    Dead or Alive Paradise
    While Dead or Alive: Paradise may appear exciting to a sex-starved 16-year-old, the game is insulting to all other audiences; a huge backwards step in an industry desperately trying to mature. Remember this, kids: ultimately you're getting yourself worked up over polygon meshes, skin coloured textures and clever algorithms. Unless you're really struggling for ways to entertain your libido, the game should be categorically avoided.

    Master Jin Jin's IQ Challenge
    There are better 'brain trainers' available, and you can do a lot better than refining your grey matter with the distinctly average MindStorm.

    Umbrella Corps
    A confused and confusing shooter which can't capitalise on the famous franchise it leans on.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
    The game is full of good ideas tethered to a slop of bugs, but more significantly it's never much of anything. It's never varied enough to have interesting combat; it's never open enough to let you explore; it's linear but never driven enough by its narrative to be an enthralling, story-driven title.

    Far Cry Vengeance
    We expect something special from Far Cry and, frankly, Vengeance just isn't up to scratch. Like a Z-list celebrity, leave this one in the jungle.

    Speed Zone
    Scarily close to being a complete failure. There's so little here of worth that someone must have known the project would end in disaster.

    Ford Racing: Off Road
    A fairly well-paced, but fairly unadventurous racing game.

    Quantum Theory
    It looks and feels terribly dated, has next to no creative spark, completely lacks imagination and is certain to be forgotten very quickly.

    Hour of Victory
    With this winter full of high profile shooters it's almost certain that Midway felt a summer release for Hour of Victory was essential, but what's been released is hugely disappointing - especially on a console that has been relatively dross free.

    Ready 2 Rumble Revolution
    It's awful. As it is it's a disaster of a fighting game. If the boxing in Wii Sports is Amir Khan, then Ready 2 Rumble Revolution is Frank Bruno.

    Ford Racing: Off Road
    This is strictly for Land Rover obsessives. And if that's you, please, seek help.

    Kung Fu Rider
    Kung Fu Rider's bizarre and broken controls bear little correlation to what's going on in the screen, and overall the game would function far more effectively if its commands were simply mapped to a DualShock controller. It would still remain utterly terrible, however, as the game is an uninspired mess built entirely around a core conceit that gets old surprisingly fast.

    Alekhine's Gun
    Stop playing, though, and it melts away: there's nothing memorable about Alekhine's Gun on its own terms, because it doesn't exist on its own terms.

    Infernal: Hell's Vengeance
    It's incredibly dated, lacking features we expected in console games a generation ago, and almost devoid of any truly original ideas. In this battle between Heaven and Hell no one is victorious.

    Sexy Poker
    If you spend your hard-earned cash on this, you really only have yourself to blame. God may forgive you, but I won't.

    ShellShock 2: Blood Trails
    Had this been released five years ago it would still have stood out as a poorly made FPS, so released into a market with the likes of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 sitting pretty on store shelves, and Killzone 2 due any day now, it's hard to see any reason to add this to your collection.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire
    Essentially a niche game, and for the huge army of mech fans, with a little persistence and a great deal of patience there is a playable game here. Better avoided if you are not a die-hard fan.

    Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival
    Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival is a bad game. It's one of the few games I've played in recent years that I've had to demo to others, just so I know it's a real game. If you want a retro take on football, this is not it. If you want a retro take on how to make a terrible game, you're in luck.

    Fighters Uncaged
    As one of very few core games currently available for Kinect, this is the kind of tripe that will give the new technology a bad name.

    Deca Sports Freedom
    A collection of barely playable mini-games with dodgy physics, poor controls and not an ounce of charm.

    AMY
    It's as though everything the designers came up with was carelessly implemented just to aggravate you. Guess what? It will.

    Cruis'n
    The worst Wii game I've had the misfortune to play and a huge disappointment for Wii owners desperate for more arcade racing action.

    Fighter Within
    The fighting genre has always been about precision, variation and uppercutting roid-addled maniacs into the sky. Developer Daoka has scooped each of these quintessential components into the bin, leaving behind a spectacularly poor experience.

    Monopoly
    EA has managed to produce a competent virtual version of the classic board game, but we still can't recommend it over buying the real thing. You get numerous boards and the questionable Get Rich Quick mode, but you lose so much by not being able to play the way you want.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    There's little to no challenge present throughout the entire game, the story only makes sense if you already know the plot and there's a lack of things to do outside of the three main gameplay mechanics. Buy if you're a mega fan, but avoid if you like your games with even a tiny amount of depth.

    Warhawk - Operation: Omega Dawn
    The new ship and the new map look fantastic, and Omega Factory does seem to be slightly better graphically than the previous levels.

    Savage Moon: The Hera Campaign
    The Hera Campaign is a wonderful addition to the portable Tower Defence family, and a perfect fit on the PSP. It's hard and depressing, but if you put in the effort, you won't be disappointed.

    Super Meat Boy
    Super Meat Boy is one of the reasons I play video games. It's bright, huge, colourful, funny and painfully annoying.

    Cart Cow
    While it lives in danger of being filed away in that section of your brain that stores vague memories of forgotten train timetables, it's a surprisingly clever game that deserves to be played.

    Sky Burger
    It's a shame the difficulty ramp is essentially non-existent, but Sky Burger is still surprisingly challenging even in its vanilla state. If only the reality of being a career burger stacker was that fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Blades of Fury
    While Blades of Fury is not the real deal, it's as close as we can get to at the moment, and that is not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops - Annihilation
    Annihilation is more than a simple map pack, of course.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    774 DEATHS
    774 Deaths is hard to recommend, which is oddly befitting for a game that's been custom built to be agonising every step of the way. If you like a challenge then it's an interesting curio you can really sink your teeth into, but give it a miss if you get frustrated easily.

    Traffic Wonder
    Traffic Wonder is a surprise, then - it's surprisingly difficult, for a start, but it's also a very pleasant surprise that a game of such fiendish quality can exist in one of the most tedious and oversubscribed genres currently polluting the App Store.

    Battlefield 3: Armored Kill
    Armored Kill is proof that DICE is still the best in the business at crafting these colossal worlds in which to play, and it's an expansion that makes Battlefield 3 feel vital and current once again.

    Battlefield 3: Aftermath
    It's easy to lump all military online shooters together and cast them aside if they're not your bag, but going back into the Battlefield is as rewarding an experience as I've had online this silly season.

    300: Rise of an Empire - Seize Your Glory Game
    Don't play it, though, obviously. It's rubbish.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts - Nemesis
    This is the last of the map packs, and that's undoubtedly a good thing.

    TRON RUN/r
    TRON RUN/r is one of the most entertaining and spectacular runners around, but that has come at a price.

    Replica
    An interesting phone-hacking game which draws from the player's real-world experiences to good effect.

    Kitty Powers' Love Life
    Kitty Powers is back, and she's giving you a lot to grab onto. Love Life isn't paced quite as well as Matchmaker, but organising the entire relationship of a town full of couples is a great challenge. Kitty always leaves you wanting more.

    Kine
    If you’ve got a mind for puzzles, Kine is great. If you’re into the narrative, Kine might make you feel like an afterthought.

    Madden NFL 23
    From control to innovation, Madden 23 delivered one of its best full game experiences to date. However, a push for creativity has led to stark inconsistencies from year to year, leaving many unsatisfied with modes like Face of the Franchise.

    Palworld
    Palworld is a game of bare minimums, unscrupulous and soulless, designed by the numbers to hit all the right notes to keep you hooked on its addictive catch-grind-craft loop. [Early Access Provisional Score = 50]

    • Critic Score
    Nightingale
    Nightingale doesn’t bring anything groundbreaking to the survival genre, and its gameplay is overburdened with bloat and needlessly time-consuming mechanics. [Early Access Score = 40]

    • Critic Score
    Manor Lords
    Manor Lords is a complex and seductive spin on the city builder that may not defy conventions but has the makings of a genre-heavyweight. [Early Access Score = 80]
