    Dinosaur King
    Unless you’re a fan of the anime, then you need not apply yourself to Dinosaur King. Battles occur too frequently, the combat system uses a questionable adaptation of Rock, Paper, Scissors, and the fossil-cleaning mini-game gets repetitive far too quickly. The game is simply a missed opportunity.

    Crazy Pig
    There just isn't all that much to do in Crazy Pig. The game isn't necessarily bad, most players will just have run out of fun things to do in less than a few hours.

    Faery: Legends of Avalon
    Faery is really quite a bland game with an uninspired combat system and basic storyline. Still, it does serve its purpose as a nice bit of eye candy.

    Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day
    Sight Training is an okay title, those who want to feel better about their eyesight will probably get a bit out of the game, but the exercises do become repetitive, which is not a good thing when you'll be doing the exercises every day.

    Pokemon Battle Revolution
    If you're looking for the ultimate Pokemon-on-Wii experience, you'll have to keep waiting. If you crave battles and 3D Pokemon, you may just find enough here to keep you entertained, but everyone else will find better things to do very quickly.

    Nancy Drew: Danger By Design
    Adventure gamers - young and old - deserve much better than this.

    Warriors: Legends of Troy
    It's great to see the Trojan War explored in Warriors: Legend of Troy, but these legendary warriors deserved a much more endearing title than this one. Only fans need apply.

    The Sims 3
    The Sims 3 is an adequate port for the 3DS, but in the end fails to capture the addictive fun and charm of its original counterpart.

    SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation
    SOCOM: Confrontation feels unfinished and unpolished, and could have been a whole lot more with a few extra coats of paint.

    MotoGP 07
    MotoGP 07's sheer lack of content is offensive, given the asking price.

    FaceBreaker
    While it tries to capture the arcade fun of boxing titles of previous console generations, FaceBreaker doesn't deliver the knockout punch that was expected.

    Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron
    Despite fixing the major problem of its portable predecessor, Renegade Squadron feels like a cheap cash in with ugly visuals and simplistic gameplay.

    Divinity II: Ego Draconis
    Divinity 2 proves to be a lacklustre by-the-numbers fantasy title marred by a host of technical hiccups on the Xbox 360.

    Armored Core: For Answer
    Definitely enjoyable in its own way, but a camera that can't keep pace with the action and dated visuals means that this is one for fans of the series only.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    Movie tie-in or not, competent or not, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a half-arsed effort given the source material.

    Clive Barker's Jericho
    Jericho lacks any real defining features - it's just a mass of clichés, tried and true genre elements and technical issues.

    True Crime: New York City
    Despite a myriad of improvements, True Crime: New York City's inexcusable number of bugs make it one of the biggest disappointments of this holiday season.

    The Legend of Kage 2
    The Legend of Kage 2 is a weak, bland and uninspiring 2D ninja action game.

    Velvet Assassin
    Velvet Assassin is a decent stealth game, until you're replaying the same sequence for the umpteenth time.

    Dynasty Warriors 6
    Dynasty Warriors 6 is a years-old game masquerading as a new one. Old gameplay and old visuals mean that if we want some crowd-mashing fun, we'll be digging out a previous iteration before this one.

    Gun Showdown
    Gun Showdown just goes to show that developers need more than just more content to bring console games to the PSP.

    Tenchu: Fatal Shadows
    Fatal Shadows isn’t awful, but it’s simply too primitive for anyone else but Tenchu fans to bother with in this era.

    Coded Arms
    A missed opportunity, the game features hard to learn controls, randomised levels that quickly becomes repetitive and enemies that all look very similar.

    John Daly's ProStroke Golf
    John Daly's Prostroke Golf works as an example of the PlayStation Move, but ultimately fails in every other aspect. The core gameplay is good, but overall isn't enough to sell a package that is put up against other far more successful golf franchises.

    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    It is considerably shorter than the console versions and retails for approximately the same price, there is nothing to come back to after the game is finished and unfortunately that will be far sooner than you will wish.

    Ford Racing 3
    Ford Racing 3 is another DS game that could've been. At least it's not a total failure and it does provide some hope for the future.

    Bust-A-Move Universe
    Puzzle Bobble Universe's main faults lie in the lack of content and uninspired 3D effects. However, the gameplay will still be fun and appealing to a lot of gamers, especially those that haven't had the chance to experience a Puzzle Bobble game before.

    Death by Degrees
    It would have worked better as a unlockable inclusion in "Tekken 5," rather than a standalone game.

    Spider-Man 3
    Poor camera? Check. Boring Combat? Check. Movie tie-in? Check.

    Impossible Mission
    Not particularly sure why this game is valued at AU$49, since it is such a simplified game that barely holds any substance compared to newer and similarly priced games.
