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.

Elements of War has hardly any redeeming features to make it a worthy recommendation, and with all the high quality RTS titles already out for PC it is easily overshadowed.

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.

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

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.

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

Quantum Theory is a disgrace to the video game industry.

A spectacular failure in terms of content and technical quality. Don't bother.

Flawed and forgettable. Let this one drown slowly in the deepest pit of Xbox Live.

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

Racket Sports could have been fun and sounds good in theory... but ultimately fails to hold any interest and is a bad example of Move technology.

Not only is this a poor fighting game by Wii standards, this is a massively wasted chance to create something unique and worthwhile. Your money would be better spent in the local arcade.

Do your childhood memories a favour by not playing this.

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.

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

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 quick time diversion and better left for those with strong nostalgic memories only.

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.

Despite a competent basis, Terminator Salvation is bland, empty and anaemic, even by movie tie-in standards.

It looks nice, but even for kids, it's not terribly deep or interesting. You could do a lot better.

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

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.

As satisfying as a sand-ridden shoe, without the fortunate side effect of having gotten some fresh air. Take a ball to the local seaside shingle instead.

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

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.

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

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

Jumper: Griffin's Story is not only one of the worst movie to game adaptations we've ever played, it's quite simply one of the worst games ever.

With technical problems that could retroactively plague any Crusade, Altaïr's Chronicles are best left forgotten.

Alvin and the Chipmunks is a terrible, terrible game. Nobody should have to endure the title.

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.

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

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.

Party Animals is one of the worst mini game compilations released in the past few years. The game is a sad moment for the franchise.

Poorly executed, poor AI and highly repetitive. Even die-hard fans will find it difficult to get enjoyment out of this title.

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.

Unfortunately Acme Arsenal never really delivers. The gameplay is repetitive and bland, never really offering a great deal of enjoyment. One of Bug’s quips as he topples enemies in the game is, “now this is fun.” We’re sorry Bug’s, but you’re sorely mistaken.

Donkey Kong Jet Race is yet another example of the uneventful consequences of uninspired motion controls.

Hot Pixel is the most blatantly derivative product we've seen for years, but to make matters worse, it fails to offer up any sort of compelling gameplay or long term value.

The game becomes repetitive and boring after just half an hour and the gameplay is just too dull.

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.

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.

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

Quirky minigames can be excellent fun, but the best collections offer variety. Spinning a wheel ad infinitum just doesn't cut it.

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.

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.

It's Dynasty Warriors, but it's hideously ugly and devoid of content, and therefore not worth the two hours it takes to beat.

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

It's not outright broken, but is so bland and generic that unless you love the show it's not even worth playing, let alone buying.

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

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.

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.

If the developer’s purpose was to make an outdated and terribly dull game, then they succeeded.

The bottom of the barrel for real-time strategy games.

Fuzion Frenzy 2 is intolerable in single player and is okay in multiplayer, even at a budget price the game doesn't come recommended.

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.

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.

Save your money and take your kid to the zoo.

Monster 4X4: World Circuit is a budget port of an Xbox title, we're getting it almost a year later and at full price. The game wasn't great originally and it still isn't.

One of the worst games of the year and an insult to the original Sonic game.

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.
