If you must pick up this title because of a significant other, then buy another version. I can’t guarantee the controls will be better, but you’ll save a few bucks and the GCN version does play on the Wii as well.

Meet the Robinsons is the archetypal licensed game - it just exists to push the license, it does nothing new, it derives much of its gameplay from other, far better and more popular games, and doesn’t need to be played by anyone outside of the license’s fanbase.

If you’re really into battleship warfare, or looking for something to get your grandfather who’s a World War Two navy vet that needs something else to play on his DS besides Brain Age, you’ll like this game. Everyone else should go play Advance Wars: DS or one of its earlier titles.

Wing Island is classic early console fodder: something that sits on the shelf next to good games and waits for clueless customers to pick the game up before it shows up in the budget bin for more clueless customers to buy because of its price tag.

A bottom of the barrel poker game. It does have some cool things that most other poker games don’t like craps, and sports betting, but the bad far outweighs the good. Avoid this one at all costs.

Pocket Racer[s] screams budget title in every way. The gameplay is generic even by mid-’90s standards, the graphics are bland, and the sound will leave you wanting a lot more.

Gothic 3 is not a budget title, for $40 I expect a pleasant gameplay experience not frustration. That’s like paying a guy $40 to punch you in the face repeatedly.

Taken as a whole, Over the Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts is an average game with a unique premise. While it controls just fine, there’s too little excitement here to really recommend a purchase to anyone.

Even for you gamerscore whores, sitting through this one for the 1000 points would kill you. Even with its budget price, it’s not worth the headaches that the anything but random card shuffling and tedious tournaments would bring you.

Probably the worst Bomberman game to ever be unleashed upon the public. Just about everything you ever liked about the franchise has been destroyed and little good has been created.

ProStroke Golf – World Tour 2007 is an obvious first attempt into the genre. Hopefully, the feedback can be taken well by the developer, as they could, some day, have a good golf game on our hands that doesn’t have the name Links or Tiger Woods.

But the real problem with Stacked is that it’s not worth the price tag. You can get the same gameplay for drastically less.

We’re given a lame cooking ability for the fish you’ve caught which isn’t necessary at all.

Boring, repetitive and not even close to being fun whatsoever.

Even die-hard fans should steer clear of purchasing this, as there just isn’t enough of a game here to justify spending $40 on.

While the game controls nicely, the frame rate is bad, the gameplay is bland and boring; there’s simply no fun to be found in the title. Simply put, it’s a bad port of an already bad PS2 game.

The gameplay is horrendous with clunky control, button mashing repetitiveness, and a headache inducing camera system.

The only thing that saves this game from getting a big fat zero is that the graphics look good, it has plenty of bells and whistles (costumes Frogger can wear, multiplayer, challenge mode, etc.) and the background music goes well with the levels.

The gameplay is too repetitive and boring to be worth anything, the main game can be beaten within seven or eight hours, and the extras offered just aren’t worth coming back for.

The emulation of the arcade games are perfectly nailed and it's a shame that it was wasted on such a poor game selection.

Even though this is a budget title, I recommend that you save your $19.99 and put it towards a driving game that will keep you entertained via the actual racing mechanisms, rather than the same running joke.

If my Mom ever bought me a game like this when I was little, I might have had a tantrum.

There’s nothing done well here that wasn’t already done in the Force modes, which is quite sad.

The controls in Torrente are hideous. Sluggish control of the character, whether that be in 1st or 3rd person mode, is constantly apparent.

The few genuine improvements are easily forgotten amid the many things that were made worse from the first game into this one.

Nice try, Eurocom, but let’s face it: the track and field genre of videogames is still dead. Honestly, developers should just give up on making them.

As much as it pains me (a long-time SNK fighting fan) to say this, SVC Chaos is probably the worst overall fighter I've ever played from SNK.

A poor game for no matter what it is priced at. I can’t recommend a purchase or rental, even if you are a huge survival horror junkie. Curse is well, just that.
