The only thing being scared away by the Wayward Manor’s ghost is this reviewer’s patience.

Woefully inadequate AI makes boring combat frustrating.

Something that will be eagerly demanded by the children of your household, only for that eagerness to be replaced by boredom and irritation.

I have had to concede it a good score in terms of value. Although it has much of the polish of a $100+ title, Xotic can be yours for only 800 Microsoft Points. I'm genuinely impressed by the production values for a game in this league. I just don't want to play it again.

Turbo: Super Stunt Squad will have a limited shelf-life that can be perfectly mapped to the cinema release of the movie and possibly the follow-up DVD sales window. It will entertain fans of the movie over a wet weekend or two, but ultimately the sub-par graphics, limited gameplay, and clunky controls make this game about as flawed as Ryan Reynolds' acting.

Derivative setting, dull NPCs, and clunky combat make The Technomancer an exemplar of lost potential.

Maybe EA Games could rename Part 2 "Harry Potter and the Multiple Revenue Streams". Because if we are going to be honest, that's all this title really is.

I suppose the biggest kick in the nuts from this game was that it took 4GB off my data cap.

Everything about this game is either bog-standard and forgettable (audio and graphics fall under this heading) or broken and un-enjoyable (nearly all of the actual gameplay).

Slightly better than being run over by a tractor.

The gunplay is unimaginative and outwardly unfun.

Bumbling combat, laughable visuals, and terribly overpriced.

It's frustrating. More so because the easy bits are so repetitive and simple, while the tricky bits are random and insane.

If you’re considering this game, stay away. There are better Yu-Gi-Oh! games out there, and there are better digital card games out there. The only reason I can think of to buy this - and there’s no hyperbole here - is for the three exclusive physical cards it comes with.

he Move hardware is great - software like this is drivel.

Zombie Army Trilogy feels exactly like what you think it is – a collection of DLC packages. With a bare-bones frame propping it up, the game is an emaciated experience with an overly ambitious price tag attempting to tie it all together.

I can't quite say that this is the worst Kinect launch game, but it's right up (read: down) there.

Graphically the game would have been very impressive, if it was a launch game for the GameCube.

With workable controls, this could have been a half-decent, low-priced download game. As it stands, however, it's one of the worst games on the platform and one of the worst launch games on any system, ever. Avoid.

While there is some basic fun in blowing things up, random explosions make this game feel like it's trying really hard to get Michael Bay to notice it. The only time I was happy playing the game was when I recognised a cover of The Primatives' Crash was playing in the background.

Overall, Girl Fight feels like a cheap, less fluid (motion-wise), knock off of Dead or Alive. The arcade mode demands you play through at least seven times, which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if this were a better game.

Daylight’s claim to fame is its reported replay value; that no scare will ever be the same twice. While it is technically true that the level geometry does change from playthrough-to-playthrough, the scares certainly see some overlap, and the writing isn’t worth a return visit. There are no nascent ideas in Daylight – just the desperate, flailing attempts to throw every horror cliché at the wall.

Now perhaps I’m just getting too old for this stuff, but it seemed to me that these guys aren’t as funny as they once were.

A game that suffers from its fundamentals. The act of moving your troops around the battlefield, and engaging in combat, is too far removed from the player’s input – leading to frustration rather than gratification.

It's hard to recommend a game like Ecolibrium to anyone but the most bored.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised that ORION: Dino Horde was such a disappointment. The gaming industry has been rife with rumors about scurrilous behaviour concerning a very similar title, Dino Beatdown. ORION: Dino Horde's rough edges suggest that it has been quickly brought to market and cynically shoveled out to gamers in the vain hope that its over the top premise will bring in a few bucks.

Iffy physics, shoddy control, and poor camera direction means that while no compromises were made on the graphics side, the other aspects of the game was not given the same amount of love and care.

Patches may stop the glitches, but I think this space sim is far beyond repair.
