Due to a repetitive gameplay and uninspiring content the portable DS-version of Spore fails to make itself interesting. A greater selection of mini-games and ways to play the game would have helped this in essence mediocre experience.

Even though it might sound odd that the central premise of the plot is a big sword it actually works in this game. The main issues we have with Sonic and the Black Knight is the controls and overall gameplay. It's just not that fun to flail about with your arms in the long run. This is sadly yet another mediocre Sonic game without redeeming features.

Promising attempt to create a fantasy cooperative RPG action fails because of frustrating game design, technical bugs and lousy visuals. [May 2012]

The massive world and tons of secrets to be found in it are two of the few strengths in what is otherwise a really bad racing game. Poor AI, horrid driving mechanics, shoddy physics and tacky design. Put simply, avoid at all costs.

Instead of coming up with anything interesting and worthwhile, Destiny takes mechanics from better games and grinds them to a halt in an incredibly repetitive and monotonous experience. The PvP is all right and the presentation may be gorgeous, but the pretty surface only serves to remind us of the emptiness inside.

Last King of Africa is a remake of the adventure game with the same name released for the PC in 2006. Given that Benoît Sokal, responsible for classic adventure games such as Syberia and Syberia 2, is a member of the development team this game is a big disappointment. It's a decent adventure game but it lacks that certain something that makes the experience memorable.

Funtown Mahjong is a simplified version of the more complex Chinese board game mahjong. The main issue plaguing this title is the fact that it's not simple enough to attract the uninitiated while not being challenging enough for the veterans. The game could very well have utilized the possibilities that a console game offers to the gameplay mechanics, but since this isn't the case you'll be better of taking a closer look at the real deal.

The basic mechanic of riding a snowboard down a mountain covered in white bliss is pure fun and beautifully framed in Shaun White's Snowboarding. Unfortunately, the actual meat of the game is severely flawed which cripples the overall experience. Competitions and other game modes are riddled with issues, bad AI and poorly designed challenges being two of them. Shaun White's Snowboarding does the actual gameplay right, and just about everything else wrong.

A decent action game that entertains for the moment. There are mechanics that encourage cooperation, but other than that there's not much to praise as characters, level design and AI (amongst others) are sub par.

A platformer that doesn't do anything new and never excels in any way. In the end it's ok, but not much more than that.

This latest entry in the Buzz-series brings us fun quiz-based entertainment, wrapped in a simple and intuitive interface. A nice feature is the ability to enjoy a game of multiplayer even if you only have one PSP to pass around. The one major flaw here is the content, or lack of it to be specific. You'll easily blast through all of the questions in one evening, drastically reducing the lasting appeal of this title.

Four years have passed since Mario Power Tennis was released for the Nintendo Gamecube, but for this released nothing new is to be found except for the addition of a motion sensing control scheme. Mario Power Tennis was a somewhat mediocre game when it was released and that still holds true to this day.

Stupid story, repetitive gameplay and sub par controls. Some of the action is fun, but Dead to Rights should have been buried long ago.

Weird and mediocre truck simulation fails at the most important thing – there's no fun here. Maybe if you want to practice truck driving in California you appreciate the detailed road map. [Issue#191]

In the first couple of hours Until Dawn is a really intensive horror game, that most certainly will scare the hell out of you. Unfortunately the story isn’t sufficiently well written to hold up in the almost 7 hours it takes to finish the game. And yes, after a while the jump scares feels a bit annoying.

Really fun idea to be a part of movies, but the technique just isn't working.

In TV Superstars you are the star - or trying to anyway. By scanning your face and solve a series of mini games, you will try to become a celebrity. The game's gimmick works very well, but the mini-games leave a lot to be desired.

The same formula as in the former parts in the serie. Chop, boil and rinse in different mini games to make a meal. Gets too repetitive before the dinner is ready.

Had it been released about a decade ago, Cursed Mountain might have conjured up more than a slight shrug. The few occasions where the atmosphere actually started to draw us in were promptly ruined by god awful Wii controls and terribly realized enemies. Add to this horribly poor pacing and what you end up with is a decent at best horror game that's hard to recommend to anyone.

Montague’s Mount is a pretty unique experience with a celtic theme and a good atmosphere. The puzzles are somewhat generic, the controls sluggish and the current version of the game is riddled with bugs. But all in all fans of the genre should still find a lot to enjoy here.

Puddle features a nice and nerdy scientific setting, but horrible level design and long loading times makes it frustrating to play.

Sid Meier's Starships is a strategy game for those that really don’t have the time it takes to learn complex mechanic. Sadly it’s lacking a good AI and feels a bit unpolished at the same time.

If you take into account the amount of time and effort Silicon Knights has put into this title it boggles the mind when looking at the final product. Too Human actually manages to utterly fail in almost everything it attempts to do and constantly manages to show off new caveats in the formula. Repetitive and stupid enemies, uninspiring combat and a plot line that leaves much to be desired. The online co-op mode does help a bit, but it can't save what must be the most hyped failure in gaming history.

There are some fine moments, especially in the beginning of the game, but most of the time it's just a poor imitation of Gears of War.

The foundation works but there isn’t much more than that. A game for those already interested in the series.

This is a somewhat odd product. There are really excellent songs to be found here, but everything else in the package feels empty and lackluster. Since it's possible to buy a number of AC/DC albums in the Rock Band store already we're having trouble identifying the purpose of this game. Because of this we can only recommend this title for AC/DC fans, if at all.

Deadpool is an action game that tries very hard to make fun of the game medium. Sometimes it is very funny while other times it is not. Gameplay-wise Deadpool manages to be pretty standard stuff but it is rather evident that it should’ve needed more time in development.

Causing mayhem in the city of New York is the only thing that's mildly entertaining in this game, with other content such as mini games and missions being utterly mediocre. Problems with framerates, graphical glitches and a far to short draw distance only cements the impression of this game being a perfect example of how quality and built-to-order games don't go hand in hand.
