    Dead Block
    The lack of Xbox Live play kills it dead. [Nov 2011, p.107]

    Soldier of Fortune: Payback
    A nasty game through and through. Not in terms of its gore, which just comes off as childish, but in most other respects. [Feb 2008, p.100]
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Knights Contract
    Too punishing to recommend. [Mar 2011, p.100]

    Eragon
    Great things are expected of the Eragon franchise, but this could be a thousand games we've played before. No single feature stands out as special, and the gameplay is all far too familiar.

    Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures
    It isn't a complete mess, but it's hard to imagine just who it was created for. [Christmas 2013, p.107]

    Over G Fighters
    In spite of its unspectacular style and its translation-glitch quirks, Over G is a little weird, but lots of fun. [Aug 2006, p.92]
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Homefront: The Revolution
    Fun, if often frustrating, but far from the revolution we were hoping for. [July 2016, p.80]

    Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2
    Better than the first, but still not brilliant. [Mar 2009, p.93]
    • 49 Metascore

    Windscape
    A mildly entertaining RPG full of technical issues and simplistic combat. [Issue#177, p.88]

    The Legend of Korra
    Platinum is great; this game is not. [Xmas 2014, p.79]

    NFL Tour
    Single player's weak, but multiplayer's great. [Apr 2008, p.87]

    Puzzle Arcade
    Does what it says on the tin rather well. [Mar 2009, p.94]

    • 49 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Fuzion Frenzy 2
    Everything about this game smacks of a half-arsed Xbox Live Arcade title that's blundered into the full retail schedule by accident. [Apr 2007, p.93]

    Duke Nukem Forever
    This genuinely engaging experience is soured not so much by the ropier aspects of the visuals, nor even the fact that the frame-rate plunges into the toilet from time to time, but by the writing, which plays a clear second fiddle to the mishmash of different mechanics.

    Damage Inc.: Pacific Squadron WWII
    A cheap and cheerful sim at a luxury price. [Oct 2012, p.97]

    Dollar Dash
    Let's hope this failed attempt doesn't deter other people from trying. [May 2013, p.85]

    Zombie Wranglers
    A monster mash but no graveyard smash. [Nov 2008, p.101]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 48 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Terminator Salvation
    Do yourself a favour and pick up a decent shooting game, or a head injury, anything's better than this - because otherwise you'll only encourage the creators to churn out another similarly disappointing movie license in six months time.

    • 30 Critic Score
    CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Hard Evidence
    CSI: Hard Evidence isn't a game that can be summed up by a single numbers. Instead, it's best summed up by two words and two numbers - five hours, 1,000 gamerpoints. If you buy this, the only thing that needs investigating is your head.

    Tour de France 2015
    Your presence doesn't seem to matter. [Sept 2015, p.111]

    Fire Pro Wrestling
    About as basic as a wrestling game can get. [Dec 2012, p.101]

    LocoCycle
    Lococycle is as hard to put down as it is hard to love. Even if the comedy scratches your itch, there will be times when the shortage of depth and aversion to polish become impossible to forgive.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Zathura
    Playing Zathura is like being force-fed Saddam Hussein's skid-marked underpants. And we find that kind of thing really upsetting.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Aliens: Colonial Marines
    Colonial Marines can't trade on nostalgia alone... It needed to offer intense combat against an unstoppable force, deft storytelling that matched the cinematic flair of the films, and some new ideas that could have rejuvenated an overexposed franchise. It needed, in short, to be a better game.
