    Sure, Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 does absolutely nothing to push the genre forward; but it's hard to deny that the game is a very fun distraction while it lasts.

    Mutant Nightmare is simply a fun game. It doesn't bring anything revolutionary to the table, but it is very entertaining.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    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.

    Heck, I could have watched 12 hours of The Weather Channel and had more fun and seen better graphics. The real downer is that the only segment of the war left for a third game is Dana Sterling’s story, known the world over to be the most melodramatic and least exciting chunk of the Robotech mythos.

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

    Sound is almost embarrassingly unremarkable.

    Just a step back and another nail in the coffin of the 2-D fighter.

    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.

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

    I was very surprised with Squad Command. The Action Point system is deep, well balanced, and always keeps the game entertaining.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    No, it’s not perfect and isn’t innovative, but it doesn’t pretend to be. It is a good romp of a FPS, quick and dirty, with a good blend of play styles and game elements.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    The game really holds no value for anybody outside of a Naruto fan, and even then, this game is simply not worth the money and frustration required for it.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The extremely slow pace, the blending of background into foreground, and the cheap audio samples all point to a bad game. My game even froze up while I was playing.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The one major downside seems to be that the character's moves list is fairly limited, so it does not take very long to get accustomed to each one.
    • 56 Metascore

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

    If you are looking for an entertaining stealth game, you should probably look elsewhere.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The combat, plain and simple, feels hurried. That isn't excusable. Add in the fact that there are just so many great fighting games available on the Live Arcade right now, and there's no reason to even consider buying this game.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You want to take this game seriously, you can do that. You want to goof around and draw naked stick figures, you can do that.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun diversion for fans of either the iconic comic book character or the shooter genre in general.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Dynasty Warriors Advance just isn't a good game. The combat style synonymous with the series simply didn't make the transition from console to handheld well in any way.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As nice as it was to return to the space-combat genre, particularly seeing as how this was a Trek game, I was, in the end, left a bit flat by Legacy's final presentation.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A pretty average-and notably short-videogame.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The game, while pretty, really took a nose dive in the gameplay department. Looks can't save a crappy game, and that is proven once again here.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Monkey Ball 3DS is not a terrible game; it is just very light on content.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Instead of focusing on one major aspect of the game, the developers seemed to try and cram too much into this DS title, causing each style element to become watered down in the gameplay department.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    Just about every other tactics game is better than this game. Stay away.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    If you really need the urge to play through a game as a sniper just pick up any other FPS game and only play it with a sniper rifle, or play Modern Warfare's sniper stage, or experience the sniper dual in Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    It's got nasty graphics mixed with almost decent graphics, unbalanced controls, and completely lackluster sound.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    For those that are looking for more Majesty this is the perfect option, although this addition isn't going to convince anyone to run out and buy it.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A good game. It is fun, humorous, and very pick-up-and-playable. But the bugginess and extremely short length of the campaign mode can push some gamer's away. Like that like girl you met in Vegas, your time spent will be short, but oh so sweet.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Certainly not one that will turn heads or be remembered by anyone, other than fans of the series, after a few weeks. Wait for the bargain bin.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The game play suffers tremendously from lack of variation and any type of depth.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Spiderman Friend or Foe contains nothing but broken gameplay and was created to make a quick buck from the ignorant consumer.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Everything about the game feels half-hearted: the bland virtual world, the haphazard integration of the Virtua Fighter characters, and the uninspired environments.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    As it stands, Sonic Unleashed is not the drastic reboot they claimed it would be. The problem the game faces once again is focus.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    However, if you're craving narrative depth, sound reasoning, and believable motivation to sit firmly behind your violent malevolence, you might want to hold off for something better.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    This game is like your Mom telling you to do all your homework and chores before you can go outside and play.

    Rainbow Island Revolutions is a joke.
    • 53 Metascore

    As a whole, Women's Murder Club: Games of Passion was a laid back and interesting game for the Nintendo DS.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Get this one if World Heroes was a major part of your childhood. Maybe. Everyone else can steer clear, and pick up one of the many other quality titles from SNK if you want a fighting game fix.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    No where near as good as the other versions of the game. In fact, the unusual control scheme is so messed up, I think I would rather play Spider-Man 2 or Ultimate Spider-Man on Gamecube through backwards compatibility on my Wii than play this new version.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rather than taking an average game and making it fun like it was intended, it took a decent game and turned it to crap.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    The disc's overall presentation values are terrible but this is currently the only way to play Sega Bass Fishing and Space Channel 5: Part 2 on your 360.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    To be frank, even if I hadn’t played this game as a kid, I would have bought it; my man crush on XSeed is enough for me, but I can’t recommend this game for anyone who hasn’t played the MMO beforehand.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    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.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Everything about the game feels half-hearted: the bland virtual world, the haphazard integration of the Virtua Fighter characters, and the uninspired environments.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Transformers is nothing special but it will entertain as a decent rental and it should be noted that it is better than your average movie licensed game.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cautiously buy the game for pure laugh value. Don’t get it expecting a fun gameplay experience.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Other genre entries could learn a thing or two from this game for multi-functional weapons and minimized load times.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    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.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    For 800 MS Points, it might not be worth the cash considering there are other beat'em up alternatives on the XBLA. It certainly can provide a challenge, but many gamers today may not have the attention span for modern side-scrolling beat 'em ups such as this.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    I don’t know how to put this nicely…but Indianapolis 500 Legends is just a terrible game. Really, there’s just not much that it does right, and not even racing fans would find this especially fun.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    It is not that Ex-Patriot is a bad game, it is just that there are better and smoother alternatives on the XBLA marketplace. Unfortunately, if you want a more enjoyable experience (that also costs less and has an entertaining co-op feature), check out the original version.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    There are still a wealth of unexplored plot ideas nestled in the game’s impressive back-story- too bad they decided to rush the actual game out the door in such an incomplete state.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Including the original Narc as an unlockable extra is a definite bonus but, in the end, lackluster gameplay and a glitch ridden presentation make this latest iteration of Narc difficult to recommend-even at its reduced $19.99USD price point.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    The stealth gameplay has been done better countless times, and the combat is just plain bad.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    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.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    X-Blades feels like an incomplete game.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    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.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Even for a point-and-click adventure game, I found Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None to be long on wind and short on intrigue.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    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.
    • 50 Metascore

    This is one budget title to avoid.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    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.
    • 50 Metascore

    A technically functional first-person shooter that may prove to expand our expletive vocabulary and, in turn, will leave any seasoned gamer with a sour taste in their mouth.

    Adrenalin Misfits is basically what you would assume for a launch title of a new system. It means well, but falls short of being that fun killer app that you hoped for.

    With all the great First Person Shooters released in the last year, it only takes a minute of gameplay to see why Payback is lacking.

    If you like flight-sims, definitely try a demo of this game at least and make your own opinion. If you aren't familiar with this genre though, stay away and go spend your money on something more fun, like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World maybe.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    In all honesty, this game is kind of misleading and has a great loss of potential.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Just Dance is the sort of game that you should know if you’re going to hate it or not just from taking a moment to examine the box. If the thought of recreating Katy Perry and Kylie Minogue videos in your living room makes you want to bash your head into a wall, then you probably don’t need me to tell you that this game will drive you to act on that desire.

    Namco Museum Remix is a decent compilation, but it will have gamers wanting more, especially for the higher price point.

    Learning the game's controls (once you get them configured that is) doesn't take long, but Legend of Jack Sparrow's use of save points really becomes frustrating very quickly.

    Spitfire Heroes: Tales of the Royal Air Force starts in the right direction with tight play control, but suffers from a high difficultly factor and empty/plain environments.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    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.

    Apparently, the best way to make a game about an energy drink is to make poor-man’s version of DDR using a stylus to draw lines.

    • 48 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    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.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    Trying to pass this disc off as a game is an insult to video games. If you want to see naked females, then rent a porno. If you want to play mini games, play "Mario Party" or "Wario Ware." If you want to play a trivia game, then play "You Don’t Know Jack" or "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." Mixing all these elements into an Xbox game is ridiculous.

    Sonic Free Riders is the Mario Kart of Kinect, but the unresponsive control scheme will have players aching for a standard controller. If you have the patience to deal with the laggy control scheme, you will find that there is a decent amount of content in Free Riders; too bad most players won't ever want to see it.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    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.

    Fish Tycoon is a game that could easily be a great addition to the simulation video game genre, but it is flawed with overly complicated menus and a weak graphical coat of paint.

    It's neither too short nor too long, and the few genuinely pulse-pounding battles are worth the price of admission.

    Value is a relative term normally; it’s different for each person, but not in this case. The only convincing reason to purchase this game is as an alternative to a lobotomy.

    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.
