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.

EyePet on PSP is cute, sure, but there isn't much you can do with it aside from simple, boring mini-games and unimaginative augmented reality gimmicks.

Not even the most dedicated fans of the movie will find this game to be of any interest. Children's game or not, The Golden Compass is well below par and not worth your money.

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

A game that had a lot of potential in its concept, but a few solid ideas can't make up for poor gameplay.

A really unspectacular package. The single player campaign is short and lacks variety, there’s nobody to play multiplayer games with, the action itself is confused yet utterly simplistic, and the game fails to graphically compete with titles released four to five years ago on significantly weaker hardware.

The idea is sound, but the execution most definitely isn't.

A poor movie to game adaptation (yes, another one) that has repetitive gameplay and no redeeming features. Johnny Depp has never been in anything so boring.

Budget price point or not, Winback 2: Project Poseidon had the potential to be very, very good. But it’s not. What a shame.

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.

The gameplay is utterly basic, consisting of punching and running, but the co-operative element between two players is quite nice. Kids who loved the movie will no doubt get a kick out of this game.

Monster Madness will make you tear your hair out in frustration before it bores you to death.

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.

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

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

It’s funny how the transition from book, to movie to game can result in a product so absolutely boring and uninspiring. The Da Vinci Code doesn’t have any major flaws, it just has just about no redeeming features.

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

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.

The events are boring, the multiplayer is severely under exploited and the game is unlikely to last you more than an hour.

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

Shrek the Third is a typically generic movie tie-in. Children won't be fooled by the thin gameplay and been-there-done-that feel to the game.

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

The Xbox has far better racing titles available, this game is a budget title and it shows.

A completely unrecommendable mess. Even if you can get past the glaring errors, issues, bugs and problems, there is little that make the game different or more worthwhile than any other FPS ever made.

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

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

Rush'n Attack: Ex-Patriot is a brilliant example of how not to reboot an old franchise.

While the intent was there, Fighters Uncaged comes off as a failed experiment that should be avoided if you're looking to see the potential of Kinect.
