    Winter Sports 2: The Next Challenge
    The control can be iffy, a few of the event mechanics are horrendous, the technicals are sadly well under par, and the Campaign includes plenty of “what the hell am I doing this for?” moments. But you can wrap your brain around most of the gameplay, and that’s a definite plus. With multiple difficulty levels and the chance to include some buddies in your play time, you could have plenty of fun when the wintry weather keeps you inside.

    Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
    Entirely unremarkable.

    Killer Is Dead
    Killer is Dead has a lot going for it. The foundation is there. But the positives are mired beneath a poor gameplay mechanic that makes even simple control a chore. The story isn’t allowed to shine due to simplistic writing and stereotypical characters, the difficulty can be very erratic, and too many deaths feel cheap and unfair.

    The Witch and the Hundred Knight
    It's ironic that we get such a lengthy tutorial to start, and then we still have dozens of questions as the game progresses. Then you've got a horrid main character, only mildly intriguing combat mechanics (which could've been very intriguing had they been correctly described and implemented), and a story that, despite its merits, remains juvenile.

    Bodycount
    But it's all just so… Just pick your favorite synonym for bland or flat. The control is fine, some of the backdrops are cool, and particularly hectic firefights can deliver the energetic goods. But the skill shot system clashes badly with the overall theme, the campaign is way too short (and quite boring), the multiplayer is lackluster, and the AI isn't bright.

    Planet 51 The Game
    Planet 51 just doesn’t deliver. The entire production feels bare and a little watered down, and the technical hang-ups continue to persist throughout the game.

    MX vs. ATV Untamed
    All in all, MX vs. ATV Untamed is not a product you want to spend $60 on. In fact, it's not even a product you'd want to spend $20 on. The bottom line here is that this is a very poorly done game, that suffers from uninspired gameplay, poor track design, redundancy, and a lacking online component.

    Rampage: Total Destruction
    In the end, you’ll probably make it through Las Vegas, San Francisco, and London, but after that, if you’re still playing, you’re either immensely bored or far more enamored with the game than I was.

    Time Crisis: Razing Storm
    But the Story Mode is just plain broken; directing with the Move and actually moving with either the left analog stick of the wireless DS3 or the Nav controller doesn't work well at all. It's just unbelievably irritating.

    DreamWorks Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
    Madagascar 2 is neither a good game, nor a learning experience for your young one. Chances are, your kid's capable of playing something more advanced than Madagascar 2, because this is about as simplistic as it can get.

    Thor: God of Thunder
    Like the Frankenstein's monster of every straight-up action game you've played in the past few years. It has all the basic parts and it's kind of sewn together properly, but the end result is a broken, half-retarded thing that's a little unsteady on its feet.

    Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects
    It doesn't have a riveting story, it's easy, the gameplay is stale and shallow – in short, and it offers nothing new.

    Conflict: Denied Ops
    This game could've used another few months in development so as to iron out the flaws and little glitches, because this entire production feels rushed.
    • 57 Metascore

    Little Deviants
    Little Deviants has some ambition and creativity and it's often inarguably amusing. But the generic, bland nature of the goals in each game mode, the lackluster presentation, and the erratic and unreliable control hinder it big time. Worse, there's always a pervading sense that this is less a game and more of an incomplete production with only hardware features as the inspiration.

    Warriors Orochi
    Warriors Orochi is another fanservice game, plain and simple, and really doesn't appeal to gamers who don't appreciate the "been there, done that" rehash. Because really, despite a few small upgrades, that's all this is.

    Shrek the Third
    It's easily the worst of the summer trilogy titles (Pirates, Spidey, Shrek), which is sort of apt, seeing as how it was also the worst among the competing trilogy movies. Poor visuals, dated gameplay, and horrible audio really make this one a game to avoid.

    Legendary
    Legendary is an example of a title that could’ve been both exceptional and memorable, but ends up being neither due to a variety of major flaws in the glaring inconsistencies, unrefined technicals, and overall gameplay.

    Heatseeker
    We're left with a very empty feeling after playing Heatseeker for even a few hours. It starts off entertaining but loses all its appeal and fun factor very rapidly.

    Th3 Plan
    We'll finish with a bad pun- it was a good "plan," but it lacked execution, and ultimately got caught in its own web of poorly implemented - yet crafty - techniques.

    The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
    Lastly, the time manipulation feature works just fine and makes combat much easier at times, but most players will just abuse the hell out of it due to the inherent challenge.

    MLB 2K13
    There are limitations to all hardware and perhaps we have to wait for the next generation before more strides can be taken in the realm of realism. But when you show no progress whatsoever and you appear content to sit on your laurels, the result is an outdated, unsatisfying simulator that is technically flawed and generally unimpressive.

    Disney/Pixar Ratatouille
    Ratatouille, without any doubt, is far better as a movie, and even big fans of the film probably won't get too much enjoyment out of the game.

    Ski-doo Snow X Racing
    Might be worth the budget price tag if - repeat, if - you're a fan of the sport. It's simply not an accomplished enough title to be worth it for anyone else; there are just too many shortcomings, here.

    Haze
    Avoid this one at all costs, at least until you see it at the bargain bin for $10.

    Dynasty Warriors 6
    It could be okay for the true die-hards, but other than that, don’t waste your time.

    Jurassic: The Hunted
    There’s nothing laughably terrible about this effort but just about everything ranges from mediocre to average, which is painfully obvious within the first few minutes of play time. It’s just…so “meh.”

    Art of Fighting Anthology
    Therefore, we can only recommend this for hardcore fans of the franchise, but then again, we assume those people might still have the Neo-Geo with these games. And if you do, don't bother with this anthology: we repeat, it's nothing you haven't seen and experienced before.

    NBA 06
    The online is decent if you can stomach the gameplay enough to get into it; and the mini-games do offer some fun diversions. But “The Life” is undercut by poor fundamentals and the restrictive nature of the animations and controls.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Destruction Derby Arenas
    If you've got nothing else better to do, then Destruction Derby Arenas can kill a few hours of your time. Provided you're not expecting too much out of the game, you'll have some fun in a "it's always fun to smash cars" sort of way.
