    Crackdown 3 forgets the twelve years of innovation in videogames and ends up being a repetitive, boring game.

    This game is better than its predecessor, but that does not mean it is great. It's short, the story mode is minimal and the fighting system is way too simplistic to be enjoyable.

    This is a collection of minigames with fun concepts, but the influence of objects is so small, it is not like you can really make a difference.

    Bravo Team is a very repetitive game that is so annoying in controls that we cannot be very positive about it. It sounds bland and that is exactly what it is.

    This is a good try in doing a Metal Gear game without Hideo Kojima, but the game is simply not survival enough. The gameplay is pretty repetitive and we simply got bored way before the story ended.

    This game is so boring and standard, that it just feels like a bad game even though it does necessarily do anything wrong. If you don't like the Turtles, stay away from this game. If you do love the Turtles: stay away from this game too.

    Even though the setting, graphics and characters are pretty solid, AC Chronicles Russia simply does not feel like an epic adventure. Instead we get frustrating fights and that is again a disappointment.

    Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 is empty with broken gameplay and technical issues. Everything we love about the old games is gone. It is almost like the development of this game stopped halfway.

    Devil's Third is not fun at all. It is an unplayable collection of undefined gameplay mechanics full of bugs, sloppy textures and randomness. There is no place for Devil's Third on the current game market.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters may impress when it comes to its mature storytelling and themes, it does not fully deliver those things. This is a weak mix between a visual novel and a strategic RPG full of useless minigames.

    Lemmings Touch simply is one big mistake. Managing dozens of Lemmings simultaneously requires extremely precise controls, but the touch sensitive controls of Lemmings Touch don’t come even near to what could be regarded decent. These poor controls are so crucial for the gamer’s experience… the rest of the pros and cons don’t even matter anymore.

    Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is, as the name already suggests, the return of the film game as a monstrosity. Where recent Transformers games excelled in quality, nothing of that is to be found here. The poor script, repetitive levels, boring gameplay and technical shortcomings make this game a disappoint even for the most seasoned Transformers fan.

    Enemy Front is everything the box cover suggests: the most cliché WWII shooter ever, that has been released thirteen years too late. To provide an equally cliché opinion on the game: Enemy Front is fun for the fans. Fans of bad B-movies with angry screaming Nazis and predictable scenes, without any technical expectations, that is.

    Developer Milestone completely lost sight of the show elements of motocross, which makes MXGP feel kind of lame. A shame, because we're really itching for a new good motocross game.

    Playing through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 felt more like work than having fun. That has us seriously wondering who this game is meant for. The traditional Castlevania player might get a heart attack from the first enemy that jumps out at you with a laser gun. The Lords of Shadow fan will simply observe regression.

    Knack is a redundant and simplistic game that doesn’t convince as a next gen launch title. The combat and enemies create an annoying gameplay cycle, and the badly written story offers no reason to keep playing. Knack isn’t the fantastic next-gen exclusive we hoped it would be.

    Scourge: Outbreak does so many things badly that it’s become impossible to excuse. It might even be the poster child for everything that’s wrong with the current shooter landscape. The low price softens the blow, but this can’t be the excuse to release a game where so much simply isn’t finished or doesn’t work.

    Dark is boring, frustrating and unappealing. It doesn’t play well, the characters aren’t interesting and the story is just dumb. Don’t even bother with this one.

    The small group of people chomping at the bits for a new Painkiller would do well to play Hell and Damnation on a PC. The console-version is ugly, doesn't play well and is a technical mess. Hell will freeze over before you can get a full mutliplayer match going, which says enough.

    There's a lot wrong with Star Trek. The story is told very averagely, environments are boring, shooting is unsatisfactory, your companion will annoy you to death and boring puzzles might just eradicate most of your brain cells. The only fun I had with this game is thanks to the hilarious bugs.

    This game just screams lazy, or ignorance: I haven't decided yet. No, leave this game to rot in a dumpster. Get Double Dragon: Neon, if you want a game that's a great homage and made with love.

    You'd better follow your instinct when it comes to this Walking Dead-game. Survival Instinct a rushed and unpolished game. That this shambling corpse actually contains a few good ideas is not a good enough reason to endure the brain-rotting gameplay. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct shouldn't have risen from the dead to begin with.

    Anarchy Reigns is disappointing. The story is almost non-existent, the single player is repetitive and boring, the fighting is shallow and the multiplayer is decent at best. The only plus point is the awesome hip hop soundtrack.

    The single player campaign of Declassified is barely worth mentioning; within one hour you've seen it all. The multiplayer doesn't keep you interested for much longer. It's light on maps and modes, but more importantly it misses action. Black Ops Declassified makes us miss the time of the UMD, when a sub-par game could at least be used as a fancy coaster.

    007: Legends plays like a generic shooter and doesn't even come close to a worthy tribute to fifty years of Bond movies. The game is just way too predictable, incohesive, uninspired, cheap and bland. If 007: Legends was a martini, it would be stirred, not shaken.

    One thing has to be said about Spy Hunter: the game is very consistent. The graphics, the controls and the way the game is dressed up; it's all consistently terrible. Save your money for a movie ticket to Skyfall or buy some 007 movies on Blu-Ray, because that'll give you a hundred times more secret agent fun than Spy Hunter ever will.

    Inazuma Eleven Strikers is like eggs without bacon; it's just not finished. The game misses a grand story that ties all the matches together, because the gameplay itself is too weak to do that. Strikers misses every good thing the Inazuma Eleven series has ever given us and even the flashy animations the Wii puts on the screen can't make us forget this.

    The idea of piecing together your ultimate team is fun, but FIFA Superstars asks you the ultimate price for it. You don't have to pull out your wallet, but if you don't, you'll never get anywhere in this game. FIFA Superstars isn't free to play, it's pay to play.

    APB is an MMO you can play for free for fifty hours, but I seriously doubt anyone will get that far. The game completely fails in almost every aspect which makes playing this game a living hell. Sadly enough I couldn't enjoy APB even for a moment.

    Avatar: The Game is ambitious enough, but ambition alone doesn’t make a good game, something James Cameron doesn’t seem to realize. With wonky gameplay mechanics, a boring story and an overall lack of polish, this game is just another film crossover gone wrong.

    Sudou Ball Detective is like oil on water. The game doesn’t seem to succeed to mix Sudoku puzzles with a story. The amount of puzzles, 240, seems impressive, but is nothing compared to the million in Platinum Sudoku on the Nintendo DS.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes is not a great game full of bugs. The gameplay is very repetitive and is skipping once in a while, often the camera isn’t positioned right and you can’t see were to go. But the ambiance and the story seem to fit the TV-series very well. Star Wars is one of my favourite film series ever and there are a lot of games out there, but Republic Heroes is doing too much in a wrong way to get a positive grade.

    The visuals in Naruto: Ninja Destiny II are pretty okay and the fact that you can unlock Hokages is pretty cool, but this doesn’t save the game. The Battle controls are very bad, which is a sin for a fighting game, the game is not original and in the end not fun to play.

    Heroes Over Europe is a stripped down game and will be fairly forgotten with all the great games coming out this fall. Only the die-hard WWII and airplane fans will find this a great game to fly with the Spitfire or the Messerschmitt. The rest of the world will find this game very disappointing and probably won’t be interested. The missions are mostly the same and aren’t very exiting. The Ace Kills can be taken out of the game, and the game is not very pretty.

    The score for Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance could have been a positive one with a few extra months of development. Unfortunately the game is already on the store shelves with a bad story telling, bad A.I. and a bad level design. A typical example of a C-title…Too bad.

It's a big plus that finishing the game will only take you about three to four hours. Even the very reasonable cover system can't let you enjoy this simple and boring movie game.

    The story of HISTORY Great Battles: Rome will be written on one of history’s pitch black pages. The controls are awful, the gameplay is dull, the graphics are among the ugliest ever seen on the DS and the framerate drops ever too often. There is only one conclusion to be drawn: this product should’ve never made it to the store shelves.

    Sonic and the Black Knight is the perfect game to break your arm. The only thing you do is sweeping around the Wiimote, which is really boring. We could say "better luck next time", but to be honest: We don’t believe in a good Sonic-game anymore.

    Shellshock 2 looks like it’s been stuck in time. Everybody nowadays wants to play games with great controls, fantastic graphics and a lovely story. All of these elements are missing in is this game. This game is so bad, Michael Jackson wouldn’t want to touch it. We suggest everybody stays away from this game like it is a bomb threat, because this game would make you explode out of rage.

    There’s nothing wrong with barely clothed gals trashing through hordes and hordes of zombies. But when one button appears to be the only one you’ll be using for killing enemies, the concept suddenly becomes a lot less appealing. Those that are looking for a good zombie slasher should stick to Dead Rising or wait for it’s sequel. Hey, that game has some hot babes too you know.

    X-Blades starts like a real great game. There’s a girl and she cuts everyone open with her sword. How much can you get? Not much! As a bonus, we get to see an almost naked girl, carrying way too heavy swords. But even this gets boring after a while. Fight after fight where you have to push one button isn’t fun. Even all the nakedness of the game doesn’t cover that fact up.

It just doesn’t play as well, has fewer options and the soundtrack is mediocre at best. This game just doesn’t cut it with the franchises it desperately tries to be.

    Spending time on playing Tornado has been very unrewarding for me. Even after finishing the game, I didn’t feel like I had accomplished anything. To me, it felt more like a warmed up glass of beer on a hot summer day. Tornado simply doesn’t meet the demands of a videogame in the year 2008, so my advice to you is this: let this game blow over, and wait for something else.

    Lost in Blue 3 is a far from exciting game. It’s not challenging in any way, the minimalistic level design is awful, the mission objectives are unclear, the constant retrieving of water is both boring and frustrating.. I always thought getting stranded on a deserted island was more fun.
