    Ping Pals is like paying for a trial sample of chips, you get the same thing, but you paid for it.

    Jumper: Griffin's Story is not only one of the worst movie to game adaptations we've ever played, it's quite simply one of the worst games ever.

    Borderline unplayable thanks to its horrid graphics, and the gameplay does nothing to inspire anyone to even attempt to persevere through its short yet inexplicably dull set pieces.

    If the developer’s purpose was to make an outdated and terribly dull game, then they succeeded.

    The Elf Bowling games are so utterly simplistic, tedious and pointless that we are not sure if it should be legal to expect people to pay money for them. The fact that Ignition Entertainment thought that they could make money off such a piece of software is an insult to humanity. Nobody could possibly be stupid enough to pay money for this game.

    Upon venturing deeper into the game it is apparant that Codemasters have had to take a few shortcuts in making the game possible. The game is plagued by poor loading, average handling and really difficult opposition, that makes it seem like the game is warning you not to play it.

    When you take the physical activity and cheap, tacky prizes out of Whac-A-Mole, you're left with virtually nothing.

    They didn’t really try and they failed almost beyond comprehension. Just put Mario Kart back into your DS slot and if you have one handy, use one of those Men in Black memory erasing devices on yourself so you’ll never have to relive the horror that is Big Mutha Truckers for the DS.

    While it definitely isn’t GOTY material, it’s a solid game that’s worth playing and offers strong value for money. As long as you don’t mind bad voice acting and a limited score.

    With such a low price point, the best format to pick Ratatouille up for is the PC. For a platformer, Ratatouille is pretty enjoyable and younger gamers should enjoy it.

    An excellent game for both hardcore strategy nuts and newcomers alike. An unassuming surface hides hours of ferociously addictive gameplay that's rivalled by few other titles.

    A great Chess game for those who want to learn Chess or for those who have been playing for years.

    If you’re a pre-teen who loves either Bratz or ponies (or both), you’ll have a fair amount of fun playing this game. Everyone else should stay away.

    Power Rangers: Super Legends is a generic beat-‘em-up. The game’s AI is limited, and there are only a few redeemable features. Unless you’re a die-hard fan, then there is little on offer for you to enjoy.

    Although older gamers may not find much appeal, if you’re a young girl who loves princesses and fantasy tales, then you’ll like what Disney Princess: Magical Jewels has to offer.

    Although the three different characters give Enchanted a little charm and balance, its hampered by repetitive and generic gameplay.

    Monster Jam isn't an overly bad game, it just doesn't do anything to differentiate itself from other racers - there are a few flaws which result in an average game.

    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.

    The Dog Island is a charming adventure so full of puppy cuteness that it would bring a smile to almost anyone's face. But at the $50 price point, you might find that titles like Nintendogs and Animal Crossing prove to be a better investment to keep the kids engaged this winter.

    NOMBZ is a simple shooter that has just a few too many problems to be easily recommended.

    As personal improvement programs go on the DS, this is one of the best we've seen bar none.

    Excellent value, just not quite as good as "Let's Yoga."

    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.

    A Scooby Doo game that borrows the mechanics of the LEGO titles but forgot to borrow the fun.

    AFL Challenge is a dud of the game that not even an AFL fan would enjoy.

    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.

    Considering the low price tag (USD$4.95), adventure fans would do well to check Puzzle Bots out. Just be prepared for a frustrating final level and silly plot twist that comes together a bit too quickly.

    Hunter's Trophy is a competent hunting simulator, which when you get past the rifle accessory doesn't have much to offer.
