If you play Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, you will be haunted with a dull presentation combined with ordinary gameplay with no differentiation whatsoever.

Boring, repetitive gameplay, uninspired level design and pathetic voice-overs are just part of the reason why Iron Man is destined to become a video store rental rather than a full price purchase.

Although it’ superior to the PlayStation 2 version, there still lacks an overall polish and depth to make it stand out from the crowd. Best left for die-hard fans only.

Full of glitches, boring modes and a poor frame-rate at times. We have given it exactly the same score as "DRIV3R" and who actually enjoyed that game? Avoid it and you’ll be happy, and we’ll be happy.

An interesting, plague-filled Middle Ages premise and decent combat are let down by some poor presentation and seriously questionable AI issues.

It may amuse the really small ones, but unless you've got the memory of the goldfish you're going to spend your time catching, this one's probably worth avoiding.

In the end, Law & Order: Legacies just feels like you're watching a slightly interactive episode of the TV show.

Shaun White Skateboarding isn't worthy of your time, your patience or most importantly - your money.

Unfortunately with average presentation and a distinct lack of options the game is only really recommended to those who thrive on the idea of playing chess via the Xbox 360.

A better effort for the series but unless you live and breath Ford, there are much better options out there.

At its core Mage Night Apocalypse is, although not brilliant, at least passable. However, the fact that the game is hampered by numerous interface problems means it can only be recommended to those obssessed with the Mage Knight universe, or those that want to play every RPG there is.

The atmospheric presentation of Microbot is top-notch for a downloadable title. But for a game that promises to be an action shooter, the severe lack of action throughout a significant portion of the title makes this one game that should be left to flat line on the operating table.

An addition to the long line of adventure video games that will leave players feeling cold where gameplay is concerned. Suda 51 fans should play it for the story and the music, nothing more.

A budget title that very much feels like a budget title. The interface is clunky, the gameplay can be slow and each title has a few problems, you've really got to enjoy these board games to get any fun out of this title.

A somewhat interesting action/RPG title underneath all the terrible flaws.

Slow, mindless and dreary gameplay deals another blow to Sonic's struggle to survive in the 21st century.

Such a broken game that you'd be better off waiting for NBA Live 08 to hopefully rectify some critical issues.

American Conquest: Divided Nation's steep learning curve, dated mechanics and overly demanding system requirements are likely to prevent all but the most dedicated war gamers from enjoying its take on 19th Century warfare.

Under-use of the Marvel license, focus on style over substance and a rushed developer have ensured that Marvel Nemesis will be the turkey of the EA holiday lineup.

PixelJunk Racers is a basic game, not basic in the sense that it's easy to pick the game up (but it is) but basic in the sense that the game can be a little bit too boring.

Golden Axe: Beast Rider had the potential to be the second coming of the Golden Axe franchise, instead it left fans of the long-running series mulling over what could have been.

24 lacks the focus and innovation to make it stand out from the crowd, and is yet more proof that throwing as many ingredients into the pot as possible rarely yields favourable results.

It's a soccer trivia game, no more and no less. It's aimed at hardcore soccer fans, but we're pretty sure hardcore soccer fans would rather be playing the likes of FIFA.

With such a desirable concept, it's a shame the game hasn't been fleshed out to any great extent. Hopefully future instalments (if any) can provide higher levels of interaction and playability.

An uninspired game, Midway tried to turn the franchise into something it clearly isn’t and as such the game ends up being boring and generic.

Rumble Roses XX seems to be more of an exercise in voyeurism for young teenage boys than a serious wrestling game.

Players would be better off waiting until the show comes around again to spend that sort of money on sideshow games.

Conflict: Denied Ops is a mediocre first-person shooter with average gameplay. With so many flaws, this game is a tough sell at its current premium price.

Damnation is an unfinished title with a concept and scale to rival some of the best shooters on the market. Sadly, the poor execution makes you wonder how great this title could have been.

Regardless of whether or not it was a good idea to make SWAT: Target Liberty for the PSP, it's quite a poor game either way.

Dragoneer's Aria could have been a good game, but the dreadful battle system, lacklustre story and average presentation make it very difficult to recommend.

Brunswick Pro Bowling could have been an extension of the bowling found in Wii Sports. Unfortunately, by making the game too difficult most players are best left to playing the bowling game that came free with their Wii.

StormRise is a project that has a great concept behind it, but fails to execute it with grace.

A far cry from the quality we've come to expect from the series over the years.

Monster Jam isn't an overly bad game, it just doesn't do anything to differentiate itself from other racers - there are a few flaws which result in an average game.

Unless you are a hardcore Warriors fanatic, Warriors Orochi 2 offers nothing more than button mashing monotony at its finest.

While it is clear most of the time what the developers were trying to achieve, The First Templar is a bland, repetitive game that lacks the level of polish that most games nowadays have to be considered average.

Even if its only purpose was to lure speed-hungry maniacs off our roads, thereby saving hundreds of lives each year, it still wouldn't be worth it.

The slow, frustrating and difficult ride that is Ape Escape is another in a long line of failures of titles trying to moot the need for PlayStation Move.

Empire Earth III ultimately proves to be a predictable, tired, uninspired lump of a game.

Unforgivable mistakes leave Brink sitting alone in the corner crying, thinking about where it all went wrong.

It's not that Heatseeker is a horrible game; it just never aspires to be anything more than an average one.

While Metropolismania 2 tries to blend elements from Animal Crossing and Sim City, it is poorly executed. The game feels like a chore, gets repetitive and frustrating, and won’t maintain your interest for long.

A serviceable adventure game that does a few things new but is unlikely to tide anyone over or bring back renown to the adventure genre.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory tries so much, and yet fails on so many levels. Unless you're a true fan of the franchise, we'd advise you to steer clear.

If you’re a pool enthusiast who finds they can’t get a table at the pub, then Actua Pool will fix your cravings, just don’t go expecting anything special.

While older players will find some brainless fun in The Incredible Hulk, the simple gameplay would more likely to suited to a younger audience.

A bad port of a great game. It should never have been shoved onto the 3DS and it doesn't come close to the quality of the original Chaos Theory.

Vampire Rain is simply a sloppy, masochistic mess that wastes an otherwise solid concept and functional form.

For gamers that are fascinated by the Monster Hunter Portable phenomenon our advice is to forget the imitator and head straight for the real deal.

Shadow the Hedgehog could signal the death of Sonic spin offs, the title tries too hard to be impressive and ultimately fails miserably.

Beat Down makes us feel bad - we wanted it to be good, Cavia put in the ideas that could have made the game good, but failed to deliver on the execution - the despicable quality of voice acting just seals the deal.

Despite the fact it looks rather pretty, Genji: Days of the Blade is a poor effort that does just about everything worse than its predecessor.

A generic platformer to say the least. It is obvious the game’s focus is on the franchises rather than the core gameplay mechanics. One for the diehard fanatics only.

Kit tries hard to win your heart, but sadly the repetition, disappointing controls and level design stop her from being able to.

Valhalla Knights is quite possibly the least fun you'll have with a video game this year.

The graphics are pretty, though everything else feels incredibly ordinary, with the intentions solely being focused on tacking Garfield’s name onto a lifeless affair. The game is far too simple and offers very little to anyone who buys it – there are much better alternatives available.

Kids who loved the movie will like the game. Everybody else will be bored to tears.

Even if it is considered just a kids game, it still doesn't make the grade. That is even with all the conventions that have been borrowed and all the variety that it tries to provide.

A real slap across the face to Matrix fans. Do yourselves a favour and take the blue pill.

As yet another uninspired victim of its now dated and unwelcome subject matter, Frontline: Fields of Thunder completely misses the bounds made in today’s PC real-time strategies.

A quick and dirty port of a current generation game is a nasty move on behalf of Activision, especially when the Xbox 360 offers much more compelling software for a similar price.

Sprung is a missed opportunity. Who knew dating could be so boring?

The Shoot is an uninspired on-rails shooter that fails to capture the imagination it desires to make real and simply remains below average.

Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll isn't a terrible RPG, it's just a forgettable one.

It's a missed opportunity weighed down by cumbersome and lacklustre design. The multiplayer provides some fun, but with Mario Kart on it's way, it's worth neither the hassle or expense.

It's a shame that a decent IP has succumb to so much average, derivative, and plain boring gameplay.

A below average title that has been rushed to the Xbox 360. The game features poor AI, no challenge, glitches, boring levels and a minimalistic moveset.

It’s main problem is definitely its “on the rails” approach towards the gameplay side of things and its combat system is less than perfect.

Alien Syndrome is a generic update and a game that is easily forgotten.

Some moments of Jurassic Park: The Game evoke the atmosphere of the films quite well, but unfortunately it's a game where the player ultimately feels unnecessary.

Ty 3 isn't a bad game, taking its target demographic and budget price into account.

Spongebob Squarepants and Friends Unite! will provide a bit for the fans but anyone looking for co-op action should look elsewhere, even if they’re under ten.

Ultimately, Worms: Open Warfare feels really undercooked. Everybody knows that there’s potential for a good Worms game on the DS – you’ve got the Wi-Fi online play, stylus allowing for mouse-like precision and all of that jazz, but Open Warfare doesn’t exactly make good use of any of these features. Regardless of that, the biggest insult is that the title can’t even hold up against its ageing predecessors – it really feels like the product was slapped together and shipped out as cheaply as possible.

Despite solid foundations and some good ideas, the pursuit of unreasonable design goals and terrible executions mean that Sniper: Ghost Warrior fails to make the passing grade.

A misguided concept results in the worst Super Monkey Ball game to date. Wait for the next-generation sequel later this year.

Driver 76 is nothing more than another generic attempt at a free-roaming action game with very little in the way of redeeming features.

A Scooby Doo game that borrows the mechanics of the LEGO titles but forgot to borrow the fun.

A sub-standard mini-game compilation that lacks the appeal of other 'brain games'.

According to Sony, stripping a game of it's most distinguished component is a sure way to achieve success.

One of the worst Nintendo licensed products released in the last few years. We question how this got the Nintendo gold seal.

Ape Academy fails on all levels as a mini-game collection. Even if the lack of vareity and modes are negligile, the control and balance kill any possibilty of redemption.

Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends shows just how little milk Koei has left in the proverbial cow.

The gameplay is repetitive and there's hardly any support from the cast of the film.

The Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection is a package that will truly inspire nostalgia, for better or for worse.

Even Hellboy fans will not find much fun in this title thanks to the dreadfully uninspired game design. If you really must play it, at least wait until it's circulating the bargain bin.

If this is the best example of the PSP’s capabilities, the developers are better off making a different game because the load times/screens make the game lose portable appeal and a lot of functionality as a game in general.

Emergency Heroes is a below average game that is ultimately far too dull to be enjoyable.

Yar's Revenge is an awful rail shooter experience with so many shortcomings that there is hardly anything redeeming about it.

With its familiar but poorly implemented game mechanics, The Wonderful End of the World comes across as trying to be a PC take on the Katamari series. But for the USD$9.99 price tag, you're better off saving the money for something else.

It seems Studio London has ignored everything anybody disliked about the two Getaway titles and just included the problems in Gangs of London. This results in poor AI, a terrible aiming system, repetitive missions and a sporadic frame-rate.

Cold War seems to lack the two main components that are crucial to a stealth/espionage game - a solid narrative and a competent stealth system. Combine that with a short overall length, and you've got no real reason to play it.

If you’ve played "Ford Racing 2" then you have essentially played Ford Racing 3. The games are practically the same except with a few new cars and some different modes. This is extremely disappointing and the game should be so much better. There is nothing in Ford Racing 3 that we haven’t seen elsewhere done much better.

Power Rangers: Super Legends is a generic beat-‘em-up. The game’s AI is limited, and there are only a few redeemable features. Unless you’re a die-hard fan, then there is little on offer for you to enjoy.

Legends has ruined many of the fun elements of previous Stronghold games, and reuses clichéd real-time strategy themes such as dragons and magic that really make no sense at all to the final product.

With the wonderful "Street Fighter 3" and "Guilty Gear X2 Reload" on the Xbox, there's really no need to even touch this despite its low price.

Mad Tracks not only feels like a game that's designed to get as much money out of consumers as possible, it also lacks a real sense of speed and feels uninspired.

A lackluster first person shooter, the game is not only let down by the disappointingly forgettable story, but the horrendous gameplay.
