a serious tune-up.

This one's a definite pass.

With an online guide opened and at the ready, the frustrating aspects of the game can be avoided and it becomes easier to enjoy, but I don't count a good game one where I have to constantly cheat in order to play it without throwing my controller into the television.

If not a bit ironic, Duke ends the game with a line about how 'crappy' the ending was. Well Duke, that just about summed up the entire game. There are no redeeming qualities about this game, the shooting, weapons, enemies, gameplay, platforming and driving all combine to be one extremely unrewarding experience. If it were not for the fact this game has had so much hype and been in development for nearly fifteen years, this game would not be receiving any attention, because it does not deserve any.

So go outside, read a book or just pick your nose for a couple of hours. Wacky Races: Crash & Dash isn’t worth it.

Great Battles of Rome = Epic Fail.

It’s just simply not fun to play.

The poor animations, and more than anything, the lax controls, make this a game that few will play more than once.

Do yourself a favor and avoid the pain.

Really Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is a failure in just about every aspect. While you can enjoy the game, especially the online or Arcade mode, a good bit there's almost nothing to make this game something that anybody should own.

A proper historical simulator is a great idea, but as it stands I would much rather play Risk then ever look at this one again.

Vampire Rain: Altered Species is truly a terrible game, offering horrendous gameplay, atrocious AI, and an overall unpleasant experience.

Avoid this game like you would that girl in the eight grade who used to pick her nose and munch on the contents.

There are games that evoke nostalgia, and there are games that just feel old. Call For Heroes: Pompolic Wars, feels too much like the latter, and has a myriad of problems associated with its core gameplay that make it tough to play, and even harder to enjoy.

While this game may look good in screenshots, it’s an absolute bore.

Godzilla: Unleashed is not a game I can see myself purposefully playing again.

There’s the broken remake of the title, in which you can’t even finish. There’s the classic which, while fun, doesn’t nearly justify the price tag, especially without download play. If you’re really looking to satisfy a Bubble Bobble craving, there are much better ways to do it.

I plan to sink my copy into a bucket of concrete and plunge it into the deepest part of the ocean, after dropping it in a vat of carbolic acid.
