    Paying $8.00 (800 DSi points) for a badly pixelated and poorly executed game is never a good idea, no matter how great the nostalgia is.

    This game only exists to feed the marketing machine, and as such isn't a dreadful game, but it isn't enjoyable either.

    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.

    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.

    Record of Agarest War is the very reason Japanese game development is accused of stagnation, and the sleazy marketing doesn't lend the game any credence. This is not 1998.

    To anyone with the ability to read and even a small English vocabulary, this game is going to become boring in a few minutes. The lack of multiplayer hurts, too, but not as much as the $10 price point.

    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.

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

    Mini Ninjas for the DS has its good moments, but it has a lot more bad ones. Every once in a while you're handed a fun platforming segment, but more often you're thrown into repetitive fights with the same boring enemies you've been fighting the whole game.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Loyal subscribers to the online game might find this side story charming, but a gamer coming to this world without any prior knowledge of the online world it stems from will likely miss the point.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Raven Squad is a good idea gone bad.

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

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

    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.

    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.

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