Grand Phantasm isn't absolutely terrible, it’s just entirely bland.

Buggy, uninspired and unrefined gameplay that has been bested by far better games, and is best suited to those with nothing else to play.

The King of Fighters XII is a brilliant fighting game at the core, courtesy of its fantastic new graphics engine and a solid 2D combat mechanics but the home version really could have been so much more.

An average affair with only minor high points. There’s a big emphasis on explosions which gets old too quickly.

Moon Diver isn't the next big thing in the 2D action platform genre, nor is it Square Enix's new instant classic. It does have some good ideas, but lazy design decisions and the repetitive stages do bring it down a few notches.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels is nothing more than a mediocre fighter that’s hampered by unimaginative waggle controls and simplistic gameplay.

Given the music quality and selection, it's a shame that Michael Jackson: The Experience is a little too demanding for the audience that it's aimed at.

There simply isn't enough in Naruto: Ninja Council, but only a select few who enjoy the multiplayer might be able to forgive this.

A fairly poor excuse of a game.

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon may be a reasonably competent game given its budget roots, but somehow ends up being rather unsatisfying to play.

While functional and fun in short bursts, unless you want to play Minesweeper on your TV screen there’s little reason you should purchase this Arcade game.

Sacred 2 is simply not good enough on far too many levels to be recommended. Fans of the gameplay style may find something to latch onto, but for the rest of us, this is a mediocre action-RPG lacking in passion and creativity.

With so much competition in the arcade racing genre, Sonic Riders is left out on the cold. It’s not a particularly bad game, but it has enough problems to push it well behind the frontrunners.

Full of wasted potential. A disappointing effort from a developer that knows better.

Dungeon Siege III in the end is a weak title that will drown in the sea of top quality western RPGs that are already out there and soon to come.

It's a passable wrestling game that never gives any impression of credibility. Going through the motions of making a game without any unique concept or vision is fine - if it hasn't been done many times before.

The brilliant yet poorly-executed premise, the mediocre graphics, and the surprisingly relaxing music - all meld together to make a pretty strange game.

An abundance of cheap tactics and bland gameplay make this one title that will forever be warming the bench.

Driver: Parallel Lines is better than it's predecessor but far too much of a Grand Theft Auto clone to be anything other than an average game.

Once past the impressive introduction, it's a downward spiral into a mediocre experience.

The Wheelman doesn't do anything majorly different, and settles for being just another average movie tie-in. If you like Vin Diesel and have a short attention span, this game might just interest you for a few minutes.

Ghostbusters on PSP doesn't look, sound, or play very well and is best passed up for a home console version.

A disappointing title and a poor addition to the Rush franchise, the Rush series is better left in our memories now.

A huge disappointment. After "Wrestlemania 19" I was really expecting something special from this, but it retains everything that was bad about that game and merely covers them over with prettier graphics and a few new modes. Time to continue praying again for the return of AKI.

The ship formation change puzzles and in-game revelations actually make it interesting for the player - interesting enough to find out why there are dinosaurs roaming in a 300-year-old spaceship that is heading towards Earth.

The lack of actual Dreamcast versions, the utterly pointless inclusion of Sega Bass Fishing, the nonexistent nostalgic extras and the lack of effort in presentation all make Dreamcast Collection an unfaithful representation of the glorious Dreamcast era.

If you're a hardcore gamer, there are certainly better games to be spending your money on. If you have kids, or you're a fan of the movie, you could do worse, but the game likely won't keep you entertained for long.

An incredibly simple platformer that most people will find entirely too basic and boring.
