For a system as powerful as the Xbox 360 – which I’m sure could make a digital sandwich so convincing, it would have gamers around the globe trying to bite their TVs – Fantastic Four is a huge letdown. Character models and environments are boring and lack detail. If anything it all looks like a higher-resolution version of an ugly PS2 game.

Kids have done this all before over and over again in more distinct and sleeker settings. Besides the cool runaway Robot sequences there's nothing that's challenging, innovative or eye-catching about Zathura.

Most of the adventure is spent exploring the ruins on a desert island while fighting monkeys and other pirates, and it’s not a terrible idea for a game it’s just so poorly executed that it’s impossible to recommend, even at a budget price.

Left Behind: Eternal Forces oscillates between the boring and the aggravating and is far from ever being a rapturous experience.

2K could have opted to do something truly revolutionary but instead they opted to time travel back to 1983 and give us another 'Hyper Olympic' clone. That approach just really doesn't cut it in 2006.

Pocket Pool largely fails as a billiards simulation, and completely fails as a source of titillation. Go to the local pool hall and talk to some flesh and blood women instead.

Games like this ought to be easy to pick up and play, but “Crash Boom Bang” is so confusing and unnecessarily complicated that it will make any player shut off the DS in frustration.

Parents might suffer alarming flashbacks of their own wedding planning fiascos but the wee ones will have great fun exercising their creativity while also learning to follow instructions.

A quick but surprisingly enjoyable diversion. It's recommended only for younger gamers who likely won’t be able to point out the game’s obvious shortcomings like its graphics and almost complete lack of memorable sound.

With surprisingly good graphics for a GBA title, the gameplay is never boring since Phil and his friends are shuttled around quickly from one Blah emergency to the next.

This could have been a fun little game if the levels weren't so darn frustrating. In the case of The Wild you probably won't hear this often but – you may be better off renting the movie.

Although the animations have a lot of character, the gameplay is overly simplistic and often repetitive. Only fans of the series need apply.
