    Super Pokémon Rumble might offer a lot of collectable pokémon and some decent looks, but it all boils down to monotonous buttonbashing through repetitive environments with a lot of useless attacks. Stay away!

    Alter Ego has a good basic gameplay but everything else is riddled with flaws. The puzzles are too simple, the ending is disappointing and the animations just aren't impressive.

    Wasteland Angel brings old-school arcade action to the PC. Outfitted with a heavily armored car called Gipsy, unlimited firepower and a thirst for vengeance, the game is a nostalgic throw-back to the era of arcade shooters. The game is however way to repetitive, easy and lacks a multiplayer mode.

    Samurai Warriors 3 proves that not all Nintendo co-productions make up for a successful game. Almost every aspect of the game is a disappointment and not even the great online co-op can save this game.

    Knock-Knock is a game you want to love because it has a nice, freaky style. Unfortunately, the game itself feels like repetitive work which makes it very unattractive. For a horror videogame, we do not think Knock-Knock is scary enough. Too bad, because we would have enjoyed figuring out what that weird key character is up to.

    We give developer Rebellion a pat on the back for trying something original in the shooter genre, but it simply doesn't work that well. The story is dumb and so is main character Bryce. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and gets really frustrating, really fast.

    The idea of running and jumping on your own music library sounds exciting, it is to bad Rush Bros doesn't deliver what it's promising. The levels lack inspiration and the music you play seems to have little effect on Rush Bros. Also the controls are to stiff for a game like this.

    Dungeons And Dragons: Daggerdale barely has any memorable features to it, as it is nothing more than a generic dungeon crawler. This is worsened by the repetitive missions and a lack of checkpoints. The decent controls and the co-op add a little enjoyment, but cannot save this game from disaster.

    Although Techland brings some nice ideas into the Call of Juarez universe, the game ultimately fails to deliver because of a way too typical story, dated graphics, loads of bugs and a total misunderstanding of the concept 'Wild West'. The Cartel is a major step back for the franchise and we would have been better off without it.

    We found Dragon Ball Z: Budokai HD Collection to be boring and incredibly monotonous. Dragon Ball Z used to be a great television series, an awesome franchise. But what is left is something that will most probably only appeal to twenty-something men in search of nostalgia.

    If you add up the numbers, Carrier Command: Gaea Mission is kind of a middle-class game. The concept is fine, really. However the cut scenes, voices and first person shooter part of the game are far from that. The new Carrier Command leaves us disappointed in its wake.

    Despite the fact that the franchise was a lot of fun all those years ago, the Golden Axe games can't stand their ground in 2012. This collection is a must-have for the fans of the series. If you're looking for a beat' m up: there are better alternatives available.

    Terrorhedron could have been a great game in its genre. Like an ugly duckling that you wouldn't have chosen in the first place, but would have been glad when you did after all. This is not the case for this game, unfortunately. Awful graphics, combined with even worse camera settings, lead to the fact you should keep playing Tetris if you want a good old fashioned nostalgic trip.

    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.

    Bang Bang Racing gives the player a real arcade feeling. Unfortunately the game lacks creativity. There isn't a whole lot of content and after a short time you have seen the same circuits enough to get bored of them. With a camera angle that doesn't work properly you can say that Bang Bang Racing has failed to impress.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior starts off very convincing but in a short amount of time all the good things in this game will fade away. You shouldn't even get this game if the store clerk gave you money to take it home.

    Bubble Bobble 4 Friends tries to capture the magic from the original, but it fails in the end. The gameplay is enjoyable, but it becomes stale really quick, there is no challenge to speak of and the price is too high for what you're getting.

    With a mediocre story, and infuriating new mechanics, The Edge of Fate makes it clear that Destiny 2’s best days are behind it. With many softlocks and glitches to boot, the new expansion is simply a big old mess.

    You must be a really big Tekken fan if you want to buy Tekken Hybrid. This collection does so many things wrong in so many ways that it's a disgrace to the Tekken franchise. Your best bet is to wait for the release of Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

    One Piece World Seeker has ambition, but fails to perfect the execution. The camera is horrible, side quests don't add anything and the large island feels empty. Thankfully the many skills and interesting main quests save what little there is left.

    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.

    You might remember this game from when you were a kid, but this game has lost all of its magic after thirty long years. The gameplay just doesn't hold up any more.

    Frustration and kite flying, those are the things that Kite Fight has to offer as a game. When you really want to fly a kite then please go outside, because that would be so much more fun.

    A franchise as big as A Song of Ice and Fire deserves a big and popular game. Instead, Genesis is a not so interesting strategy game with a very slow gameplay. The fights aren't impressive and you can't even save during a mission. The multiplayer is one of the only good parts, making Genesis only interesting for people who want to know more about the backstory of 'A Song of Ice and Fire'.
