    Jackass the Game
    Jackass The Game is a game that is enjoyable while it lasts, but once you've completed it there isn't much reason to come back and play the title again.

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner
    A polished, if uneventfully designed episode, better suited to the Homestar Runner crazy-go-nut.

    Heroes Over Europe
    If you're looking for a straightforward World War II-themed aerial combat game, Heroes Over Europe is worth a look. While competent, there are better flying titles worth your attention.

    Heroes of Annihilated Empires
    It's a shame that a game that gets the mix of genres so right is hampered by such a great number of issues that all result in holding it back from realising its true potential.

    The Sims 2
    The Sims 2 feels a little scaled back on the PSP and even though there are a few extras added in the experience isn't as free roaming as before. The loading really makes the game hard to recommend as a portable title.

    Shadowrun
    Shadowrun is a decent multiplayer with a great idea that needed some more time to be fully utilised.

    The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces
    Give it a go if you’re a fan of combat flight-sims or the film, but otherwise, you’re likely to be disappointed.

    The Incredible Hulk
    While it does contain moments of fun, playing through The Incredible Hulk will leave many gamers yearning to dust off their copies of Ultimate Destruction and reminisce about how fun it used to be to play the Hulk.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D
    Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D is a solid footballing experience lacking in ambition, flair and online multiplayer. Better luck next time, lads.

    Kameo: Elements of Power
    Overall a good idea, but poor execution throughout. A good technical showpiece for the Xbox 360, but in truth a disappointing game destined for the bargain bins in six months.

    Superstars V8 Racing
    Superstars V8 Racing is a downloadable title, and therefore not as fleshed out as a retail release. The content is fun and very playable, but may not be worth the price of admission with much bigger racing titles already on the market.

    Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
    This game isn't going to win any awards for originality or complexity, but if you're after a non linear child's game that is based on the movie then you'll be pleased to know that this game is actually a fairly decent title, which left me very surprised.

    Myst
    If you're at all interested in puzzle games, you owe it to yourself to check out Myst. For those who've already played it, it's like taking a trip down memory lane... and stumbling over every stone in the path.

    Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2
    Even though most players have been here and done this, Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 actually provides reasonably portable hack-and-slash action. That is, if you can put up with it.

    Trace Memory
    With it's gentle pace, well-penned storyline and (just occasionally) some of the neatest puzzles we've seen this side of "Grim Fandango", PALGN wants to love CING's game. But it's all a little too obscure in parts, and over too quickly to encourage a real obsession.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was on the right track but needed more time to be great. Only fans will find any enjoyment.
    • 61 Metascore

    Fatal Inertia
    Fatal Inertia turns out to be a reasonably generic futuristic racer with a reasonably generic name that delivers some decent racing without stepping too far out of the genre's boundaries.

    Sacred Underworld
    Sacred was a frustrating game to get used to, but surprisingly the expansion improves on the title incredibly. The game is somewhat more bearable to play now, but there are still too many flaws to consider this series a worthwhile purchase for hack n' slash veterans. Hopefully Sacred 2 will satisfy our needs.

    Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness
    A competent RPG that has some remote appeal but it doesn't take enough of the things that made the Game Boy versions so enjoyable.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Quake 4
    Quake IV hasn't really evolved from it's predecessors that much which makes this game very predictable and linear.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ultimate Block Party
    Some good ideas on offer here, but with an incomplete multiplayer offering the games potential is severely hindered. Recommended only for die-hard puzzle enthusiasts.
    • 61 Metascore

    Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest
    Despite some clever uses of the Move controller, Medieval Moves is let down by its low difficulty and at times shoddy presentation.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    MotionSports
    While there are still a lot of areas that could have been done better, Motion Sports: Play for Real is an adequate launch title that shows off the potential of Kinect.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires
    While strategy elements make the title more appealing and accessible to a broader audience, ultimately it’s not enough to compensate the repetitive hack and slash gameplay. Unless you’re fan of the series, then there’s little that will hold your interest.
    • 79 Metascore

    Dissidia: Final Fantasy
    Dissidia is a disappointing title that is hard to recommend to anyone but a die hard fan of the Final Fantasy series.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party
    The ideal gift for children who want to participate in the Buzz games but find the questions too difficult. Adults would be best advised to stick to the other Buzz titles though.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Kung Fu Panda
    Kung Fu Panda again shows that even pretty decent games squeezed into the Wii's control scheme have a hard time living up to their potential. It's not terrible, but if you can, you should get it on another system.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Solatorobo: Red the Hunter
    Solatorobo is a title full of great ideas, which were wasted with shoddy execution. Nevertheless, those interested in games with great stories should check it out.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Namco Museum Battle Collection
    Just another compilation, but this time it is for the PSP. Given the hefty price tag, your money is better off elsewhere.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble
    As a fighting game Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble just isn't that enjoyable. In the transition to the PSP the game really hasn't changed from the GameCube version. It's an advantage being able to play the game on the run - the game can be a lot of fun in short bursts - but it's disappointing that the developers didn't really make any improvements to the gameplay with the extra development time enjoyed by the PSP version.
