Even if based on a very interesting idea, Dead Alliance pitifully falls due to too many technical problems that make it practically unplayable.

It sports the charismatic characters from the movie, but lacks in variety and player satisfaction. Avoidable.

A short and mediocre game without any specific shining aspects; Indie games can be much better than this.

If the game could have been interesting thanks to some well-thought minigames and charismatic characters, bad Kinect support an very short longevity make it an easily forgettable game.

Naughty Bear shows some good ideas and a great ironic violent vein, but it isn't enough to overcome the general dullness and the lackluster technical realization. It would have surely benefited from more time spent on polishing and adding deeper gameplay.

Interesting ideas like the multiplayer interactions aren't supported by a suitable structure, story and technical execution.

Star Trek fans' hopes for a really good game tied to Roddenberry's franchise are once again crushed. Star Trek disappoints both in the technical and gameplay aspects, trying to emulate other popular titles but failing to do so.

Very simplistic gameplay mainly aimed at kids and casual gamers, mediocre graphics and several problems in controls and camera management ruin a game that maintains as its only bright spot the co-op mode, unfortunately only offline. Forgettable.

Bloodforge isn't a game for anyone, starting from its gory, desaturated visuals to its highly difficult gameplay. Too bad that some flaws, like a bad saves management and imprecise controls, help to steer it more towards a frustrating experience rather than a challenging and rewarding one.

Tennis World Tour feels too incomplete and detached from a real tennis experience to be at least satisfying. A good Career structure and nice graphics aren't enough to counterbalance the bad gameplay and a lack of essential modes, like online support and Doubles.

A mediocre game in every aspect: even if you're a great Iron Man fan, prepare to be disappointed by this shoddy tie-in.

Protocol may have been an interesting experience in VR, but as a classic game it turns out to be a slow, boring, frustrating, sloppy and repetitive action/puzzle game. It could have been more interesting with a deep gameplay redesign, but as it is, we wouldn't recommend it even to die-hard fans of first-person puzzle games.

A good activities and environments variety is ruined by too-monotonous gameplay where, except for climbing, we're asked to repeat very similar moves for each sport.

Prison Break: The Conspiracy offers nothing new under the sun, with a lackluster gameplay and a forgettable story. Lovers of the TV series should keep watching it instead of playing this game.

MotionSports tries to differ from Kinect Sports with a realistic visual approach and more exotic and interesting sports, but it fumbles the execution delivering us an unentertaining and bland experience, partly due to imprecise controls too.

A game that puts all its bets in the good graphics and physics, but neglecting very important things like longevity, plot and gameplay variety. There are game demos out there that offer an highly more rewarding experience than this, and are even free.

A boring and repetitive combat system and and a subpar technical production make The Cursed Crusade an avoidable game; a wasted opportunity to represent a great and charismatic historical period.

Repetitive, boring and quickly tiring: a lazy tie-in with almost no value even to the animated series lovers.

Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad seems to be much older than the three years passed since its first release in Japan: the gameplay is ridiculously simple and seems to be taken from games 20 years old and the plot is trite and uninteresting. Even the bikini-girls-with-blades theme fails to attract, due to disappointing and last-gen worth graphics. Keep away from this game, and your X button will thank you.

THPS 5 is a real cold spike in the franchise lover's hearts: all the good things this series had have been blown away by wrong design decisions, bad gameplay and poor controls.

CrossfireX is, more than any other game, a two-sided coin. On one side we get a lacklustre and disappointing multiplayer component, while on the other we have two compelling, spectacular and creative - even if short - CoD-style campaigns, where Remedy's footprint is clearly visible. As a complete package, it's barely sufficient, but since they can be bought separately at a convenient price, we recommend trying the campaigns if you're into this kind of single-player FPS experience.

Battleship hardly shows value of any kind, except maybe for the board game like tactical sessions, which would have cut a better figure as a Live Arcade game rather than being diluted in a dull retail game.

Just one of many lackluster gaming movie tie-ins, made just to exploit its license. Its only shining point is the good story by Matt Fraction.

Project Root presents a very good base idea, but with a poor implementation; we liked the idea of a top-down 360 degrees non-linear shooter, but its generic art design, many glitches and bad game design decisions keep it from even touching its full potential.

What many were hoping to be one of the first real hardcore Kinect games turned into a very frustrating experience; the core concept is good and it's got some nice visuals too, but the motion control is too cumbersome.

Microids and PlayMagic delivered what looks like an unfinished game, with many bugs hindering the story progression and other problems like the bad enemy A.I., leaving just the original plot and the good cel-shaded graphics as the only positives.

The only interesting part in the new Harry Potter game are the Kinect missions, while the main game fails with a flawed enemy AI and a too easy and linear gameplay.

Super Street: The Game brings back a long lost old school racer feeling, with a lot of variety in game modes and tuning choices. Unluckily it stumbles in an uneven difficulty balance, unpredictable physics and an odd driving model.
