    Sonic Adventure did not age well at all. The camera is frustrating and the voice overs are very weak. People who are looking for nostalgia could buy this game but even they should wait for Sonic Colors to come out.

    Calling has become a total failure. Fans of the Japanese horror genre will like this game but only if they wait for the price drop. The only gamers that will find this game creepy are the ones who aren't allowed to play it: children under the age of twelve.

    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.

    Zombieland Double Tap was a great movie. The game with the subtitle Roadtrip is not so great. Its upsides are the co-op for four players and it's short levels. Unfortunately, there are a lot of downsides. The game is way too short and doesn't always save your progress. Next to that the game never gets really interesting. This could be much better.

    Rise of Nightmares was supposed to be a great game with excellent Kinect controls that was perfect for the hardcore gamers. However, due to poorly developed controls, Rise of Nightmares is a failed project.

    Enemy Front is a game that tries to do the right thing. Unfortunately it fails on most aspects and doesn't entertain for long because of it.

    Just skip this edition. The commentators are literally ten year old and haven’t changed in a such a long time. It seems Pro Cycling Manager 2013 was just assembled from the 2012 edition. No changes whatsoever, even though it welcomes newcomers okay.

    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.

    Space Jam A New Legacy The Game doesn't really tie in with the movie. Instead of focusing on basketball, it lets you fight AL-G Rythm's goons in a brawler and a very flat and short one at that. The game can be finished in thirty minutes and even faster if you play with three players. It looks good, but the gameplay is simple. If your kids can't wait to see the movie the game is a good warmup, but nothing more than that.

    Star Raiders feels like it's a cheap port from the original arcade classic but the graphics tell otherwise. Other then the graphics this game is a downer on every level. The controls are strange, the gameplay lacks variation and the storyline is just boring.

    Terminator Resistance is yet another faulty game based on a movie. The fanservice is the best part of the entire game. Next to that, the graphics are bad, the Terminators are not that intelligent or frightening, and the world and missions are not interesting. Which could have been a shooter to remember has turned out to be another bad part in a series of bad iterations.

    If you want to dance on your Wii you better buy Just Dance. It's a much better game than Michael Jackson: The Experience because this one has failed massively and it would cause the King of Pop to turn around in his grave.

    Hoodwink is a game that obviously plays it safe, by following the traditional point & click path. So don't expect any form of originality. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but because this game suffers from many other annoying flaws. Like the disability to skip cutscenes and the presence of a main character that is a complete slowpoke, means you are better off using your detective skills elsewhere.

    Godzilla is a game that could have been fun, but the lack of depth and variety destroy the game. The controls are slow and strange. Added to that, the game misses all the necessary details and m,manages to become dull fast.

    There will be a group of people that will love this game, but most people won't. You have to have so much patient, strategic insight and commitment, it is a tough game to really enjoy. There are so many RPG's that are way better, why waste your time on this one?

    Although the game is a good try, it does not accomplish what you expect. Only real RTS-gamers should consider buying this title.

    It's so incredibly disappointing kids have to play with such mediocre titles nowadays. Marvel Super Hero Squad Online is one of those games that never manages to succeed in anything it tries to accomplish. There's simply so little to do, this title is not worth of carrying the great Marvel name.

    The franchise has been murdered by Team Ninja itself. Every little thing that made the previous games so great has disappeared in Ninja Gaiden 3.

    New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis isn't worth buying. If you like to play tennis on your Wii, stick to Wii Sports or wait until Virtua Tennis 2009 comes out.

    It's easy to fall in love with Monochroma's style, but the stiff and slow responsiveness of the controls and the annoying brother on your back, makes it a tough challenge to complete the game.

    Tappingo offers nothing to challenge the player. You will be doing the same thing over and over again without any variety. If you have some hours to kill you could spend your free moments with Tappingo but there are better alternatives available for the 3DS.

    SEGA Bass Fishing is just a copy of the original game. That's quite unfortunate,because this title could have been decent if SEGA took the time to put some more work into it. If you're a die hard fisherman, you may have fun with SEGA Bass Fishing. If not, it's best you leave this game at the bottom of the ocean, right where it belongs.

    With a little more time and attention, Top Gun could have been a decent flight simulator. If you're into flying games, buy one that takes itself more serious.

    AereA has good intentions with its musical theme, but unfortunately it doesn’t work out. The aiming is bad, the game is way too easy and gets boring quite fast. The co-op is quite entertaining the first moments, but just for a while.

    Divinity II: Ego Draconis is an enjoyable and nice game when you play it on the PC. However, the Xbox 360 port of this game turned out so poorly, that playing as a dragon is the only thing that can make you smile a little bit.
