    Rabbids 3D is probably the most average platformer we've ever played, and the 3D effect is entirely superfluous.

    Spytoy could be one of the worst Eyetoy games available. The mission structure is repetitive and the game won't even occupy your attention until "Eyetoy: Play 3" is out.

    Even with the backing of HC Andersen characters, the game fails to excel pass preexisting point-and-click adventure games.

    Just a by-the-numbers first-person shooter. It has a somewhat unique charm, thanks to its ridiculous storyline, voice acting and nifty bullet shield.

    Casuals and newcomers to the franchise alike would do best trying the core entries in the series instead, while long-time fans, curious to see what this ‘story thing’ is all about, should stick to their own imaginations.

    A functional but unappealing cash-in.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A reasonable game but its lack of challenge and enticement makes it fall far behind the pack.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It plays average, it feels average, and the payment system offers average content at an unjustified price. Unless you're a die-hard fan, this is a pass.

    While not terrible, there just isn't enough in PaRappa the Rapper to lift it into contention against today's various music games.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A major disappointment, considering the game has been in development for so long we definitely had some high hopes for the game, but unfortunately the title just isn't that impressive.

    Duke's return is bittersweet, serving as a great example of how much the industry has progressed. We still love him, but he deserves better.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Boogie is a nice looking package, but the gameplay simply doesn't stack up to the competition. Very stylish, but way too simplistic to be taken seriously.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Yoostar 2 is a fun idea and is certainly something that's best played with friends, but its technical limitations do spoil the rather short-lived experience. Best saved for a rental on a rainy day.

    Beijing 2008 is a button mashing game with a very tough learning curve. The multiplayer can be a bit of fun, but the lack of gameplay innovations result in the game finishing in last place.

    Chronicles of Narnia presents a few neat ideas that should be used in future games from this genre, but there are far too many issues that out weigh the good.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Godfather on the PSP is too scaled down to be an enjoyable game, and simply has too many flaws which stops the game from being a worthwhile recommendation.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A poorly executed game that could’ve been much more memorable if it had followed a similar path to Lego Star Wars.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It fails in most areas due to its ordinary graphics, stupid A.I, and boring level design.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Great concept; shame about the execution. Here's hoping THQ is willing to fund a sequel to iron out the flaws. It's the least that Pandemic deserves.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    TMNT's pitiful difficulty and technical shortcomings overshadow some solid platforming action.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A fairly basic and uneventful puzzler, Dead Space Ignition will probably be best enjoyed by hardcore fans of the Dead Space series only.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The basic idea of a lightsabre side-scrolling beat 'em up is a good one. But, the game is simply too short, too simple and overrun with camera problems to be any better than average.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Everything The Outfit does has been done better on lesser hardware.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Not a disaster. Give it a rent to try out the shark-centric gameplay mechanics, but most Jaws fans will be put off by the mediocrity of the package and wasted opportunity for excellence.

    Tak 2: Staff of Dreams fails to provide an engaging platform experience, and would be better used as a cure for insomnia.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Arkanoid bounces back on DS, yet misses the point completely.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    C.O.P.: The Recruit is cynical, mediocre and clunky game, with its raison d'etre being the wholesale emulation of the Grand Theft Auto formula. To say that it fails wholeheartedly is hardly an overstatement.
    • 56 Metascore

    With little innovation and generic missions Medal of Honor Vanguard isn't a great addition to the franchise. Fans of WWII titles are best off looking elsewhere.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Micro Machines v4 isn't the triumphant return to glory that we were hoping for, but a generic top-down racing game that's probably only going to appeal to retro fans who have been craving anything Micro Machines-related for a while now.
    • 49 Metascore

    Toy Story Mania is a decent home version of the popular Disneyland and Walt Disney World attraction, but ultimately it’s just another lacklustre mini-game compilation for the Wii.
