    Likely to satisfy Armored Core fans, but those who are looking for an action game are likely to be disappointed.

    While there are worse things to do on your morning commute, there are other, potentially more viable ways, of getting what Hot Brain has to offer.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Like the old adage says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and unfortunately the makers of Bejeweled Twist have changed the gameplay, taking away the addictive qualities that previous Bejeweled titles have thrived on.

    Blacksite: Area 51 is reasonable first-person shooter that looks quite nice. However, its short length and lack of ingenuity will keep most away until it hits the bargain bin.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Brain Challenge is a decent game, with numerous brain-teasers to keep you entertained for weeks. However, a few flaws leave the game less polished than it should be.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One is a mostly unremarkable entry into the hallowed platforming series.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Though by no means a very bad or broken game, WRC: FIA World Rally Championship just isn't particularly remarkable and is short on replay value.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Unfortunately the battles just feel small and scaled back in this game.

    A competent adventure game hybrid in its own right, Twisted Lands: Shadow Town delivers what casual gamers will no doubt be familiar with. However, its poor story structure and rather steep price makes it a tough game to recommend to anyone looking for a fulfilling title.

    A new candidate for the most disappointing game of 2010, Medal of Honor doesn't deliver on any of its promises.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Despite the changes and additions, Juiced: Eliminator doesn't add much to what was a already an average street racer.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity should please fans of the series, but everyone else will find its generic gameplay dull and repetitive.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Combat can be repetitive and duels are boring. The game can be a lot of fun, the game just isn't as enjoyable as we'd hoped.

    Sonic games used to be about speed and fun, but Sonic Rivals 2 offers neither.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Fracture offers action fans something new, but unfortunately, it suffers from the same problems seen in countless other third-person shooters.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, as a recreation of the show works and has plenty to do, though there is no excuse for it being worse than its predecessors.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Devil Kings is the title gamers can use to take baby steps into the hack-‘n’-slash world. Not much in the way of advancing any genre, although, as mentioned it does contain some of the most charismatic and slick characters in recent times.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Battle of the Bands offers some casual fun, but if you're looking for an engaging rhythm game there's much better ones out there.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    An agreeable effort with no drastic flaws, Spare Parts gets some things right but suffers from a lack of inspiration to be a compelling title.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Still a fairly average game, but if you just must own one either the console version or the PSP version then the PSP version is the better choice.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The only thing that barely saves this is that it's a four-player game with some light competitive play. Otherwise, it's eminently missable - wait for something better unless you absolutely must have a Wii-based four-player board game.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    While the note-plucking, drum-whacking mechanics of the game are fine, there just aren't enough songs to sustain interest.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It's a mediocre N64 game in Dreamcast clothing on the PS2. It'll do OK for kids, but even platformer-loving adults should think twice before buying this. Play "Rayman 3" or "Mario Sunshine" again instead.

    While it has some frustrating aspects to it, Farm Vet does have some fun gameplay in it. It's definitely the best animal simulator on the PC, but if you have a different piece of hardware there are greater games in the genre to choose from.

    Ghost Rider is worth a rent if you enjoyed the film, but otherwise, only die-hard fans should buy, due to the unlockable content alone.
    • 68 Metascore

    Capcom’s defrosted sequel offers some satisfactory multiplayer and co-op play, but fails completely as a solo experience. Lost Planet 2 may look and sound astonishing, but it is ultimately undermined by poor design and frustrating gameplay.

    Although we’ve seen examples in the past where simple concepts have made great puzzle games, Honeycomb Beat just doesn’t go the distance to provide an exciting experience.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    An okay platforming game that provides some adequete platforming entertainment. Everything in the game has that same "been there done that" feeling, but as the game doesn't have any major flaws fans of the film and small children may find some fun in the game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Decades competently represents Guitar Hero's gameplay, but has trouble recreating what ultimately makes Guitar Hero fun.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Island of Happiness has some depth, but you'll have to get past the painful controls and lazy design to find it.
