Racquet Sports is pretty much unforgivable tripe. It's boring, bland, and doesn't actually work properly. [Issue#198, p.96]

An absurd racer that should be put through one of its own courses for punishment... This sucks. [Issue#139, p.87]

Horror games are supposed to be scary, but the only thing that really gives Saw II any credibility are some of the more interesting puzzles. [Issue#198, p.97]

The whole game just feels a bit budget, from the way that linked executions aren’t linked at all, merely canned animations played one after the other, to the short length and ugly UI elements. It’s a spin-off, and it sure feels like one.

Shun this bloody awful game. [Issue 141, p.90]

There are no improvements whatsoever since "Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires" besides a change of location. [Issue#152, p.84]

Dull. [Issue#190, p.91]

There's nothing wrong with the idea, but the execution is unforgivable. [Issue#211, p.88]

Not only is it boring, but it's dodgy as hell. [Issue#221, p.81]

This is as impressive as a crippled chimp, and its heavy-handed gameplay is ruthlessly boring. [Issue#156, p.80]

Clunky, jerky, boring and tiresome in equal amounts. [Issue#153, p.90]

An instantly tiresome game free from anything genuinely new or interesting. [Issue#139, p.71]

Ten years ago it would have been bad. 15 years ago it wouldn't have been worth playing. Today? It's a joke, and one that's just not funny. [Issue#207, p.82]

Cynical, franchise-exploiting pump that Resi devotees should collectively ignore. [Issue#217, p.73]

There's just no depth to Xaolin Showdown whatsoever. [Issue #150, p.89]

If ever proof was needed that the next generation is in the games and not the console, this is it. [Issue#155, p.74]

Maybe one to keep the kids quiet for an hour, but beyond that this is among the more worthless PSP games out there. A laughable idea executed equally pitifully. Cash should not be exchanged for this.

It's a boring, sad affair that'll just turn kids off the books. Rubbish. [Issue#155, p.86]

Oddly, though, it's still a little better than Dynasty Warriors 6. But that's like saying diarrhoea for four days is better than diarrhoea for five days. [Issue#204, p.87]

Unforgivable bugs. [Issue#220, p.81]

Shellshock 2 combines technical inferiority as a shooter with a woeful attempt at survival horror. It’s kicked around and stomped to death by Call Of Duty and Silent Hill in their respective genres, and is thus left as an entirely useless exercise in gaming terms.

It's a shame to see Telltale Games pump out such drivel. [Feb 2012, p.83]

Half-baked mechanics, visually dull and a lack of conviction in its creative vision. [Issue#225, p.83]

The game will sap you until all that's left is a dry, withered husk. [Issue#162, p.89]

This game is ass; don't buy it. Don't even rent it. [Issue 141, p.106]

Spider-Man 3 was okay, for about five minutes. Shortly after, it became a series of painful stabs to the soul, culminating in a single realisation: Activision has put out the worst Spider-Man game of recent times. [Issue#162, p.94]

Horribly frustrating and stressful to play. [Issue#162, p.92]

Avoid this shameful anathema like a toilet cubicle with an unflushed poo in it. [Issue#164, p.94]
