    Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
    The game’s box art does a great job of grabbing the attention of fantasy nerds and most DS owner, but the gameplay is so unbalanced it makes the game impossible.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Shadow the Hedgehog
    Sonic Team really dropped the ball on mission design, the graphics are lackluster, camera control issues can result in needless deaths, and the storyline can be a little hard to follow for anyone that is not a Sonic junkie.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    Cops 2170: The Power of Law
    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.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 24 Critic Score
    Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
    Opening doors by collecting plants and telling other creatures to perform simple tasks through inconvenient button combinations just isn’t that fun.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    Combat: Task Force 121
    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.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Tornado
    If a little more time was spent in development ironing out these kinks, then Tornado could have been a solid form of competition for Katamari Damacy.

    • 48 Critic Score
    Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball
    This game is major disappointment.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Digimon World Data Squad
    All in all, there’s very little reason to get Digimon World: Data Squad. Between the simplistic-yet-frustrating battle system and the absolutely terrible graphics, there just isn’t anything positive to say about the game.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland
    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.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Myst
    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.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    Justice League Heroes
    All in all, this is just a watered down port of an already mediocre game that is nothing short of crappy.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory
    Not even worthy of a rental. Just stay away.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    Brave: A Warrior's Tale
    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.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 22 Critic Score
    Legacy: Dark Shadows
    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.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    0 Day Attack on Earth
    While the concept of the game seems to be sound, a Geometry Wars inspired co-op shooter; everything seems to work against it, especially the price.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Chrysler Classic Racing
    For anyone looking for a racing game on the Wii there are better games out there, but for the kids that get given this by a grandmother looking to recapture her youth could have done a whole lot worse.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    Combat: Task Force 121
    Encouraging this sub-par budget mentality in the gaming world is only going to breed more.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    Garfield Gets Real
    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.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    25 to Life
    This game simply cannot be recommended to anyone: the controls are busted, the AI is pathetic, and even with online play you will grow tired of it within an hour.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Airborne Troops: Countdown to D-Day
    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.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    Ford Racing: Off Road
    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.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Turn It Around
    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.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Bubble Bobble Revolution
    The updated version is horribly unbalanced and way too difficult to be enjoyed.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Hour of Victory
    In summation, all I can say is that, if you really want to get your hands on a WW2 FPS worth playing, get Call of Duty. Anything else will lead to, as the boys in Deep 13 used to say, “Deep hurting! Deep hurting!”
    • 36 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Double D Dodgeball
    Everything considered, Double D Dodgeball is a waste of a nice idea.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    The Wild West
    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.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    M&M's Adventure
    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.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon
    Unless something drastic happens to the series, perhaps THQ is better putting this old dog down.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    ATV Quad Kings
    Like other Zoo games, the music is appropriately rocking for the game content and the graphics are a bit choppy.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    Vegas Party
    As I actually played Vegas Party, though, I realized that I’d rather be alphabetizing my CD collection than finishing up the game.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Women's Volleyball Championship
    Overall, the game seems to exhibit a good simulation of a volleyball game, with an emphasis on many different statistics, and real-life strategies.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 18 Critic Score
    Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green
    The worst Xbox game I have ever played, period. It is a perfect example of what a modern day FPS should NOT be.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    Rapala Fishing Frenzy 2009
    Through the use of the official Rapala license, this game should be been a killer fishing sim. Instead, this game entirely misses the point.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Vampire Rain: Altered Species
    Everything about this game sucks.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Fear Factor: Unleashed
    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.

    World Poker Championship
    Overall, it’s the AI problem that really mars World Poker Championship.

    Ultimate Duck Hunting
    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.

    • 22 Critic Score
    The Island of Dr. Frankenstein
    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.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    Calvin Tucker's Redneck Jamboree
    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.

    Rhythm 'n Notes: Improve Your Music Skills
    This game, unfortunately, is one big negative.
    • 23 Metascore

    Homie Rollerz
    Homie Rollerz is a disaster.

    • 58 Critic Score
    Disney's Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure
    An impressive technical achievement, as it admirably brings the world of Pooh to life with lovingly crafted sights and sounds. But, polish and affection aside, it does lack engaging gameplay, smooth level transitions, and any sense of consuming depth and longevity.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Zoo Vet: Endangered Animals
    The game isn’t terrible, but it’s definitely bad. Avoid.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pet Pals: New Leash on Life
    While not particularly bad, it lacks qualities that appeal to anyone without major interest in the subject matter. But Pet Pals was clearly never meant for a traditional and younger gaming audience. If you care about animals or know someone who does, it might be worth checking out.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Pet Pals: Animal Doctor
    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    Bigfoot: Collision Course
    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Spectromancer
    Spectromancer might not be the best-looking game on PC, and it might not have the best bells and whistles of games that came out in the last 10 years; the one thing that it does have is amazingly fun and deep gameplay. Combined with the pace of the matches and the reasonable, 20 dollar asking price for the game, it seems that anyone who is interested in card games, either casually or seriously should pick this up despite having a few flaws.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    North American Hunting Extravaganza
    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Build 'n Race
    While the ability to steer with the wiimote may be a selling point, I’d much rather have a great racing game with precise controls and intensely accurate graphics. The novelty of building your own tracks is lost if there is no one to share them with.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The Clique: Diss and Make Up
    The Clique has a few bugs, but it plays just like a usual chick flick or high school romance movie—just not on the same echelon as my beloved Mean Girls. With the game’s shopping, dating and pure power-pinkness, The Clique has much potential to be a fun game for younger girls. Just beware of a possibly short replay value and play time.

    Chicken Blaster
    It is of the lowest quality.

    • 44 Critic Score
    Monster Trucks Mayhem
    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.

    Shimano Xtreme Fishing
    Shimano, not taking itself too seriously, will provide a decent amount of entertainment…for about the first two times you play it.

    Diner Dash: Flo on the Go
    If you want the real Diner Dash experience it on XBLA or on PC.
    • tbd Metascore

    Wedding Dash
    The game is addictive enough that I’d find myself seeing angry guests with red thought bubbles above their heads when I closed my eyes.

    Remington Great American Bird Hunt
    If you have grown tired of shooting Mii’s in Wii Play, then perhaps you might want to consider this game…if you see it in the bargain bin for $10.

    Daniel X: The Ultimate Power
    While this is still mostly a game for the younger crowd, that’s not to say us grown-up gamers can’t enjoy it. It’s a solid action platformer that you can play without cringing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    T.A.C. Heroes: Big Red One
    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Armored Core: Last Raven Portable
    All praise for the game aside, this should probably only be purchased for people who have bought every other title on the PSP. The game gets rather difficult early on, is rather unforgiving, and seems to expect a level of knowledge out of the player that no one new to the series should have to go through.
    • tbd Metascore

    Family Gameshow
    If you need a party game for your Wii, Family Gameshow is not the best or most polished option available, but at $20, it’s easy to recommend.

    Monkey Madness: Island Escape

    Wipeout: The 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.

    Mahjongg Artifacts
    If you've ever played mahjongg solitaire then you've already played Mahjongg Artifacts. If you like spending money on games you could get for free, go ahead and buy it for the portability, it's definitely not the worst game out there and it is a really good time waster. Just don't expect more than what it really is.

    King Arthur: The Saxons
    The Saxons expansion is just what anyone who enjoys this brand of RTS games is looking for, and when combined with King Arthur it is hard to not suggest this game to anyone.

    Alpha and Omega
    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.

    Jewel Master: Cradle of Athena
    If you've finished some of the other, better, match-3s available and are dying to spend 20 dollars on yet another one, there's nothing bad enough about Jewel Master: Cradle of Athena to warrant a wild warning against playing it.

    Qlione Evolve

    NeoGeo Heroes: Ultimate Shooting
    NeoGeo Heroes: Ultimate Shooter is an interesting concept as it gives players a new way to experience their favorite NeoGeo-based characters, but the game's overall presentation suffers from many minor flaws.

    NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits
    While the asking price is rather low it is still about five times higher than it needed to be. While Nyx doesn't ever manage to do anything truly offensive during the course of play, most of the time invested would probably be used better somewhere else.

    • 38 Critic Score
    The Polar Express
    Receiving this game as a Christmas present is worse than getting a lump of coal. The bogged down play control, the tasteless graphics, and weak game play concepts make the The Polar Express a title that should be avoided at all costs.

    Codename: Kids Next Door: Operation S.O.D.A.
    This game will probably please the young fans of the television show for its easy pick up and play attitude. However, the game forces players into playing the same level over and over with little variation. And there is just way too much bottle cap collecting.

    Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus
    Flaws aside, this is the best young girl targeted GBA game to come out in a long time. If I had a young daughter, I would very much rather buy her this Barbie game than any other children's game including That's So Raven, Disney Princess, or any Shrek game.

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

    Elf: The Movie
    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.
