    Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys
    Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys is the kind of game that you can take with you on a trip and play in bite-sized chunks, but the forgettable puzzles and overabundance of dull stages do nothing to help the feeling that it's trying to drag out the dead for as long as it can.

    Emergency Mayhem
    The overall feeling given by Emergency Mayhem is that of a game that tries entirely too hard to mimic the most successful title in this genre, and fails rather badly on all counts.

    Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis
    I felt that this title lost a lot of the charm of The Awakened by reducing the number of investigation segments and keeping the story rooted to one place. Fans of Sherlock Holmes or adventure games should go out of their way to pick up this title.

    Major League Baseball 2K8: Fantasy All-Stars
    An absolute sham of a game, full of broken mechanics and proof that when you carry a gimmick too far, you end up with something that no one wants to play.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Ikaruga
    If you're not sold on Ikaruga, then you probably aren't hardcore enough for it. Even if you are hardcore enough for it, you'll be chewed up, spit out, and left out to dry.

    Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition
    But while Assassin's Creed is not perfect, it is technically stunning, and the gorgeous visuals alone are almost worth the sticker price alone.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 2
    The Real Bout spin-offs are not the best of the entire series (and I will not introduce a debate over this, except that it's Mark of the Wolves), and much of the system has been one-upped by the King of Fighters series in the decade since.

    Overclocked: A History of Violence
    The graphics and sound work really well together to create the atmosphere.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    FlatOut: Head On
    Aside from the races in FlatOut mode, FlatOut: Head On is one of the most genuinely fun and entertaining racers I've picked up in a long time.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis
    It isn't particularly deep or thought-provoking, or noticeably challenging. It's just fun.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Octomania
    Ultimately, Octomania comes off as a shining example of what a puzzle title can do despite being burdened with cultural barriers a mile wide and irritating characters.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Cleopatra: Riddle of the Tomb
    While the story is certainly on the light side and the sound is kind of weak, the gameplay and the puzzles more than make up for it.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    TiQal
    There really is not much to TiQal. If you play the demo for five minutes, you've pretty much mastered all there is to the game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Dark Sector
    Dark Sector is a very good game; the off-world, strikingly science-fiction oriented FPS demonstrated years ago bears very little resemblance to what has been shrink-wrapped and shipped off to your local game retailers — and that's a very good thing.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Dark Sector
    One should go into the title with the knowledge that there isn't much of a story, and some of the gameplay can get pretty frustrating.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Universe at War: Earth Assault
    Universe at War: Earth Assault is a fantastic game marred by technical issues aplenty.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Obscure: The Aftermath
    All in all, Obscure: The Aftermath is a hodgepodge of poorly implemented design ideas and sub-par horror elements.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Viking: Battle for Asgard
    There may be a good game in there somewhere, but it falls into a standard hack-and-slash rut of boring and uninspired gameplay that leaves you wanting more from the experience.

    Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3
    Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 is a really fun fighting game when it actually allows you to fight.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
    Exceptionally entertaining.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Warriors Orochi
    The developers have gotten this design down, but a complete lack of innovation and some poorly implemented features cripples Warriors Orochi.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
    Just like saying you wouldn't date Cindy Crawford because of her mole, refusing to play Crisis Core based on these small issues amounts to simply being overly nitpicky.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
    If Tiberium Wars left you hungry for more rush-heavy, adrenaline-inducing RTS action and you can bear the bad acting, Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath will not disappoint you.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Condemned 2: Bloodshot
    Condemned 2: Bloodshot will stand well against the competition in action, horror and even most shooter games, just on the merit of being a sequel improving on the original, rather than slipping beneath its foundation like so much land-filled garbage.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    SingStar '90s
    In some alternate reality where the Guitar Hero developers had been hit by a bus before making their game, this title might have a chance as a party game; as it stands, it doesn't even rank second place.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Worms: A Space Oddity
    Perhaps the most damning criticism of Worms: A Space Oddity is that, aside from the motion controls, it's the exact same thing that you've already played a hundred times before.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
    Clap Hanz has taken complete advantage of the capabilities that the PS3 has offered players in creating an approachable golf outing for both veterans and newbies alike.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Sega Superstars Tennis
    The game is even fun at first, until you hit the curse of repetitive gameplay and inconsistent AI, which is where it all falls apart.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sega Superstars Tennis
    People seeking a tennis game that's actually fun or intuitive should look elsewhere.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sega Superstars Tennis
    So, bottom line: should you get Sega Superstars Tennis? If all you have is a Wii, then even with its shortcomings compared to other versions, absolutely. Pick up a Classic Controller while you're at it for the mission mode.
