Crime Lab: Body of Evidence is undeniably an ambitious game, but it comes off as below average due to its strange attempt to blend the accessibility of casual games with the tedious and confusing puzzles found in lackluster adventure games.

I could recommend this game if it came with a download code for the amazing soundtrack, but since that isn't the case, only the die-hard Sega junkies need apply here.

Am I glad to see this Dreamcast title on XBLA? Yes. It is just too bad a little more work didn't go into the porting process.

The initial game is only three or four hours long, but the high score tables and somewhat mysteriously appearing achievements lend it decent replay value.

To put it as simply as possible, this is one terrible fighting game.

Even though it looks and sounds great, with plenty of extras to keep players going, the game that all of this nice presentation rests upon is an unplayable mess.

Simply put, the entire game is one huge mess that is caked with technical problems which makes the game boarderline unplayable and definitely not entertaining. .

With such a vast library of interesting and fun to play DS games available, this game is doomed to sit in cardboard displays of bargain games across the country, and for good reason.

Unless you are being forced at gunpoint to buy a DS game for a gamer that you strongly dislike, there is no reason to buy or play Monkey Madness: Island Escape.

It isn’t very exciting, which may be disappointing for people who expect the game to have any sort of attitude or personality beyond its atrocious music, but it works decently and has a great deal of unadvertised potential as a relaxation aide for stressed out people that have a fondness for ATV racing.

Adventure games are not inherently boring, and neither are murder mysteries, but all of the pointless procedure that this game throws at you will, at least as you play it, make you forget all of the enjoyment that you ever got out of either of those things.

I can’t say anything “nice” about this game. So do yourself a favor, save your money and go buy a good game, like Little King’s Story.

With no multiplayer options and an extremely weak tutorial system, it isn’t hard to see that Jewel Master Egypt was created with a tight budget. But with flawed game design, frustrating level structure, and inaccurate style control, DS owners are much better off looking elsewhere for their puzzle gaming fix.

If you want the real Diner Dash experience it on XBLA or on PC.

As a whole, Chronicles of Mystery: The Tree of Life is an average game that could keep adventure gamers busy until they finish and forget it.

As I actually played Vegas Party, though, I realized that I’d rather be alphabetizing my CD collection than finishing up the game.

I’m a gamer who regularly plays adventure games with at their core are nothing more than glorified fetch quests, but I just can’t bring myself to call this game an “adventure” because it isn’t an “adventure.” A better word to use is “job” because it is work to have to play this game.

It is of the lowest quality.

It is difficult to deny that Monster Trucks Mayhem has a very precise purpose and audience in mind while playing it, watching others play it, or even while looking at the box, but it is essentially successful at what it sets out to do.

From the glitchy programming, the poor graphical quality, a camera that never listens to the player, and horrific level design, Brave: A Warrior’s Tale is an incomplete product.

The music is simple, though repetitive and the graphics are actually pretty good compared to the game play. If I was a little kid and my parents bought me this game, I’d get a few good days of play out of it before trading it in for a well made game… or any game really.

It is quite obvious that Puzzle Kingdoms had a low budget to work with. They tried to recreate Puzzle Quest to make another quick buck, but fell completely flat.

The entire product feels rushed and is definitely of budget title quality.

X-Blades feels like an incomplete game.

Fans of the show will appreciate this title more, but I cannot even recommend playing past level 1 for even the hardcore.

Even for the deeply discounted price of $20, Redneck Jamboree is absolutely not worth the price of admission and should be avoided at all costs. If you need your casual mini game fix, just stick with Wii Sports or Wii Play.

For people who are looking for this particular niche of gaming there really isn’t much. That said this one should still be avoided for any reason besides a few sad laughs at someone else’s expense.

Say, if you buy a 10lbs bag of these chocolate morsels, this crappy Wii game could have been bundled with it...like finding a toy in a box of cereal.

Unless something drastic happens to the series, perhaps THQ is better putting this old dog down.

I can’t really recommend this game to anyone. Even at the budget price of $20, this game isn’t good.

The game isn’t terrible, but it’s definitely bad. Avoid.

Pet Pals: Animal Doctor might have started out as a good idea for children that are interested in animal medicine, but along the way, it ended up being a budget disappointment.

North American Hunting Extravaganza is one of the most broken gameplay experiences I have ever seen in a packaged retail game. If this was a final project for a freshman’s intro college course, then it would be passable. But paying money to have this experience is one upsetting thought.

Just about everything about this title comes up short. Disappointedly short. All the makings of an interesting story and gameplay are here, but it’s as if the developers had a “it’s good enough” attitude.

This is one budget title to avoid.

Neverland Card Battles has more problems than solutions and entertainment value.

Ford: Racing: Off-Road is probably not a game that anyone is going to run out and get, and that is for a very good reason. It should probably be a prize that is handed out for either eating an entire box of cereal or test driving a Jeep.

This game is major disappointment.

Everything about this game sucks.

Through the use of the official Rapala license, this game should be been a killer fishing sim. Instead, this game entirely misses the point.

Mister Slime is one giant bowl of weak sauce; you are better off without.

Everything considered, Double D Dodgeball is a waste of a nice idea.

It is good to run down a nostalgia path from time to time, but I think it is time to let Myst run its course.

In the end, Iron Man is nothing more than another attempt to cash in on a summer blockbuster.

Homie Rollerz is a disaster.

Budget does not have to mean crap, but this game might fool you into thinking that. Iridium Runners is probably the only game I can truthfully say was painful to play.

Should you buy this game? No.

If you’re really into duck hunting you’ll find it more fun to drag your bum out of bed at five in the morning than put this game in your Wii.

Fans of the series will definitely be let down with this Wii exclusive title, but players are better suited to play any later Dynasty Warriors title to get a better gaming experience.

At the end of the day John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland ends up being a broken game that simply can’t find a way to work even though it presents various valid and different design choices.

This game, unfortunately, is one big negative.

A weak attempt to cash in on consumers who don’t know any better.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe isn’t an awful game. It’s just a terribly forgettable game.

Spiderman Friend or Foe contains nothing but broken gameplay and was created to make a quick buck from the ignorant consumer.

The graphics are from about 15 years ago, the programming is poorly coded, and the written dialogue is laugh out loud embarrassing. The budget price of $20 is not worth the frustration.

Even with the budget price of $20, this is not a recommended game. The quirkiness is a little too over the top and the touch controls are shoddy at best.

This game is not even worthy of a rental so I strongly advise that you stay away. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go play a better game…it’s called Sneak King.

Just about every other tactics game is better than this game. Stay away.

Play the DS or 360 version instead.

Continuing the Shrek saga, The Third is a pretty bad game…but any gamer could probably assume that just by looking at the title on the cover of the packaging.

If you value your time, stay away from this game. Go see the movie instead

All in all, this is just a watered down port of an already mediocre game that is nothing short of crappy.

And if you're a fan of The Justice League or The Flash, I emphasize that you should not buy this game, as it may taint how you feel about both of them.

This game might not entertain even young players for very long, considering I finished every level within 35 minutes. Noddy is actually one of the shortest games I have ever played.

The updated version is horribly unbalanced and way too difficult to be enjoyed.

Rainbow Island Revolutions is a joke.

It falters in more aspects than it flies, with horrible AI, and an in game system that makes the game feel like more of a chore than a fun experience.

Project Poseidon is quite the stinker. Low presentation values combined with a gameplay theme that was unique in the mid 90s only harbors repetitive moves and boredom.

Even if the magic drawing system was more than just a fancy way to select "fire" or "cure," it wouldn’t change the fact that this is just a poor RPG with little more than floor after floor of bashing monsters one at a time.

Couple all these problems and shortcomings with the fact that the game can probably be beaten in less than five hours for even the most inexperienced of gamers and you have a game that should've started out as a budget title.

Without Warning has a lot of technical problems, and they can make play repetitive and aggravating. But taking out wave upon wave of terrorists can be fun. It is not high art, but it tries too hard to escape the fun, lighthearted game it really is.

The worst Xbox game I have ever played, period. It is a perfect example of what a modern day FPS should NOT be.

It's still clear that this game has crossed the line from being simple enough for a child into simply being cheap.

There really is no replay value for Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico. It's too easy and it does nothing very well.

Easily the best game in the Evil Dead video game series (steer away from Hail to the King and Fistfull of Boomstick!). However, this isn't saying much. It has its fair share of flaws, including "lazy" graphics, repetitive gameplay, and a glitch-infested level design.

Instead of being a true retro experience to educate modern gamers on gaming's short but sweet history, this compilation feels more like a way to cheat gamers out of $20 by exploiting nostalgia.

The Metal Slug package should be purchased by the most hardcore of fans only.

Even with unlockable content and the film's actors lending their voices, the game is just too linear to be enjoyed.

The ability to play as a non-human Ak’Kan is interesting, but other MMOs have already gone there, and those games don’t lock you into playing just that race for any other character that you make on that server- the developers really need to figure out a way to let me make different raced characters in my other character slots and not make it an all-or-nothing affair.

Unfortunately, in the case of Laser Squad Nemesis, the developers inexplicably chose to turn their back on the 21st century in regards to its online componant, a step backwards that hobbles what might have otherwise been a compelling title.

Not even worthy of a rental. Just stay away.

The stealth gameplay has been done better countless times, and the combat is just plain bad.

While Groove Games' nameless soldier won't dethrone Master Chief anytime soon, an online sortie every now and then could be just what the field doctor ordered.

Encouraging this sub-par budget mentality in the gaming world is only going to breed more.

Dragon Ball Z Sagas is completely broken.

As a game of tactics, it fails completely. As an action game, it doesn't deliver any thrills or sense of style. Ghost Recon 2 simply fails at everything.

The half-decent and fairly challenging gameplay is offset by shoddy graphics, horrible sound, poor voice acting, and shallow character design.

The sad fact is that Robots tries to draw you into a terrible game by way of a pretty package.

Some gaming cynics proudly state that playing videogames is a waste of your time and your life. Unfortunately, for us all, games like FIFA Street prove them right.

There’s no tutorial to ease you into the game, the manual is overly cryptic, there’s no adjustable difficulty level, and combat seems almost intentionally tedious.

Everything about the game feels half-hearted: the bland virtual world, the haphazard integration of the Virtua Fighter characters, and the uninspired environments.

Everything about the game feels half-hearted: the bland virtual world, the haphazard integration of the Virtua Fighter characters, and the uninspired environments.

The measure of satisfaction achieved in reaching the end of the game is no more significant than with any other middle-of-the-road game.

The trial and error form of play becomes tedious, and the game only uses the D-pad or stylus to make selections. Boring is the best and only word to describe this game.

So many things in this game are either unpolished or retarded that it’s hard to care about the subject matter.

If you loved the immersive game play of titles like "Syberia" or "The Longest Journey"... go play those games again, and don’t waste your time with this weak B-grade stinker.

Poor graphics, sub-par sound, game play reminsicent of the Atari games of old and no replay value are to be found… making this an avoidable title at best. Hip Games should have kept the leash on this title, tied it to a pipe in their basement, and denied its very existence.

If you value your intelligence, do not play Elf. It will actually lower your I.Q. and possibly send the human race back in the evolutionary chain about 3,000 years...Elf is probably the worst game for GBA, or any other system for that matter. In fact, this title cannot really been seen as a game because it is so awful. Lifeless animation, one musical track, zero sound effects, and horrible game play concepts actually insult the worst video games ever made.
