You can smell games like this coming from a mile away.

This is the hardcore of hardcore RPGs. Some just won't like it and others will totally love it.

X-Men: The Official Game is officially a disaster.

Hazard walks the line between poking fun at games and being a game fairly successfully. The problems come from the wide net that the game cast and a few things slipping through the cracks.

Loses the battle against mediocrity hands down. The combat is decent, but there's little else to keep you interested. Ultimately forgettable.

Super Monkey Ball Adventure is not worth your time, money, or frustration.

Racquet Sports is a slightly above average game with candy-coated visuals that works when more than one human plays at the same time.

I really enjoyed this game. It wasn't the longest game in the world, took me about 6-9 hours to beat. However I had a great time playing the missions and it reminded me of "Max Payne" a little.

Witch's Tale is a good light-hearted RPG.

I'm all for games that are well built and don't overstay their welcome but the length of this game is horribly short.

Xbox 360 owners are better off playing Oblivion with a private chat channel open than attempting to play through Two Worlds.

Admittedly, the Wii-mote motion control of your horse's reins is fun and we were surprised at how it held our attention. As far as horse games go, My Horse and Me is a thoroughbred.

Super Hero Squad does a lot of the small things right, sacrificing some larger issues that should have been addressed. It is backwards game design in that regard since mechanics like combat and super powers needed to be adjusted along with fixing the camera trailing the heroes.

Fans of Excite Truck should check out Nitrobike.

It is hard to tell what the purpose of Judgment was, and how it would further increase the franchise's legacy. Yes, there is one interesting thing, but it is buried underneath a subpar game. It is hard to recommend this one.

NLF Tour keeps its feet grounded in believability while taking a more arcade style approach. To boil it down, Tour is a happy medium between Madden and NLF Blitz.

Neighborhood Games doesn't stand out from the crowded field of mini-game compilations. It misses the simple elegance of Wii Sports by a mile and tries to cover it for it by throwing more at you. That "more" isn't better and will only be a fun diversion for a few plays until it sets in that better options are available.

In terms of casual friendly training games, Mega Brain Boost is a good game. The problem is that it lacks the subtle refinements that would have improved the game considerably.

Even if the game wanted to be slightly more interactive than a book, the story is so convoluted that making sense of it takes more effort than playing.

Zathura unfortunately adds to the ever growing list of bad games based on children's films. This is rather sad because I believe given time, a decent budget, and a talented development team, the story of Zathura could make a good game.

Stormrise is caulk full of good ideas that don't amount to much. RTS innovations alone can't save Stormrise because thinking great thoughts doesn't always equate to a good game. Any redeeming factor is marred by sloppy construction and ideas that sound much better on paper.

Freestyle Street Soccer is repetitive.

The intended audience for Republic Heroes is going to be much more forgiving of the flaws than older Star Wars veterans.

Poor animations, poor audio, poor music, repetitive voices, bad camera angle and sluggish controls as well as overly simple objectives really ruin this game.

Fantastic Four fanatics apply only because there isn’t much in this game that will provide endless hours of fun.

It's overpriced and far too simple. Pass.

The gameplay is too simple to hold a captive audience for a long time.

RIDE is a blend of two worlds: one that tests your patience versus one that feels surprisingly interactive. With some bugs and controller issues RIDE does come across as a bit unfinished, but Robomodo has fearlessly taken on the role of changing the genre and with that comes a learning curve.

Ultimately, Samurai Shodown Sen is a title lacking the polish and depth found in the other brawlers available at this time. Poor controls and odd damage calculations dampen what could have been an entertaining experience, while plain scenery and dated graphics make it a little stale for the eyes.

It's impossibly hard to like Donkey Kong Barrel Blast; it's fundamentally flawed from the start. The Wii-waggle controls hope to compensate for what is otherwise a poorly designed Mario Kart wannabe, but it all backfires – they're the game's leading failure.

ToL wins a consolation point since there aren't many 3D fighters on the Wii, and it is accessible to play. Everything else is a disappointment stacked on more disappointments.

Worthy of a rental given the actual play time is not very long.

NLF Tour keeps its feet grounded in believability while taking a more arcade style approach. To boil it down, Tour is a happy medium between Madden and NLF Blitz.

With a dismal few good ideas and some of the worst execution seen in quite some time, DoD can't manage to save itself to be remotely enjoyable.

Last Rebellion is a niche RPG that only hardcore RPG fans will enjoy.

It is passable if you want to relish the glory days of the FPS when there weren't much in the way of frills and experience systems.

Salvation has "rush job" written all over it. There are so many problems and sloppy design that it hard to find any real value in the game.

There isn't much left to say about G.I. Joe. G.I. Joe is a dash of good in a landfill of bad. The one caveat is that if you play with a friend, it is possible to have fun but it won't solve any of the flagrant flaw.

There are some strong positives with Furu Furu Park, mainly with the classic gaming angle. However, for a genre that lives and dies by how the next mini-game can out-do itself, Furu Furu Park wanders somewhere in limbo.

It is not as good as The Warriors, but if you can look past the SERIOUS glitches, its a fun, but short game.

Clash of the Titans is no different than the dregs of games before it; there are simply too many half baked ideas, repetition, and sloppiness to make this a worthwhile endeavor.

Brave is basically a PS2 game with the ability to play on a 360 with no effort to upgrade or enhance the experience to even to average standards.

SPRay is an uninspired game fails to meet its potential from a publisher that should know better than this.

Some RPG fans will fall in love with the story and characters, while others will curse the loading times and slowdown. It's a niche game, and it appeals to a niche audience.

Between the lackluster visuals and uninspired gameplay there's very little to like about 0 Day.

All in all, Prison Break: The Conspiracy is an okay game that doesn't do all that much to differentiate itself from other television/movie-based tie-ins.

The Golden Compass, the book, has received more critical praise than it can count. Unfortunately, the same doesn't hold true for the movie or the video game.

JU-ON: The Grudge has very little to offer anyone. It'll scare you a couple times, but they're just cheap scares that even the lowest budget B movie would be embarrassed to have to resort to.

In the end, the game suffers from the biggest sin you could think of: It’s just not fun to play.

Raven Squad is a good idea gone bad.

Soccer is a simple sport that relies on execution and precise play. Pure Futbol is executed poorly and is an imprecise mess.

Napoleon Dynamite does a good job at staying faithful to the movie and adding some gameplay mechanics. However, there are some poor design choices like the flash-like graphics and some frustrating mini-games.

There are parts to like about Speed Zone and it wins some merit badges for the split-screen option. What doesn't go over well is perhaps one of the most crucial parts to a racing game, the ability to control your vehicle.

Throughout its lifespan, Legend of the Dragon fails to entertain for more than a few minutes.

The developers in charge of the DS version must have not cared enough about the game to spend some time fixing the major problems. Even if this game is targeted towards young girls, they deserve better than this.

KFR was a daring launch title in regards to the PlayStation Move. Unfortunately, KFR comes across as a shallow experience marred by overuse of the PlayStation Move.

The game is a total mess. I don't want to be disrespectful to those that undoubtedly worked hard to put the game out on store shelves, but there comes a point when you need to be honest and just say it like it is; there's no reason to play Damnation either alone or online.

The game isn't fun. The load times, graphics, presentation, and lack of readable fonts and radars makes this game unplayable.

The worst game on the Xbox 360, this game is to be avoided at all costs.

A good old fashioned college try was given to Vegas Party but it still ended up being just another faceless mini-game compilation in the vast ocean of Wii releases.

I can't think of a reason why this game was made, and even less reason why it was ported. Avoid.

A generic shooter that offers up nothing new, Rogue Warrior falls flat.

Pretend the game is the plague and avoid it at all costs.

Stay away. Stay far, far, far, far away from the Island of Dr. Frankenstein.

It is hard to even imagine youngsters getting any enjoyment out of this game. The mini-games, which is the entire backbone of the game, are so uninspired and poorly phoned in that the only thing that you can recommend about Puffin Island Adventure is the graphics

Cook-Off is a shell of a game that isn't close to being filled out.

Where's Waldo is executed very elegantly on the Wii. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't and sticks with the already brilliant source material.

For every good part of Cloudy, they were either mishandled or shadowed by a bad feature. Great for the kids to play, but don't get caught up thinking this will hold your attention as well.

Don't worry about missing anything worthwhile here. There are some gamers who might find the game so bad it's good but, even then, it would be best to rent the game to see if it will appeal even in that, "we're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you," sense.

The Oregon Trail may not be as difficult as the original, but it's still as addictive to play.

The price might be set at a point where it mitigates some of the harsh words said about it, but developers, at this point, really need to recognize the limits of the PSP.

Just flat out a bad game. Being a budget title does not save this game or excuse any of its shortcomings, as so many of today's budget titles for kids are actually very good.
