Gleamlight tries to mix-up a formula that we've seen before, and falls some way of short. Despite some interesting features, it's biggest problem is that it's not fun to play.

A decade ago Arcania would be a pretty decent RPG. Time has not been friendly to this game and repackaging something that was never a classic to begin with is a misguided move.

Rugby 18 is a broken mess of a game and a dreadful representation of a beloved British sport.

An incongruously designed mess that should be avoided at all costs. Awful framerate, poor storytelling, and monotonous mazes make Dollhouse one of the worst games in decades.

Lacking any polish, challenge or interesting story the game doesn’t offer anything that hasn’t already been done many times before and far better.

What we are left with is a dull, broken button-masher of a campaign, a risible, barely playable multiplayer game, and a couch co-op which puts most players on a level playing field with Mr. Magoo.

Even if the film did do surprisingly well at the box office, you’ll easily spot the slug trails that accompany Turbo: Super Stunt Squad as it crawls its way into the bargain bin.

Alekhine’s Gun would have scraped by had it not had the hubris to call itself ‘Best Cold War Shooter’. It’s barefaced cheek to appropriate the Hitman formula to a different time is interesting, were it not taking everything else from a franchise that has just revamped itself.

7 Days to Die had the potential to be something impressive but with frequent glitches and game freezes it falls well short of being the game it could so easily be.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is an abomination on every level: a dull, cynical and irreparably flawed mess which is as mindless and soulless as its antagonists.

Terrible AI leaves this as the most unconvincing World Cup simulator possible. Not recommended.

Fighter Within on the Xbox 360 would be a disaster reduced to a footnote, ignored and left to wither. As a launch title for the new generation it’s worse: a parasite, feeding off the goodwill and desperation of early-adopters. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Let’s leave it with Jake’s own words, spoken as if holding up a mirror to his own life: “Swear to god - I’d rather be polishing boots than sit through this crap.”

Wander of the Dragons is a disgrace; an unfinished, untested, unenjoyably wretched excuse for a gaming experience. There is literally nothing to recommend here.

A game that does have charm and a kookiness in its presentation, however the puzzles and exploration aren’t particularly gripping.

Overall a very shallow game although I wouldn’t really have expected anything else from a game made to cash in on the latest line of dolls.

Hungry Giraffe is an addictive, colourful game that will provide some entertainment for those looking for a quick gaming fix, rather than settling in for an epic story-driven HD experience. However, the novelty factor won’t last long with both the gameplay and the game’s quirky nature becoming repetitive and frustrating fairly quickly.

Even with the allure of the movie license younger gamers probably aren’t going to stick with the game for too long as this game has been done many times before, and much better.

If you can get past the rough visuals, repetitive (but skippable) cutscenes, untidy commentary and a lack of real-world authenticity from some areas, you’ll find a fair bit to enjoy in Rugby Challenge 2. It’s accessible, fast-moving and probably the best rugby game available on the current consoles; with a bit of extra care and investment though, it could have been so much better.

Overall then, Omniverse 2 is unlikely to appeal to anyone other than a subset of ardent fans with exceptional staying power, who are willing to overlook its deathly dull combat, crass voicework and utterly repetitive gameplay.

Ultimately what you have here is a visual guidebook (which is great but not really helpful at home on your PC) overlayed with an interactive romance novel, where the protagonist has minimal input to the final outcome, unless they know where you need to go to get the girl you want.

Broken Sword 5 is difficult to judge when considered alone, the combined game proves itself better than the sum of its individual parts, and playing the game in an episodic manner makes it feel like someone took a hatchet to a perfectly fine game and then split it apart – and then had the impudence to not even make sure the join was neat.

For anyone with the slightest interest in artillery-based games or naval strategy games, this is a must buy, especially considering its low asking price.

Falling Skies: The Game does, at least, play as it is supposed to; there don’t appear to be any glitches, and you’ll probably enjoy the first few missions. After that, however, it rapidly wears thin.

So, even if all you’re after is just another fun platformer on your mobile, give this a try; you might just learn something.

Monopoly Family Fun Pack has been poorly marketed, poorly targeted and poorly executed, to the point where we’re not entirely sure why this package exists. You can find fun on the classic board in Monopoly Plus, but at that point it just seems better to be playing on the physical game board.

A Good Snowman is Hard to Build feels like a game jam that has been polished beyond its initial remit.

It’s a waste of a concept, and speaking truly, you’d be better off finding a fly and throwing your television at it in real life. Honestly – you’ll probably have more fun.
