It might be okay on a mobile phone but you'll want to reverse the charges for this on Xbox Live Arcade.

Harry's film tie-in career ends with an inappropriately bland third person shooter, that is severely lacking in any kind of magic.

Praey For The Gods attempts to do far too much with obviously limited resources and the end result is a buggy, frustrating chore that at no point comes to close to doing anything as well as Shadow Of The Colossus, let alone bettering it. Like a bad pub tribute band, its only real accomplishment is making you appreciate the original even more.

The least hand-crafted horror game ever, whose legion of design missteps and tepid scares make the worst of an already clichéd set-up.

A highly peculiar social game that seems to revel in the mundanity of its gameplay, despite some intriguing ideas and visuals.

The potential for an exciting period strategy game is clear but that only makes the buggy mess of unbalanced combat and simplistic tactical decisions all the more frustrating.

The 3DS did not need two Ridge Racer style arcade racers for its launch, least of all one as badly made as this tiresome wannabe.

It has admirable intentions, but this misguided role-player proves a quiet life is rarely an entertaining one when it comes to video games.

Elite Squad is a blandly generic gacha game, with tedious, tactics-free, but mercifully brief gun battles tacked onto the front end.

A shallow and unambitious tech demo, of the sort that console launches specialise in. The action works perfectly well but it’s instantly repetitive to the point of inanity.

ModNation Racers was never top draw but this drags a previously competent franchise into the bowls of low budget cash-in hell.

It’s obviously been made on the cheap, but that’s no excuse for the legion of technical problems and the embarrassingly unsophisticated script of this obnoxious action game.

The evil twin to Zelda: Phantom Hourglass shows just how bad broken touch-screen controls can be.

A sci-fi shooter-meets-RPG sabotaged by a lack of plot, weak character progression, and sluggish combat.

Viewed as a visual novel where you have to sit through large numbers of identical, non-interactive fight scenes, you could enjoy it purely for its plot and characters, but this is not a game in the conventional sense.

The X-Men don't have a great history in video games but this is possibly their worst outing yet and offensively poor value for money even for fans.

An extremely insubstantial Star Wars pod racing themed VR and mixed reality experience, that is technically competent but whose greatest value is in demonstrating the limitations of AR as a concept.

Nintendo hobble their excellent old GameCube sports game with dreadful new motion controls.

A Fisher Price version of Earth Defense Force could have been fun, but this doesn't even try to offer any lasting entertainment, let alone value for money.

There’s the endoskeleton of a good movie adaptation here, but with dire graphics, dull combat, and tedious missions this low budget shooter is very easy to resist.

One of the worst introductions to Pokémon - and gaming in general - a small child could suffer. The video games equivalent of corporal punishment.

It often seems like you're making more effort in the game than the developers did, with this miserable showcase for PlayStation Move.

Despite the return of Zipper this repeats all the same mistakes of the last game and seems even more old-fashioned and generic as a result.

You'll be begging for mercy after just a few hours with this distressingly poor online shooter.

Bad movie tie-ins are hardly a new phenomenon but never before has so much potential been wasted on so uninteresting a video game.

The fake game hero stars in another fake parody, which hits neither its comedy or gameplay targets.

It looks like Metal Slug but it certainly doesn’t play like it, which would be fine if only the strategy gameplay had any real depth – or the microtransactions were less obnoxious.

A steaming pile of robot parts that seems to go out of its way to appear more repetitive than it is.
