The trailers may make the film look like a live action Halo but the game plays nowhere near as well.

The movie quiz series goes multiformat and low budget with less features and generally less fun.

A tragically outdated open world adventure that almost has more in common with Goat Simulator than Grand Theft Auto, despite some moderately entertaining mechanics.

A Monster Hunter clone that copies most of the key features but fails to properly balance any of them - or add any proper new ideas of its own.

A tiresome and unforgiving survival game that purposefully makes things as difficult and repetitive as possible, while offering very little in the way of entertainment.

An interactive movie where the gameplay is as basic and two-dimensional as the story and acting.

A distressingly old school movie tie-in which instead of making imaginative use of the movie's setting creates only a bland copy of the Lego games.

About as new as a fossilised dinosaur egg and just about as fast and exciting, this is a depressingly poor degradation of a once great original.

A very poor first person shooter buoyed up by the promise of things to come, and an impressively ambitious attempt at a cross-format connected universe.

Bizarre sliding block puzzler that despite numerous issues is oddly more tolerable than it should be.

Despite its elegant art style and stirring musical score, it’s crushingly dull. The narratives don’t branch, and with auto-fight turned on, your role is reduced to that of spectator rather than player, and no amount of fourth wall-breaking humour or twisted fairy tale storylines make up for the boredom at its core.

Some thought has clearly gone into making this an entertaining game, but sadly not enough money or time.

It looks and sounds the part but this anime tie-in should've worried about more than just presentation.

A loving piece of fan service that looks and sounds just like the anime, but unfortunately it plays like a bad Xbox 360 era open world game.

Without virtual reality support to increase the novelty this this would-be walking sim proves a disappointingly bland experience.

The VR immersion is great and the setting certainly has potential, but with no depth or challenge to the gameplay this trumped-up tech demo lacks teeth.

Another big budget game more obsessed with impersonating its favourite films than creating any genuinely new script or gameplay ideas.

An acceptable enough lightgun game, but a poor Ape Escape title. More importantly it's still no reason to own a PlayStation Move.

SOCOM suddenly feels very old, with a shabby, low content sequel that can't compete with modern shooters.

Outdated action platformer that despite all its talk of madness is far too mundane in both design and visuals to justify its mammoth playing time.

It looks nice, but there’s absolutely nothing going on underneath the veneer, apart from collecting currencies to perform upgrades that let you continue fighting more identical battles, while the game patiently tries to hawk its microtransactions.

Horribly disappointing spin-off that replicates the formula but not the soul of the low budget rentakill shooter.

Every year this moribund franchise goes without a complete overhaul the more obvious and unacceptable its half-decade old problems become.

Vin Diesel proves not to have the magic touch after all, with this technically inept Driver wannabe.

It doesn't lack for ambition, but in terms of finesse, innovation and execution this remains a poor advert for HD style shooters on the Wii.

It’s clearly been made in a hurry and with no more care than the deeply flawed original, which means only the truly zombie-obsessed should apply.

Despite a fantastic soundtrack and interesting characters, the game’s lack of player choice and clunky writing fails to live up to the gravitas of the series.

There are some clever ideas in this strategy role-player but they're suffocated beneath a weight of banal storytelling and tedious battles.
