An average attempt that doesn’t really fan the flames of this tiresome feud.

Bionic Commando could have been a great game, if only a little more effort was put into the storyline to actually convince players to keep on going through the levels.

Nier could have been something if more thought was put into the actual gameplay and leveling system, rather than making it a linear path through mediocrity.

With unimaginative gameplay and occasionally confusing controls, Conquest isn’t going to be conquering Middle Earth any time soon.

A game with restricted and simple gameplay that could have been a decent game.

This is easily the worst PES we have ever played. Hopefully next year Konami will work on improving the game. Until then though, we have FIFA 09.

The game, for new comers at least, will turn into a button mashing fight when playing a much more experienced friend, who by the way is going to be kicking your ass like there is no tomorrow.

Nothing fancy here. A game targeting the young gamers that manages to grab their attention for while.

Far Cry 2 is a game that we wanted to love. It started off very well only to sink lower and lower into tedious territories.

A handful of modes and some of these battles will take time and effort to beat.

The game, with a short campaign and poor gameplay, really doesn't deserve to be bought.

It’s not pretty and it’s devoid of personality.

Spiderwick is a solid videogame based on a popular book and movie. If you enjoyed reading or watching either of those, you will surely equally enjoy beating this videogame.

A decent effort that is not as bad as some might expect. A longer main quest and sharper graphics would have did this game wonders.

One thing you have to adjust to this year however is the increased difficulty of the passing game.

Perhaps if you are a dedicated fan of the AC series you may want to give this a try, however everyone should approach this with a bit of patience.

Capcom improved a lot on their previous release, however Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes still needs a lot of work as its far from perfect.

For everyone who ever thought that commanding a beast can only be great, this game demonstrates otherwise. It has good points but they are few and far between.

For everyone who ever thought that commanding a beast can only be great, this game demonstrates otherwise. It has good points but they are few and far between.

The great game mechanics need to be supplemented by some more game types and tracks, and an XP system that is not a wreck. A step in the wrong direction from THQ.

The ideas behind the game are great, but the execution is a bit disappointing.

There is definitely moments worth experiencing, perhaps a sequel will resolve the issues present in the game.

It's worth experiencing once, but the repetition will remind you not to try that again.

It may not be enough to challenge the likes of Dirt, but the framework is definitely there for Milestone to produce a great rally title.

It may not be enough to challenge the likes of Dirt, but the framework is definitely there for Milestone to produce a great rally title.

A thoroughly disappointing sequel.

The raw entertainment is there, but the shortcomings make it a disappointing game.

A solid effort that lacks excitement and star names.

We were really looking forward to this one, but many problems however force us to put this game down sooner than expected.

Golden Abyss is for the fans, no doubt – a formulaic Uncharted that sticks to what it knows best. It's more down-to-earth, realistic and at times, adventurous, but is unable to match its console-counterpart's memorable sequences and polish. It's also for those who needs a constant reminder of how "OMG! Vita is awesom3z!".

We were really looking forward to this one, but many problems however force us to put this game down sooner than expected.

Potentially a great game, but most of that potential not realised.

We do applaud Midway for trying to do something new here, but the repetitive nature of the gameplay, complicated controls and most importantly the clip played over and over again during game time really kills off any chance of this game competing with Home court.

This gameplay unfortunately is the main issue here. While the moves and combinations of attacks look good and are fun to actually execute, having you do them none stop all game long is a very painful chore.

Not the game you are looking for. LucasArts promised so much, yet delivered so little.

Though enjoyable for the first 30 minutes, you will soon tire of the same scenery and limited flexibility of the single player modes.

If you are a fan of the show, this is an add-on you do not want to miss.

I applaud the developers for trying to make this work, but I honestly don't see many players spending too much of their time trying it out.

Could have been an improvement from the first, but fails to win anyone over.

A little overpriced for 7 hours of light entertainment that will end up sitting on a shelf or in a drawer when you have completed it.

KOF XII is a bad attempt to bring a fan favourite onto next-gen consoles.

KOF XII is a bad attempt to bring a fan favourite onto next-gen consoles.

The game could have been a real gem, but its unholy learning curve and stupefying voice acting kills that dream early on.

A decent attempt to provide a good arcade-style racing experience but lacks any unique selling points to differentiate itself from other similar games in the market.

A disappointment. The game seems like a test project on the 3DS for Capcom with the end goal of checking how the engine works on the 3DS hardware.

In this day and age, there is no way a game like Splatterhouse could have the shock value it so obviously yearns for, not to mention that all the blood in the world couldn't cover up its various deficiencies.

The cover is a bit misleading; instead Lara should be holding a radio and a grappling hook.

While Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions is definitely a step back in the franchise it's not a drastic one per say. If you are a fan of Spiderman then the game can still be fun despite its many flaws. However if you are looking for a game with a lot more polish and then Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions should best be avoided.

This is not a game you should be looking to add to your collection. It is just one of those games made to be bought for young kids that enjoyed the movie.

Its good fun, but only for limited time and then it gets pale.

A game that will certainly appeal to fans of the franchise, but falls short of its full potential.

The only reason to buy a console monopoly game is having an online play, which this version lacks. The game itself is a solid monopoly when you are alone or you have lost your monopoly box.

Farts vs. Zombies is a nice game, but not for everyone. If you do not appreciate the humor, then stay away. But if you do, and don't mind the unnecessary difficulty, then get it. It's only $0.99 – 'drop' it here than on other useless apps that you won't even use.

Tron Evolution could have been a great game, but it lacks much of the polish required to leave a lasting impression.

Megastunt Mayhem is a game that tries to bring an innovative stunt driving concept to the iOS platform, but falls short of doing so successfully due to a number of little issues that eventually add up and hold it back from being a potentially fun and entertaining title.

In a nutshell Splinter Cell 3D is a remake the doesn't do justice to the original title.

A decent co-op game, ruined by expectations associated with its brand name.

Trivial Pursuit is just another example of why some games should stay as board games.

Not the classic re-release we wanted, developers should start improving old games before simply throwing them out on XBLA.

Could have been an improvement from the first, but fails to win anyone over.

Another animated movie game that just passes as a decent game for the young gamers.

It is almost unplayable with its flawed control scheme.

Not the game we were hoping for, maybe a full release in the future will help this series gain back what it lost here.

A very disappointing entry in the NFS series, which clearly shows that not much thought was put into making it. Tries to bring back the fun and rush seen in Most Wanted, but fails in almost every aspect.

Buy this game only if you're under 12 and a fan of the movie.

Dark Void feels like a rushed game and tries to combine too many elements into one.

An unimpressive game that lacks any real charm.

Sega Superstar Tennis could have been a good game, however its erratic framerate, fussy controls, and diluted gameplay won't have you playing for long.

On the outside it’s a very good game - graphics, sound effects, music are all fantastic. Everything else however, is bad and lets the game and the whole series down.

It's hard to think of Dark of the Moon as anything but crass movie advertising of the interactive variety and so it's hard to take it seriously as a game in its own right.

A racing game that does not quite live up to the level of expectation in the genre at the moment.

A racing game that does not quite live up to the level of expectation in the genre at the moment.

Put simply, Time Machine Rogue Pilot does too little to differentiate itself which is a fatal shortcoming for an entry into such a saturated puzzle genre. Had it the actual capacity to take us back 20 years, it may have garnered more appeal.

On the outside it’s a very good game - graphics, sound effects, music are all fantastic. Everything else however, is bad and lets the game and the whole series down.

Michael Jackson The Experience HD would only appeal to hardcore fans of his music, and even then the short lifespan of the game won't guarantee a memorable experience anyway.

An action/RPG with JRPG elements; which has totally lost its way. Not recommended.

Some nice new additions on the defensive end and down low in the paint, but still feels awkward overall.

All hype and no fuzz. A huge disappointment.

Boogie is a game you will enjoy for a very limited amount of time before you get bored and forget you ever played it.

Classic case of film becoming mediocre game. Surprise surprise.

Classic case of film becoming mediocre game. Surprise surprise.

This is one game that isn’t getting off the runway anytime soon.

A complete disappointment.

With annoying camera, repetitive gameplay, and brain-dead AI team mates, this is the perfect Christmas gift for someone you dislike.

Good potential wasted. There are much better shooters out there than this.

Too short of an experience, most XBLA titles last longer than this one.

There wont be many people that will enjoy Avadon HD. Unless you are hard core fan of old school RPG, give this a miss.

With annoying camera, repetitive gameplay, and brain-dead AI team mates, this is the perfect Christmas gift for someone you dislike.

Sadly another victim of a failed movie tie-in game.

Sure, the visuals are hauntingly striking from beginning to end but art style can only carry a game so far. Without enough interesting mechanics and a meaningful narrative, playing Madness Returns became tiresome very quickly.

With simplistic puzzles and lack of any real ‘epic’ battles, this is one game you can miss.
