This one’s lack of polish and annoying gameplay will likely have you ejecting it from your X360 and reaching for your copy of LEGO Star Wars.

Our main gripe is that Blazing Birds is just so…flat.

The gameplay is so easy and simplistic that it's just not any fun, the graphics are just plain bad, and the sound is positively laughable.

Don't expect to be playing NeverDead very long unless you can forgive the games technical issues and ho-hum gameplay the campaign will last anywhere around the six to eight hour mark.

We love the fact that Frozen Codebase stepped outside the box and jumped into the mine, but Screwjumper!’s recurring in-game issues leave us no other choice but to give it the shaft.

The game itself isn't bad in structure and gameplay, but the camera system pretty much dashes all of Final Fight Streetwise's hopes of being a decent title.

The bottom line is that this game was and will apparently forever be nothing more than a mere tech demo.

You want players to be entertained and you want them to be challenged, but you don’t want them uncomfortable. Unfortunately, Rock Revolution frequently made me uncomfortable.

I find it hard to believe that any gamer, even the hard-core puzzle lovers, will play more than a few hours of Egg Mania.

Boring and sub-par gameplay, combined with bland visuals and sounds, creates a gaming experience that should be missed. More time was needed fine tuning things such as game mechanics, visuals, and audio.

Basic and boring gameplay, teamed with poor presentation, anemic customization and a total lack of motivation to actually win make the prospects of NFL Tour’s future less likely than the return of the XFL.

If you want to mix your beat 'em up with the joy of seeing numbers pop up, play something like Final Fight, Castle Crashers or Guardian Heroes and punch a calculator. It'll be roughly the same experience and will probably hurt less.

We like that MXWT has higher priced features like custom soundtracks and a decent control set, but there just isn't a lot to do in this title.

Had it been released as a slimmed-down Xbox Live Arcade title, Bomberman Act: Zero would be a surefire hit, right up there with Zuma in terms of addictive, stage-based gameplay. But instead, Bomberman Act: Zero is a $49.99 standalone title that you simply shouldn’t buy.

Word Puzzle does a good job in presenting this kind of contest on the Xbox 360, but it also seems to be proof that perhaps not everything that can be done with pen and paper should make the leap to an electronic form; nor does the addition of arcade-like elements to a basic word game necessarily make it more compelling.

I played this game for several days and noticed that I was forcing myself to play it just so I could do the review. This is not a good sign for any game.

So, if you can get past its many flaws—or you just enjoy repeatedly having your ass handed to you—there’s quite a bit to do here for 800 Microsoft Points (about $10).

What you're getting in Torino is the ability to play through a small set of Olympic events that feel more like field day events at an elementary school. There's no weight or gravity given to the situation and thus the majesty and the intrigue of the Olympic Games is completely sucked out of this horrendously ill-advised videogame.

A game that will only appeal to a few people. These players will have to be dedicated to the task of figuring this thing out, like a grueling math problem or logic puzzle.

It feels like it was rushed. The game suffers in the graphics and presentation departments and the sound doesn't help its case either.

The strongest part of the game…and, that said, it’s not all that strong either, with the weak elements poisoning what should have been more fun.

I felt that the game was missing depth and dynamics that keep the player on their toes and interested. I was disappointed mainly with the audio and the limited maps and areas to play on.

It’s obvious that a lot of effort was put into certain elements of the game and its presentation. But no matter how nice the car looks on the outside, if the engine isn’t working you ain’t goin’ no place. Alone in the Dark is just that, a game going no place and with no reason in the world to suffer it.

It doesn’t seem like Playlogic dug in to finish the game, which left it to work (or not work) based on its gimmicks. Sadly, those gimmicks aren’t strong enough to maintain the game across its entirety.

The "is it so bad it's funny, or just that bad" vibe runs rampant throughout this title, from the ridiculous "fighting" engine, to horrendous visuals, and absolutely laughable dialogue.

The formula is a promising one, but unfortunately it hasn't been fully realized here. Instead of being as thrilling an experience as the real thing, X-Fighters World Tour is at best mediocre, and at worst a thoroughly boring, half-assed title.

A button mashing affair with not enough substance.

The gameplay is horribly repetitive and dull, the controls are twitchy, the visuals are bland, and the audio is laughable.
