Critic Score 33
It's a slow-paced shooter with shoddy AI, dated graphics and a frustrating design. Even though it's good for a few irreverent laughs, it's not worth paying for, even in the bargain bin. -

The single player is boring, arrestingly conventional and entirely forgettable. The multiplayer is slightly better, though mostly because of its options and not because of its gameplay. -

There's essentially no reason to pick up World Series of Poker. Scratch that, there is no reason to pick up World Series of Poker. Regardless of the fact that it's a portable version of Hold 'em, Omaha and whatnot, it's still not worth snagging. -

Even as a budget game, Baja 1000 is a poor attempt at virtual off-road racing. The vehicles aren’t satisfying to drive, the overall presentation is poor and everything looks and feels slapped together. If you’re looking for just the barest of bare-bones racers, Baja 1000 certainly fits that description. -

Nearly every gamplay mechanic fails in one way or another. While the game is functional, Alone in the Dark is a clear case of something that needed to be baked in the oven longer. The overall concept is solid, but the testing phase seems to have been glossed over. -

Wonderworld Amusement Park has no personality; no soul. There's nothing on offer here that other Wii mini-game collections haven't already beaten to death. What's worse, many of these games are frustrating or have unresponsive controls. -

Demon World is an easy contender for what is quite possibly the most horrid interface I've yet to see in an RTS. Not only is it unresponsive, backwards, and twitchy, but nothing is clearly defined. -

If you're looking for a slow moving game with sub-par graphics, poor gameplay, and horrible controls, then Mistmare is the game for you. -

The game is simply not fun. There is too much of a clash between real time and turn-based strategy that translates into a magnitude of frustration. -

Critic Score 30
A poor game, with all of the markings of a bad game, from shoddy control, no skill required, and simply too many things happening on screen simultaneously. -

Critic Score 30
Rail detection is suspect, and simply controlling your skater's movements after an ollie is difficult at times. The level design doesn't help matters, with short lines, confusing visual layouts that are easy to get lost in, and architecture that will frequently get you stuck in corners. -

The interface needs work, folks. The mechanics need work. The fun factor really isn't there, and there isn't even a compelling story to make it worth wading through a game that feels like it should have come out as shareware several years ago.. I liked the music, though. -

You even remotely on the fence about drag racing, you still go far, far away from IHRA Drag Racing 2005 for it is one of the worst ideas for a racing title to hit the PlayStation 2 and it makes little to no effort to make this sport accessible to anyone. -

This is an even worse game than Empire Earth 3 for the simple fact that the design shows promise, but it's utterly undermined by the horrible execution. -

Easily one of the worst Nintendo DS games released yet. It's extraordinarily hard to see any good in all this bad, and honestly I can't imagine any DS owner working their way through the progression because they're enjoying the clumsy, clunky, chunky, buggy, and most likely unfinished gameplay. -

Instead of a compilation of good times, Ultimate Board Game Collection is a horrifying pile of examples of why some developers should spend their time focusing on gameplay instead of showing off their environments. -

The controls are horribly touchy to the point that the only way to succeed in the game is to let the computer do all the work. And that, pretty much, goes against the very definition of a “game.” -

The graphics, gameplay and AI seem like they fell out of a time warp from too many years ago. With much better games that came out just a short while ago available at a comparable cost, there isn’t a good reason to purchase Iwo Jima. -

The game’s transition to Wii was especially rough in the gameplay department though, featuring a reeling function that only works at one solid speed, a noticeable half second lag between any action and the on-screen result, and generally unresponsive Wii motion control. -

Critic Score 30
This game is better than Wiffle Ball DS, but it's not much of a step up. Skyworks has embarrassed themselves less with this game than that atrocity. However this is a major league game and as such, 2K games should have put a more able development team behind it. -

None of the recent Godzilla games have been very good, but at least they were fun. Godzilla: Unleashed Double Smash cannot make this claim. It looks terrible, and reduces the King of the Monsters to a mush of no-texture polygons, then puts him in a tedious series of punching planes and kicking boats. -

Each fighter feels nearly identical, uses the same three super attacks, and there’s no real depth to the experience to add on top of that. -

Wii-makes walk a thin line already, but when a game can't iron out even the most blatant bugs (three second freezes occurring constantly in general play?), it's obvious that it's more about making a few quick stacks of cash than putting any real effort into a package. -

It's a shame that a classic could be given such poor treatment with meager graphics, bad sound, and inaccurate controls. The one new element, the online multiplayer, runs poorly and is no fun to play. All-in-all, one of the worst XBLA ports to date. -

Repetitive gameplay and limited replayability and difficulty settings are just the tip of the iceberg of a game that could've explored so much more of the characters from the movie, but just barely scratched the surface of the film. -

The developers have eliminated the personalities and blank-slate design decisions that make the show worth watching. Worse still, the designers have simply reproduced challenges from the show virtually ensuring that anyone who might have the least interest in this game won't be surprised by any part of it. -

The graphics, gameplay and AI seem like they fell out of a time warp from too many years ago. With much better games that came out just a short while ago available at a comparable cost, there isn't a good reason to purchase Iwo Jima. -

If I haven't made my point excruciatingly clear by now, let me be very blunt -- do not play this game. It's plodding and dull, and isn't even fun in an unintentional way. Just stay away.- Posted May 10, 2011

Falls victim to the same problems the Kinect's worst games suffered from a year ago. Imprecise controls ruin the uncomplicated games. It started out unfulfilling and didn't get much better. It's the kind of mindless thing I'd load up on my phone for five minute bursts. At home I'd rather be doing anything else.- Posted Nov 18, 2011

To use an easy analogy crutch, the Xotic aesthetic is what I imagine would come from Terry Gilliam's seed and Tim Burton's egg. The worlds have a distinct, twisted, colorful look. Each space is so littered with warped objects and fluorescent lights, though, that it becomes difficult to separate enemies, point items, and multiplier and damage pickups from the environment.- Posted Dec 6, 2011

Ninja Gaiden 3 is a gash on the face of the franchise and one of the worst games the action genre has yet suffered...It's a nightmare that's as easy as it is uninteresting, and it abandons what used to work for awful new ideas that don't work together. Under no circumstance should you ever waste your time on this self-indulgent and abysmal wreck.- Posted Mar 19, 2012

It has a lot to it, and I love the idea of taking a board game with so many elements and making it playable online. The problem is that I don't think it's a very good board game in the first place, and the folks who recreated it as a video game did it absolutely no favors with the terrible visuals and animations.- Posted Jul 3, 2012

It's a brawler that's too focused on amusing you with 80s flair, and it comes at the expense of worthwhile gameplay. Double Dragon: Neon doesn't bother to keep up with contemporaries such as Castle Crashers, Shank, and Scott Pilgrim – and you should let it fall behind.- Posted Sep 11, 2012

A giant waste of money. The game is boring as a singleplayer title and it doesn't hold up at all without the arcade wheel. Spend your $5 on a cheeseburger or couple slices of pizza instead - those ten minutes you'll take to eat will be far more enjoyable than any time you'll spend with this (and better for you, too). -

Don't be fooled; you will not be playing baseball in this game. Instead you'll be treated to six random mini-games, all of which have almost nothing to do with America's favorite pastime. You play as well-known major league players, but that's about as far as the MLB license is taken. -

To make matters much worse, there’s no online play – not like that should be a surprise – or online functionality of any kind in MLB 2K10. There’s no career mode, no homerun derby; there’s basically nothing to justify the money that you just plopped down if you currently have this in your DS. -
