    • 45 Critic Score
    The game becomes repetitive and boring after just half an hour and the gameplay is just too dull.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    If you play Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, you will be haunted with a dull presentation combined with ordinary gameplay with no differentiation whatsoever.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    An interesting, plague-filled Middle Ages premise and decent combat are let down by some poor presentation and seriously questionable AI issues.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    In the end, Law & Order: Legacies just feels like you're watching a slightly interactive episode of the TV show.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Shaun White Skateboarding isn't worthy of your time, your patience or most importantly - your money.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    A better effort for the series but unless you live and breath Ford, there are much better options out there.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    A somewhat interesting action/RPG title underneath all the terrible flaws.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Slow, mindless and dreary gameplay deals another blow to Sonic's struggle to survive in the 21st century.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Such a broken game that you'd be better off waiting for NBA Live 08 to hopefully rectify some critical issues.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Rumble Roses XX seems to be more of an exercise in voyeurism for young teenage boys than a serious wrestling game.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Players would be better off waiting until the show comes around again to spend that sort of money on sideshow games.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
