Good ideas and good intentions only go so far when the game itself is as incompetently made and balanced as this seriously flawed shooter.

After several patches and months of waiting this may, possibly, become a halfway decent wresting game, but at launch this is the gaming equivalent of Doink the Clown.

No matter what you think of the new movies no franchise deserves a tie-in as timidly generic as this, with painfully bland action and low-tech, not sci-fi, presentation.

A shamefully poor tie-in, even by normal standards, that totally ignores the potential of the license.

Dungeon Keeper is not a video game, not any more. Instead it’s just a virtual beggar, constantly demanding your spare change and offering nothing in return.

A Celtic take on God Of War sounds like a great idea, especially with these graphics, but Bloodforge's only triumph is making its inspiration look even better by comparison.

The worst Contra game ever made and an object lesson in how not to revive a classic franchise, especially as there are multiple unofficial homages that are far superior.

Namco Bandai unleash the God Of Bore, with gameplay and graphics that definitely belong in another age.

Playing as a powerful, rage-filled werewolf should be the perfect set-up for a great video game but Earthblood misses so many obvious opportunities it’s as if the game itself is cursed.

Only the smallest of improvements on the original game and still a shameful waste of the license.

There’s a kernel of an interesting idea here but it’s so grossly underdeveloped that not even the involvement of Neil Gaiman, and a respected developer, can save it.

Time Crisis with Transformers, but not any sense of pace, excitement or fun.

Stamina, the single currency required to progress, arrives in minuscule volumes, making cash payments the only viable route to making headway in this offensively dull and exploitative perversion of a much loved series.

Not only the worst game Platinum has ever made but one of the worst live service titles of any kind, with an especially disgusting attitude towards microtransactions.

Ugly, amateurish and badly made arena-based shooter that relies on a co-op mode nobody will ever play.

It was arguably never very good even back in the day, but playing it now The Chaos Engine’s basic action is hopelessly outclassed by any number of retro and contemporary titles.

Impossibly slow 2D shooter whose only worth is to prove what artistry goes into its betters.

You'll pray for an early release from this cheap and nasty, and strangely belated, TV tie-in.

Although the graphics are adequate, at least in comparison to the rest of the game's failings, all this is really good for is making Kinect Sports look even better by comparison.

Embarrassingly poor medieval brawler that seems completely oblivious to its own absurdity and incompetence.

Another failed Doctor Who tie-in, but one that's especially disappointing because of how much it gets right in terms of the dialogue and visuals.

A return to the very worst standards of video game tie-ins, with terrible gameplay and an equally incompetent attempt to mimic the show's humour.

The corpse of survival horror gets another beating with gameplay as intangible as its ghostly antagonists.

Don't let the subtitle fool you - not even semi-naked girls and/or zombies can save this dire action game.

It seems very unfair to suddenly thrust such a dated game back into the limelight, but it ready would’ve been better if Putty Squad had stayed in retirement.

A virtual peep show that's tragically short on titillation, let alone gameplay or entertainment.

Nobody can have been expecting much from a film tie-in like this but Battleship's first person action still manages to sink well below the bottom of the barrel.

It feels more like an indie team’s first prototype than a new entry in a blockbuster franchise, but the truth is there have still been a lot worse Resident Evil games than this.
