    ET: QW is not fun, period.

    In other words, have you ever watched Jackass on MTV and thought, "I wish I could suffer through that same level of pain and humiliation?" Now you can!

    Sadly, Prince of Persia: The Fallen King has far too many shortcomings to recommend it to anyone.

    Maybe in a few months with enough user-generated and downloadable content, Buzz! QW might be worth looking at. As is, however, it is nothing more than a completely lackluster, dull, and boring trivia game.

    Unfortunately, Over G Fighters doesn’t have the sense of speed, graphics, action, or mission structure to make you feel like you are flying the unfriendly skies.

    Lair has some serious problems with the controls, but the fact of the matter is that it isn’t irreparable.

    The folks who worked on it were certainly heading in the right direction – Sacred Citadel just doesn’t have enough polish or pull to really keep you coming back for more – an experience I’d rather had not given my bag of quarters up for.

    The mixture of RTS and action game doesn't really mesh well, the game runs really poorly, and the game includes Starforce. Unless you've got a really high end machine and want to play something somewhat different, stay far, far away from this title.

    This one feels like you could finish it in the theater before the movie ended.

    There is no way of putting it nicely – this game sucks. Avoid this game at all costs. Even if you loved the previous Spyro titles, do not buy this game. Show Universal that we don’t buy crap.

    The game falls incredibly short. While the story is engaging and is driven by the dialogue, there is just too much dialogue and not enough gameplay.

    Naughty Bear is an example of a game that fundamentally misses the mark - there are a ton of fantastic, creative ideas here that sound great on paper, but are so poorly executed that it just doesn't work.

    While you might find some enjoyment in a few of the mini-games, it just doesn’t justify purchasing the game.

    If you don't care about details like the Chinese camping out in Africa, the gamebreaking units, the really bad AI, the even worse pathing logic, and the fact that you can't play the game on hardware more than 2 years old then you may enjoy this.

    I understand that Crash: Mind Over Mutant is good on the consoles. Not great, but good. It seems that a little more time and effort could have gone into the DS version, and it makes me sad.

    Don't be fooled by the packaging; these are not the Skylanders you're looking for.

    Run, not walk, far away from this piece of junk. Do not buy this game at all costs or you will regret it. You have been warned.

    The graphics are below average. The combat is monotonous. The storyline is uninspired.

    Destroy All Humans is dead and Path of the Furon put the final nail in the coffin. Rest in peace Crypto.

    This game is crap. Much like "Smackdown" this fails to live up to the best AKI/Asmik has put forward in this genre. However this game falls even below Smackdown in my mind.

    Hover is a game with fundamental design and movement flaws that limit theoverall appeal of the game. However, surrounding these problems is a great universe that is matched by solid mission variety, a unique level-up system, and interesting energy mechanics. In addition, the game’s robust basketball-parkour mode, Gameball, is an absolute highlight, and offered the most fun Hover has to offer. Depending on how much these design issues affect your enjoyment will largely depend on what you prioritize in games, and as such, Hover is difficult to give a blanket recommendation.

    While addictive in short bursts, Pirate Pop Plus doesn’t have the staying power to compete with the new retro classics in the market today.

    Sadly, LEGO The Movie Videogame fails to live up to the expectations set by both it’s source material and its video gaming forebears.

    Liberated wants to be so much, but it trips on its own feet within the first comic issue. The idea to read a comic book on your Nintendo Switch, and also play within those same panels, was a fantastic creative decision. However, the developers seem to have put more effort into that idea than filling out the rest of the gameplay, which is nothing short of lacklustre. If, at times, the cliche story didn’t read like a low quality YA novel, then I’d have appreciated it more.

    Bubble Bobble 4 Friends fails to bust a move and find any justification for its high price point. It lacks in length, it lacks in features, and even lacks a leaderboard, an oversight for this kind of game. While it is an enjoyable title with a few friends, there are plenty more affordable multiplayer arcade-style games available for even a quarter of the price.

    Shu
    Shu is a game plagued by its own potential. With tight platforming and shifting abilities, this bite sized game could have been a real treat. Instead, you find yourself constantly bogged down in small frustrations and game breaking crashes. I like the game Shu is trying to be, but not the game it is.

    Way of Wyrd’s shadow-heavy visuals perfectly capture the Hellboy aesthetic. Sadly, the game lurking beneath those shadows suffers from unambitious design, inconsistent mechanics, and occasionally devastating bugs. Fun can still be found in the Wyrd, it’s just harder to find than it should be.

    Sir, You Are Being Hunted has a delightful sense of humor, but it’s just not enough to carry the rest of the experience.
