    The glaring use of 8-bit menus and what seems to be very low effort produce a game with any depth or redeeming qualities.

    Sluggish would not even begin to describe the controls. Moving Alex around is like driving a ten ton dump truck through wet cement in a blizzard.

    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!

    Lack of new-age help features and visuals cues leads you to banging your head against a wall. Which coincidentally, sounds more fun than playing A-Men 2.

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

    If you ever think about picking this game up, put it down and slap yourself for thinking such a thought. Run far, far away from Bomberman Act: Zero.

    Just after the first section of the game I wanted to throw this game out the window. Where has the fun gone in beat-em up games? Where are the Final Fights, Streets of Rages, and Double Dragons today?

    Just like Gollum, I'm a bit split. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum features a great story that adds to the lore, along with a terrific stealth system, but it misses the mark in other areas. A finicky and redundant platforming system, mixed with a dialogue system that lacks bite makes for a combination that drags the rest down. Gollum is always so close to The Ring, but ever so far.

    Zombeer is, in all honestly, a cute idea stiffly marinated in Leisure Suit Larry sensibilities, Duke Nukem- like execution, and Stubs the Zombie inspirations. However, this title succeeds almost only in resurrecting those title’s shortcomings while piling on some of its own.

    This skater not only fails by today’s standards, it wouldn’t even be passable during Tony’s heyday. Lousy controls, bland visuals, and an abundance of bugs make Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 a broken mess.

    Ghostbusters as a couch co-op game is a dream on paper. Unfortunately, the execution from FireForge Games is so lackluster and devoid of quality that publisher Activision should be ashamed in having released it.

    This game needs to go-go back to the drawing board.

    Ark: Survival Evolved is an open-world survival game where you're fighting against the elements and the dinosaurs around you. There are some nice concepts implemented, but framerate and performance issues drag the game down. Unless these are somehow fixed, you might be better off steering clear.

    What little fun Tenkai Knights Brave brings during the mech-on-mech battles is almost entirely overshadowed by the game’s incredibly repetitive nature. Even the surprisingly robust customization that the game offers isn’t enough to warrant the rest of the package.

    There's just no way around it - Batman: Dark Tomorrow simply failed on the core aspect of gameplay design.

    Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is, by a wide margin, one of the worst games of the year. I don’t know what the team at Codemaster was thinking, but they’ve wrecked everything Triumph Studios had built. Either give it back, or let this franchise die — it has suffered enough, as have we.

    As a fighter and a gamer, I’m deeply insulted by Fighter Within.

    Though it seeks to mimic survival horror classics like Silent Hill and Resident Evil 2, BlackSoul fails to capture any of what made those titles great while highlighting their worst aspects.

    It's not that the Zombii Attack tries something new and aggressive but fails to pull it off, but that it hardly seems to try to be much of a game at all.

    Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers could have been the crossover that fans have been waiting for. However, with the game including nothing that makes any of the series represented great, it ends up as another title in the pile of countless generic licensed games.

    While Vroom in the Night Sky isn’t a spectacular game, there’s no denying that I had some fun with it for the short-lived time I spent with the title. I just wish it could be more over-the-top with its presentation rather than dull and unoriginal for most of the ride.

    With no story and just straight dueling against Joey or a friend, the game can become boring and tedious. This is an excellent game for people that play the Collectible card game though.

    The game was created well, but is in desperate need of more content as the game feels as shallow as most of the themes the game is based on.

    Crash MOM isn’t actualy a bad game, but the insane loading times cause it to be far more frustrating than it should be.

    This would have been a perfect Wiiware offering or budget title, but as a full-price retail product, it simply doesn’t offer quite enough value.

    The problem with Alganon is that for one, it's simply so 'ho-hum' and simply boring that it couldn't sustain my interest for very long at all. Second, the largest issue isn't that Alganon is broken so much as that it simply is unfinished.

    As it stands, however, I found Fortix a mediocre experience that just didn’t grab me as much as I thought it might.

    It was a great game on the PSP, but when playing it on the PS2 from your couch, with surround sound and a TV bigger than a post card, the game is simply average.

    Still, fans of retro-adventure titles and those just bored of the "same old same old" in the hidden object field may find themselves captivated by A Gypsy's Tale's storybook charm.

    If you're a fan of fantasy novels, RPGs, Choose Your Own Adventure, Harry Potter, life simulators or all of the above, Academagia will probably feed your need while not draining your bank account (at least, not until you're hooked and the next four games come out).
