    Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
    This is its own worse joke. Matt Hazard should have stayed retired. [May 2009, p.93]

    Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
    Aiming is askew; enemies are dumb and the level design is bland.

    Delta Force - Black Hawk Down: Team Sabre
    It looks and plays like a rubbish PC game from 1992 and no amount of multiplayer modes can change that.

    The Sopranos: Road to Respect
    With a slew of better mob games out there - "Scarface" for one, "Made Man" and even "The Godfather" - there's no reason for settling on this mess of a game.

    Reservoir Dogs
    Being locked in a room with Mr Blonde, a razor blade and a can of petrol would be more fun than playing this again.

    Star Trek: Encounters
    The two-player multiplayer modes basically repeat the same flaws and even add some new ones, such as computer-controlled allies rarely pulling their weight. A waste of a licence, and a waste of your time and money.

    FIFA World Cup: Germany 2006
    With PSP PES proving just a tad disappointing, this was the perfect opportunity for FIFA to mount a serious challenge. While the commentary and visuals are fantastic, the gameplay is far too shallow and imprecise to please those who take their digital football seriously.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
    The PS2 game was never going to compete with the Xbox 360's graphics, and neither did anyone expect it to. What we didn't anticipate was a completely dumbed down version that doesn't seem to know whether it's a straightforward first-person shooter or a tactical war game.

    Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code
    The online mode, featuring co-op play and deathmatches for up to three other players, almost salvages the game, but the sheer tedium of the rest of it sinks it.

    Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires
    The only thing that has changed is a slight improvement in looks. Please Koei, stop. We give in. Chinese water torture has nothing on this.

    FIFA Street 2
    Despite the tweaks to the game and some definite improvements, at the end of the day, Gary, it's a stop-start, often infuriating experience which just makes us appreciate proper football games even more.

    Armored Core: Formula Front - Extreme Battle
    Extreme Battle? Extreme tedium, more like.
    • 46 Metascore

    World Series of Poker
    Many of the games feel very unfair and almost calculated in the way they contrive to make you lose. Trying to outwit opponents by bluffing is a big no-no too, since there always seems to be one character that doesn't want to play ball and fold a hand. It just never feels like you're playing real poker against real people.
