A nice game at freeware standards, but for a full-price commercial game it is just a huge disappointment. [Jan 2006]

A good story gets swallowed by a lot of bad gameplay. It's a shame really, since Martin's amazing novels would make a great game in the right hands. [June 2012]

Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 were impressive displays from Team Ninja. The third instalment in the series is not cut from the same cloth. The combat system has been dumbed down and the enemies do not pose the threat they used to. Ninja Gaiden 3 is a big letdown. [May 2012]

A bit too dark (as in "no light"), linear and uninventive. It is also strangely entertaining. [Mar. 05]

A pretty average beat 'em up. There are some annoying control and camera issues. And the imperfects? Boring! [Nov 2005]

It's short, predictable and way too similar to Amnesia: the Dark Descent. Still, more Amnesia is never a bad thing and the changing layout of the manor is a neat idea. Shame it isn't used that much. [Feb 2015]

Sacred 3 is a straight-forward and unambitious hack'n'slash game. The worst thing about it is that the storyline is bloody awful. [Sept 2014]

Both the flying and close combat are equally uninspired and plain boring and there is no real synergy between the two. [Feb 2010]

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest has some good movielike moments but overall suffers from a boring and difficult single player mode and lousy controls on the PC. The multiplayer is decent enough if you're into epic but rather simple fantasy action. [Feb 2009]

The only high-point is Jesper Kyd's music. [May 05]

While it doesn't reach the heights of The Neverhood, Armikrog captures some of the magic in exploring an alien world and deciphering its mysteries. An enjoyable, if unpolished adventure. [Dec 2015]

Tries meekly to combine some adventure to minigames (attractions) with revolting results in Story Mode. Minigames are too repetetive and simple while the story "developement" is a joke, to name a few faults. The original Bomberman (Battle Mode) works well though but that does not save the whole. Go for DS version and ignore this. [May 2008]

A decent minigame collection with no proper multiplayer elements. The characters are quite dull, also. [Apr 2012]

A dated 2D beat 'em up for purists only. [Feb. 05]

UberSoldier does not dare to do anything bold with its undead protagonist. Instead, the game remains a generic WW2 shooter, although a technically adept one. [April 2006]

A nice departure from the default dancing game format. The only track limit is your CD collection, although it does not work properly with every type of dance music. The way step arrows are shown is more annoying than the music problems. [Dec 2006]

Hardware: Rivals is a fun and fast vehicle shooter. Needs more arenas, though. And what's with the automatic vertical aiming? That's just stupid and completely unnecessary. [March 2016]

Using Kinect to play a 2D beat 'em up is a great idea, but the novelty fades off after a couple of hours. Not that it takes much longer to finish the story mode, which is not quite enough for a retail game that costs 40 euros. [Dec 2011]

Sonic, the cutest hedgehog in the world is no more. The cobalt blue creature in Sonic Riders is a cheap copy of a third rate Sunday morning anime hero. The game is not much fun either. The wonderful Sonic speed is there, but that does not suffice for more than a few days of air board riding. [April 2006]

Pleasant to look at, but has very limited tactical depth. What is worse there is not really much else to do other than fire the phasers. Only a die-hard trekkie could enjoy this – and, sadly, probably will. [Feb 2007]

A decent enough collection on winter sports themed minigames. The sense of speed is very good. Too bad the selection of sports is way too small. [Feb 2010]

Thumbs up for Pirates of Black Cove being a pirate themed strategy game, thumbs down for oversimplified gameplay, boring missions and way too slow tempo. [Oct 2011]

Not a very good game, although some battles can be quite impressive. Voice acting is simply horrendous, the game is riddled with bugs and has lots of annoying little things that creep up every now and again. [Feb. 05]

French indie developer tries to engage adult audience with this RPG. Too bad the world is generic and script is dull as a wooden blade. If you show a few tits and curse like a sailor, that don't translate to a game for adults. On top of that the game mechanics are dull and repetitive. You don't challenge Witcher with this kind of setup. [June 2014]

Shrek the Third doesn't even try to be passable. It's a children's game, but that's not an excuse to make the game repetetive, too easy and just damn boring. There's enough basic platformers in this world even without the new Shrek game. [Oct 2007]

Although the animation isn't what you expect, Larry's return makes you laugh. It proves that adventure games aren't relics, and that something we considered funny as we were kids is still funny. The game relies on nostalgia, but adds its own flavor to the mix. [Aug 2013]

Does not really offer anything new, except improved graphics and a new storyline. That is not enough, really, but wrestling fans will probably still like the game. [Aug. 05]

The worst of all of Dragon Age: Origins DLC. A short and uninspired trek through the final battle of the game from the baddie’s perspective doesn’t warrant any cheers as it fails to deliver any emotions or story into the field. [June 2010]
