We expected more from Nintendo, maybe a game able of bringing home the fun that we used to have on the arcades. They choose to stick with a familiar franchise and create something really simple.

It's not embarrassing and even possesses some thrilling moments, but you'd have to ignore some quite serious flaws to fully enjoy it.

As a Lost fan, I enjoyed exploring the island and interacting with survivors from the Oceanic Flight 815; as a videogames player, Via Domus feels like a wasted opportunity.

Toy Home is a simple and occasionally fun game, at least for the short period it takes to become frustrated with the controls and the lack of substance.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers is more of the same, and that won't disturb those who appreciate the franchise.

Even though it's technically passable – although never amazingly so - Smash Court Tennis 3 misses in the most important department: playability.

Dynasty Warriors 6 isn't properly bad, it doesn't contain anything appalling. However, average is the suitable word here.

As if the clearly unfinished development, many imperfections and unoriginal design weren’t enough, BlackSite also arrives in one of the best years ever for the FPS genre.

Battle Archives Vol.1 is mostly worth for what it represents, not necessarily for the - dubious - quality of its games.

Mercs 2 turns out as a disappointing action game, weak in all technic departments, be it graphics, AI or the dead at birth multiplayer. So much wasted potential.

Prince Caspian is clearly aimed at the younger players, but even those demand a better game nowadays.

We hope that Sega has already received enough feedback from players, and can embark on a new project, original, with good production values e lasting appeal. But, please, no Virtua Cop Return, ok?

This version has serious technical and design flaws that make it not much fun to play and are indication of a rushed conversion.

Apartment Pets lacks diversity, complexity and something that encourages us to keep caring for the – somewhat – cute animals.

First and foremost, Warriors Orochi PSP is a game aimed at fans, and only then for a few other players.

Online or offline, the conclusion is only one – this adventure is dull, tremendously repetitive and not very absorbing.

Contagion is further proof that Coded Arms is a shallow series.

The previous niggles remain, and nothing was done to make matters more pleasant. It's difficult to enjoy PES 2008 on DS when clearly not even Konami was passionate about it.

Not very appealing, with impractical and tiresome controls, excessive repetition of scenery and short lifespan, Jet Race is way far from Nintendo’s standards.

Lacking co-op and the rest of the cast, Beast Rider seems more like a market study than the complete Golden Axe experience we could expect.

Carnival Funfair Games ruins an idea that makes perfect sense with a flawed technical implementation that removes every enjoyment one could have, becoming a monotonous experience.

Target Liberty is far from actual standards on Sony’s handheld... It’s a shame that a franchise like SWAT wasn’t worthy of more thought. It’s short, unappealing and monotonous.

The Golden Compass is just another one of those games based on movies, that only exist to strengthen the preconceived notion of lack of quality in these adaptations.

In Pokémon Battle Revolution, we have a mediocre game that will only please the most hardened fans, and that actually looks more like a “test” than a properly finished game.

Haze is a huge mistake, an unfinished game with a variety of flaws, both from technical and design standpoint.

Prince Caspian is clearly aimed at the younger players, but even those demand a better game nowadays.

This version has serious technical and design flaws that make it not much fun to play and are indication of a rushed conversion.

Naruto has given us some fairly competent games; this isn't one of those.

Musou fans will be happy with the vast roster and RPG elements. All other players won't lose much if they steer clear from Warriors Orochi.

Our worries have been confirmed, and Turning Point turns out as a mediocre FPS, with a lot of problems that shouldn't appear on a so called next-gen game.

Innovation isn't a guarantee of quality, and in this case controls are inaccurate and badly designed. Fun rapidly trades places with frustration, there are much better proposals on the DS.

Wall-E is monotonous, filled with technical problems, and most importantly far from the potential of PlayStation 3.

In case you’re not interested in Tony Stark’s adventures, there are much better games.

And to finish it off, this game is just awful. That’s a shame, really, since I had hoped it would turn out acceptable.

Here we have a lackluster game, made without respect for the reputation of the series, just aiming to deceive players desperately in need for speed.

Altered Species is filled with all kinds of problems, from overpowered and brainless fiends to ill-conceived levels. Let's just hope these vampires stop haunting us.

If you've already played Samurai Warriors and weren't exactly crazy about it, you might as well keep your money in the wallet.

These Super Legends are only so for the indefectible Power Rangers fans. It’s an absolutely mediocre game, that shouldn’t be played by anyone who knows of what a real videogame is made. The Nintendo DS deserves much better, and has great alternatives.

Jenga is here just to fill the gap, with no attention to quality whatsoever, only to make a quick buck at the expense of distracted fans.

This is exactly the kind of game that shouldn't be released on the PS2 by now.

Warriors Orochi 2 lacks a purpose to exist, even less to justify your time or a place in your collection.

Hour of Victory is a run-of-the-mill FPS, with horrible presentation and no lasting appeal.

The Incredible Hulk: The Official Videogame is simply one of the worst super-hero tie-ins of all time.

Jenga is here just to fill the gap, with no attention to quality whatsoever, only to make a quick buck at the expense of distracted fans.

Game Party is undeserving of the Wii. The games on display are awful, but the execution manages to be even worse. There is absolutely no fun to be had here, just frustration in large doses.
