    MXGP2 doesn't deserve to be the only motocross game of this generation. The game looks ugly, it's technically outdated and has lots of bugs. Don't buy this one.

    IronFall Invasion is probably the most boring game on the Nintendo 3DS. There is some fun to be had in the multiplayer, but the terrible voice acting, mediocre graphics and lack of depth make IronFall a complete waste of time.

    The latest game in the Ferrari franchise has been a huge let down due to some licensing problems. The graphics are simply bad and it feels like developer System 3 had to rush this game to get it in stores before the holidays.

    It took Konami 25 years to make a second Rush'N Attack game but this isn't what we were waiting for. The gameplay is very repetitive and the only strenghts of Ex-Patriot are its nice graphics. Definitely not worth your money.

    TT Isle of Man is not the game we hoped it would be. It lacks in content, which makes the game feel very repetitive after a few hours. It's certainly not worth the price it's asking.

    The Muppets Movie Adventures is a very short and simple game. It offers not much depth, but more important, only five levels. It looks nice, but not great, and the same goes for the gameplay. It's just too simple.

    You can better spend your money on alternative quiz games. One can only appreciate this game if he or she possesses a huge amount of movie knowledge.

    Nier wants too much and therefore fails. The gameplay is not challenging, the graphics are below standard and there is no originality whatsoever. So, just don't buy this game.

    Forspoken has a good foundation, but is a mess in execution due to a horrible protagonist, dull combat and technical problems. While there is enough to do in this pretty-looking open world it amounts to very little and so does the story.

    The multiplayer options are bafflingly poorly thought-out, which rules this game out as a fun party game. Although some questions are interesting, Battle Trivia Knockout is an uninspired, luck-riddled and overall very limited quiz game.

    Primal Fears fails to create the survival horror feel and as an arcade shooter it's also a huge letdown. The only thing positive about this game is the co-op mode, but even this feels as a disappointment since you can only play with people from your friend list.

    Brave Soldiers is the example of how not to make a game. It’s too simple, the differences between the characters aren’t noticeable and the story is too complicated to understand. Even though it offers us a lot of content, it doesn’t impress us in any way.

    Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is the worst game in the Dragon Ball Z franchise in a while. Too simplistic graphical style, no local multiplayer and transforming and charging your powers isn’t even mentioned. A disgrace to the great anime series.

    It´s disappointing that The Sacred Tears TRUE doesn´t impress, as the love of the developers is clearly visible and the game has some interesting ideas. Especially the fighting system sounds promising in theory, but fails to deliver an exciting strategic experience.

    Every Tekken game has a lot to offer, but Tekken 3D Prime Edition doesn't have a lot of content. This makes for one hollow experience.

    Lemmings Touch brings that good old formula to the PlayStation Vita, but does not do that exactly right. The touch controls don't go hand in hand with the gameplay, and the graphics look really outdated. Unless you are a big fan of the series, you can better let this game slip through your fingers.

    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.

    If you are looking or a game with loads of content, Dynasty Warriors should be your thing. It's too bad that the storytelling in this game isn't that great.

    Breach looks nice, but does not offer anything innovative except for the magnificent destruction. Everything does feel a bit clinical and adrenaline is nowhere to be found in the game. If you buy this game for 1200 Microsoft Points, you will be disappointed because it's just not worth it.

    Syberia 3 is a missed opportunity. The game has a nice story and some puzzles are very fun to solve, but the bad controls, the drops in framerate and the awful lip syncing ruin the experience.

    Gomo didn't turn out to be a very great game. It's really short, the puzzles are very easy, and the controls are a pain in the ass. It's definitely not the best option If you were looking for a point-and-click adventure.

    It's time to stop making James Bond games in such a short time. 007 Legends isn't legendary at all. It completely fails in different ways. Too bad.

    The concept of Hole in the Wall may seem perfect for Kinect but it absolutely isn't. There are only two game modes and the game seems rushed, not always registering your body as it should. All of this adds up to a game that should be ignored by people who have Kinect.

    Sony delivers a very bad Move-game and that loses the fight with Wii Fit and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012. Move Fitness doesn't feel like a real fitness game and never really stimulates you to keep on going.

    The only thing that improved since the Wii versions of Mario & Sonic are the graphics. That alone is not worth your money.

    Arma III is a disgrace for the gaming world. It feels like it’s rushed to the market and still in the alpha phase of developing. Bohemia Interactive will have to release a buck load of patches to make this game work properly. This is unfortunate as they could have spent that time trying to deliver a good game.

    The Crew Calling All Units is something you should not acknowledge. After paying a lot of money to get access to the content of the expansion, you are asked in-game to pay again, to really get access to the already paid for content.

    Iron Front really has a realistic atmosphere, there's a lot of different modes to choose from and the German/Russian voices are done well. The game is not really playable though, because it crashes a lot. Cutscenes cannot be skipped and there are some important explanations missing.
