Sadly, a fun game gets annoying due to omniscient AI and nebulous level design.

While the overall design and extras are decent, without a consistent feel to its controls, My Horse & Me isn't worth saddling up.

Whether you crave adventure in itself or seek a twist on the genre, The Experiment just about fits the bill.

The game does a pretty good job at being fun, but when it comes to a good tycoon experience, it falls short.

While this game was once top of the line it hasn’t aged well nor has it been given a new coat of paint to make it more visually appealing.

Omega Five is definitely worth a look, one of the best Xbox Live Arcade games released to date.

Simple controls, linear gameplay, a basic (yet confusing storyline) equates to an experience that may please the casual hack and slash gamer.

There’s not too much to the game besides the few modes, and though the character selection screen is certainly filled with choices, it’ll still be quite obvious that you’re playing in the same modes over and over again.

The result is a title that gives a tactical experience leaving a lot to be desired. There are just too many issues to recommend it to people who just want a deep tactical game, even for fans of the genre.

MvA doesn’t do anything wrong per se, it’s just not the game that’s going to bring new fans over to the sport of motocross.

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

Untamed isn’t a game worthy of adding to your collection unless you are a die-hard MX or ATV fan.

While it is impressive how much of the gameplay nuances of the home versions have made it into this handheld cartridge, there simply isn’t enough gameplay to keep you interested for very long.

This title isn’t altogether terrible, but gives you no incentive to make you want to keep playing.

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.

So, the game does deliver its promise – upgrading a classic sports game while keeping the original gameplay intact – but it does it in such a way that introduces new problems and irritations.

All this amounts to Mass Effect being much more of a lover than a fighter: a beacon as a sci-fi storytelling, heavily cinematic experience whose brilliance only brings light to the relatively predictable, plain combat that runs in parallel.

Like the protagonist Kane, it’s decent but has too many flaws for comfort.

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

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

While it is worth checking out Next Life merely for its intrigue, the slow pace and brain-numbing puzzles will leave most adventurers high and dry and barred from the continued storyline that might otherwise quench their thirsts.

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

Timeshift starts off with a bang, with impressive visuals and God-like powers at your fingertips. The bang, however, fails to last throughout the game, and you’ll constantly find it harder and harder to keep going.

It’s as simple as this; if you own a PS3, you need to get Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

Despite numerous faults, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is a decent sequel to a fabulous game by Ubisoft.

It is fun for the first few levels until you realize that it’s all the same and not particularly imaginative.

Do yourself a favor and avoid the pain.
