    This game isn't just a little disappointing. It's by far the worst game to come out this year so far. It's too short and above all very inspirationless.

    If you are crazy about motors and won't be bothered by the fact that the controls are not always responding well and the graphics are weak? Then this game is a nice title for you to pick up and play. Keep in mind that the game pretty quickly repeats itself. If you're not in to motorcycles, then you better not buy any of this.

    Although Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon brings some amusement, when you start playing the game is quite disappointing. This is due too the very simple gameplay, a repetitive level design and inelaborate RPG elements.

    In essence, Ridge Racer Vita is a pretty fun racer with some interesting concepts. It is sold for a far too high price and with far too little content however, seriously holding back the game's potential.

    Mindjack teaches us that a good concept doesn't always evolve into a good game. Square Enix should really think about all the mistakes they've made if they ever want to create a successor.

    Terminator Salvation is a good action game if you are looking for a game with an offline co-op feature. But that's the only fun factor in Salvation. The storyline is far too short, you can complete it within a few hours, and therefore it's not worth the money.

    Devil's Third had much promise, but the game turned out to be a huge disappointment. With an unoriginal storyline, boring weapons, inconsistent frame rate and unfairly difficult bosses. It's hard to recommend this game to anyone.

    Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery is very interesting for casual gamers and fans of the series. But the gameplay lacks potential and the game is frustrating when asking you to wait or pay for energy. The game has a lot of content, but it only succeeds in killing time.

    Blood Knights is like a bad B-movie. However, this game belongs in the category of really bad B-movies. There are a lot of hack ā€˜n’ slash games which are a lot better than Blood Knights. A disgrace for the genre.

    Hatred fails to both be a properly working game and to thoroughly shock. While it does its best to hammer its 'no philosophy'-philosophy home, it doesn't make much of a statement at all.

    Ape Escape Move is actually a mini-game because even for an on-rails shooter this game is short. The gameplay is way too easy, creating a very boring experience. After a few hours you'll toss this out of the window and play one of the better Move games available.

    Unfortunately the game has not become the game it could have been. The only thing that earns a satisfactory is the sound and that's all. Maybe, if the game ever makes it's way to 30 euro's and you're looking for a fun co-op, this one is recommended.

    While Omerta has a great gangster style with the black and white photos and jazz music, the gameplay itself feels more like work than playing a videogame. The animations in the fighting scenes are stiff, and the only thing that changes when your influence on Atlantic City grows are the emblems above the houses. All missions start up slow, and especially in the first few hours you are constantly waiting for your henchmen to finish their task.

    Super Dungeon Bros has little to no originality. It is repetitive and there is almost no variation. The weapons are not effective, but on the bright side the game is a bit more fun in multiplayer. Still, the game is just not worth buying.

    Naughty Bear had all the ingredients to become a great game but somewhere things went wrong. The game has a great concept but will only keep you amused for about two hours. After that, you'll be hitting yourself on the head for buying this game at full price.

    Because of the lack of depth and a boring gameplay you will only play this title one or at most two times. After that it will rust in the Wii. So it's a waste of money to buy this game.

    With a great background, warzone in Vietnam, this is a fun game to pick up and fly around, shooting commies. The sound effects of the Air Conflicts are really good, but with walls in the levels it curtails the openness of this game.

    Although the looks of Battle: Los Angeles are acceptable, the length of the game is not. The price doesn't justify the quality of the game and you'll find yourself longing for a good game even before you reach the end of this incredibly mediocre game, that doesn't even last two hours.

    ENKI is a game that tries to deliver a replayable horror game, but does not really succeed in doing that. The game is far too short for its price, and the randomisation makes the game annoying more than replayable. Because of that, ENKI fails to convince.

    What should've been a nice RPG, turned out to be a mediocre, monotonous game. The battles can be spectacular, but the lack of strategy makes it somewhat redundant. There couldn't be a better anime to base an RPG on, but the way the story is told is bland and can even be irritating at times.

    Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime combines average level design, bad AI and repetitive gameplay. You will probably be happy when you see the credits.

    Star Trek is a game that fails on almost every aspect. It just isn't finished and feels like a rushed job. The only really positive thing is the voice acting.

    Bloodforge is too hard and too frustrating to enjoy. It's impossible to change the difficulty of the game, there aren't enough places to heal and the gameplay keeps repeating itself. The graphics are great, but the camera is not. Another great part of the frustration is the boring music, that starts when there are enemies on screen and ends when they have been eliminated.

    Prison Break: The Conspiracy shows you in the right way the whole prison and the story of Michael. Unfortunately the graphics scores far below and the gameplay is a little disappointing. These are the factors, the final grade of this game is nearly enough.

    Tennis World Tour is a disgrace for everyone who loves tennis. Don't buy this game, it's a waste of money and time.

    This XIII Remake was supposed to allow fans of the original to relive their memories in a way that was suited to modern hardware and gameplay norms. Sadly, this game failed to deliver due to a questionable choice of art-direction, last gen controls and many, many flaws and bugs that hamper the game.

    Dragon's Lair is not the game you're looking for on Xbox Live. The controls don't work well and you don't need a lot of time to beat the entire game. So leave your sword where it is, because Dragon's Lair doesn't ever make you feel like a knight.
