    Hyperdimension Neptunia
    A funny twist to the console war, diverse characters, and an interesting take of healing are the positives. However these are far outweighed by bland dungeons, overly easy combat, and a rather boring story.

    Bravo Team
    Bravo Team’s third-person camera movement system snatches control away from the player far too much, creating a jarring and unfriendly experience. I’m still baffled at why this was thought to be a good idea after numerous play tests. Movement is just the peak of myriad problems in Bravo Team, including tracking issues, AI goofs, and just plain bad and boring game design.

    Warriors: Legends of Troy
    A game that doesn't really do anything memorable. The great setting and characters to this mythology are let down by bland combat and forgetful missions.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
    Another huge issue is that Mutants in Manhattan just generally lacks polish.
    • 44 Metascore

    Last Rebellion
    For Hit Maker’s first PS3 game, it’s very much rooted in the past and shows no progress forward except for the battle system, which finds itself caught in the major flaw of only having two characters.

    Q*bert: Rebooted
    It’s easy to recommend Q*Bert: Rebooted to both returning fans and new ones alike. The PlayStation release allows for choice of play either in its classic mode or the more modern version for those who want something a little easier on the eyes.

    Harmonix Music VR
    By itself it lacks any real compelling reason to buy it.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Ridge Racer
    Ridge Racer is a disappointment on all fronts, and feels more like a horrible car wreck. While the racing itself is decent, it crashes dead smack into a brick wall of poor planning, lazy development, and a complete lack of content.

    Battleship
    The graphics and presentation are bland. There are only three enemy types to dispose of. There is no multiplayer. Other than collecting in-game pegs inspired from the board game, replayability scarcely exists.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Calvino Noir
    There’s a cynicism deep-rooted in Calvino Noir, a heavy darkness you can’t escape. Death is always lurking, success is futile. Maybe this is the best representation of noire in games that nobody wanted.

    DreamWorks Megamind: Ultimate Showdown
    Overall, Megamind: Ultimate Showdown is a decent platformer, but lacks in many other aspects from a lackluster story to repetitive gameplay.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Quantum Theory
    While Quantum Theory boasts its own unique attributes, it ultimately is not a title which shooter fans will be blown away by. It is a shame since, if the title delivered where it essentially failed, it could of been a totally fresh experience for gamers.

    Supremacy MMA: Unrestricted
    Like any fighter going full steam in the first round but falling short a knock-out, it gets tired quickly and can't go the distance with the heavy weights. On a platform where there are already great fighting games aplenty, Supremacy MMA: Unrestricted is more of an undercard match, rather than the main event you are looking for.

    New Gundam Breaker
    New Gundam Breaker does little to continue the good faith the past few Gundam games have worked so hard to garner. It’s a charming game at times, and its characters are refreshingly simple. That’s not enough to save it from itself, though, and the gameplay is well below what a game based entirely on building and piloting a Gundam should be.

    PlayStation Move Ape Escape
    It's a shame where the series has headed lately, and fans should skip out on PlayStation Move Ape Escape altogether.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Super Dungeon Bros
    The rock-n-roll bro concept is very amusing, and the variety of weapons available to craft adds plenty of motivation to replay it. However, until the developer adds in the ability to save your dungeon progress, not many will stick around long enough to craft any of them.

    Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z
    My advice for you is to beat the game simply to unlock Z mode. It’s a worthy pursuit. After that, shun the campaign.

    Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality
    Unfortunately, if you are stone cold sober and trying to channel your inner Doogie Howser, this lack of any tangible precision will prove to be an instant turn-off.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Aliens: Colonial Marines
    Other than the fact that it is using the Alien IP, the game fails to bring any tension even in the simplest of ways, as it trips over its own feet at every step. It feels like a rushed product in almost every aspect of its design, and for something that could have been so great, it is now little more than a black mark on Gearbox Software’s track record.

    Naughty Bear
    After 20 minutes of gameplay, you will have fully exhausted what the game has to show you.

    NBA Live 14
    NBA Live 14 isn’t a broken or unplayable game, it’s just not in the same league as the 2K series yet.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle
    Everything from its presentation to the gameplay seems poorly thought out. This is one worth avoiding by all, as there’s not even any enjoyment to be had in a “so bad it’s good” sense.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Time and Eternity
    There is very little in Time and Eternity to warrant paying full or even half price to try out.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Nickelodeon Kart Racers
    While Nickelodeon Kart Racers’ provides plenty of content and has smart references that integrate well with some very solid racing, the poor visuals and botched battle mode leave plenty to be desired. If you accept the game for what it is there’s definitely some fun to be had but its shortcomings are jarring enough to require some substantial blinders.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Prison Break: The Conspiracy
    There’s a reason why Prison Break: The Conspiracy will only be bought by the Prison Break Wikipedia page manager–it just isn’t that good.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Gungrave VR
    Gungrave VR is a generic shooter wrapped in the new-tech allure of VR. For fans of the 16-year-old PS2 series, this will no doubt bring up some nostalgic feelings. But the incredibly small amount of content on offer will turn off most gamers looking for a fuller experience.

    Lets Fish! Hooked On
    Hooked On‘s included tutorial does almost nothing for players who don’t already know the deal with fishing games; it doesn’t advise tactics for certain weather conditions, it doesn’t explain what situations might be good for certain lures or rods, or anything that would be, you know, useful to someone new.

    Fast Draw Showdown
    An average game. It offers a quick pick-up that will entertain you for a few hours at best. Once experiencing all the modes that the game offers, it most likely will not be played again any time soon.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Clash of the Titans: The Videogame
    The wild inconsistencies in the game will frustrate and confuse you. Every boss fight is a waste of time and will try your patience. In short, this game has 2 hours of content stretched over 12 hours of gameplay.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Babylon's Fall
    Babylon’s Fall seems like it needed a lot more development time. The core combat feels stiffer than my left wrist, which is currently recovering from a broken bone. Combining that with lackluster graphics and limited multiplayer options would be bad enough, but locking out key features of the game behind ten or so hours of gameplay makes Babylon’s Fall a very tough sell. Stacking microtransactions on top of it all leaves a nasty aftertaste that Platinum Games is going to have to wash out for a long time to come. Babylon’s Fall is good for some mindless, repetitive dungeon crawling, but certainly not for the launch MSRP of $59.99.
