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.

Rocktmen could be thrilling, especially considering the genre isn't exactly prolific, and the four player co-op mode is appealing, but there are many issues.

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

NBA Ballers: Chosen One lacks better production values. Career mode is short, combos should be more varied, and some objectives don't make sense.

FaceBreaker is extremely simple and straight to the point, but not exactly fun, mostly due to the frustration that derives from the fighting.

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

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

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.

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

There's no great mystery, after all - Art of Murder is a competent game that doesn't bring anything new to the table, but never commits any blatant mistakes.

Legendary is an acceptable, sometimes frustrating game, a simple entertainment until the great first-person shooters of the year are released.

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.

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

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

Short and yet boring, doesn’t bring anything new to the table and doesn’t even accomplish what it ought to. Only the biggest fans of the material will take some enjoyment out of this game.

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.

This videogame tries to be successful by copying something already established, but the result is something dull, with very little reasons to exist.

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.

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.

Go! Sports Skydiving is a nice proposal, with a few control problems, but that gets more fun in multiplayer. It’s not really interesting in single-player, though, so it’s recommended to think before you dive.

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.

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.

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.

Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge is a quick fix, a fun game for a few moments, but its awkward controls become problematic after a while.

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