Not bad if you're looking for exactly what Brotherhood brought us and still a beautiful living world, but a lack of news, strained story and repetitive missions lowers the experience.

Although it's a good fighting game the learning curve is steep and there are not enough news in Ultimate to make it worth your money.

Remake of a stealthy shooter that feels both dated and well preserved at the same time.

This Playstation Move game has got great sword control but suffers from some other issues with the control and camera. A good buy for kids.

Saved by the co-op mode, but this is a repetitive action RPG with quite a few bugs.

A game for children in every sense. It's too easy for experienced gamers, and suffers from imprecise camera and controls. Younger Tintin fans might enjoy it though.

Udraw Studio is a tablet controlled painting game, though it feels more like a coloring book than an actual game. Great for small children, but to simple for adults.

Sonic Generations lets you play as two different Sonics, one from the present and one from the past. The first levels are fantastic, but the level design soon gets dull. The time trials and the music is good though.

It's fun to dance, but overall this game feels a bit cheap and a bit too simple for its own good.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 is built on a solid foundation but there's nothing special about it. There are better tennis games out there.

Escape plan looks really good with its black and white art style. The touch controls are too imprecise though and that leads to too much trial and error.

The Vita's touch control is not optimal for throwing darts and Top Darts feels more like a smartphone app.

Poor driving mechanics and flawed level design makes this title a bad choice for those who are interested in good kart games. But the high amount of customization options makes it an excellent choice for creative people.

Too many factors feel randomized and the animations looks great but takes too long to finish up. Still, an easy-going game that might be the starting point of a nice franchise comeback.

It's hard to tell if this is mostly a game or a tech demo. As a game it doesn't have much to offer, but it showcases the Vitas controls in a great way.

Race your opponents, wrecking chaos with a multitude of weapons. Though it's still fun to play with friends, this game could have used a lot of more testing. Sadly, bugs, bad AI and serious camera issues lowers the score.

A remake that's actually worse then the originals in many ways. Only two of the eight original games are present and sound effects, original voice acting and the infamous fog has somehow gone missing.

Quantity before quality, with over 70 playable characters. Even though there's a massive amount of fan service, the game still feels as a step backwards compared with its predecessors.

Solve puzzles in a bizarre colorful environment, using different characters with different abilities. But the puzzles are too easy and too illogical for this game to be much more than mediocre.

Pull tricks on a skateboard while avoiding dangerous obstacles. It's all about chasing positions on the leader board.

Develop and cast magic spells in this turn based strategy game. It's not as complex as many other games in the same genre and sometimes it feels more like an ambitious mod than a full priced game.

Explore a fantasy world, create potions and battle monsters in this motion controlled adventure game. The Move controller actually works fine until it has to be used in battle.

A remake of a classic that never reaches its full potential, mostly due to messed up graphics and buggy physics. It's still quite fun, but not as great as it should have been.

It's fun to swing around the city but the rest of the game is rather bleak and feels like an attempt to copy Batman Arkham City.

A remake of a classic game, in which the controlls are so sluggish that only nostalgia can appreciate it.

Humoristic role playing in a post apocalyptic Sweden. An enthralling world, but sadly the game feels unfinished in several aspects.

Return to Arkham City, taking the role of both the caped crusader and his protege Robin. This DLC is a little bit to short, and the amount of hand holding from the developers is tremendous. Fun, but not really worth the price.

A streamlined and fun remake of a 1989 strategy game, which lets you fight the The American Civil War. Sadly, all forms of multiplayer modes are absent, a fact that drastically lowers the grade.

A point and click adventure with a nice art style and good voice acting. Though it's a bit too slow and many puzzles are illogical and far-fetched.

Sherlock Holmes himself becomes the suspect in a murder investigation. Some moments, the crime scene investigations for example, are really fun, but for the most part it's a pretty bland game with a low budget feeling.

Resident Evil takes another step towards the action genre, and by doing so loses even more of the atmosphere from the beginning of the series. It's an ok action game, but the lack of focus is the real problem. Probably not for fans of the first games.

As a horror dungeon crawler, the biggest problem is the lack of horror. Some RPG elements are really good, but the game is very monotonous.

An ok karting game, especially fun when playing with friends. But there is a low budget feel to the game, and it's a little low on content.

Eight years ago, this was a fantastic game. It's still entertaining and the weapons and companion AI are as good as in newer games. But several features haven't aged well.

Even with a few improvements such as additional weapons and more challenging enemies, the Wii U edition of Ninja Gaiden 3 still falls short. Questionable level design, a confusing storyline and strangely balanced difficulty levels are all examples of things that is wrong with this game. With that said, it's better than the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions and can be pretty fun at times.

Castlevania's debut on Nintendo 3DS does a lot of things different. With big changes to the combat system, 3D graphics and heavily reduced exploration, hardcore fans of the series might be disappointed. For someone who just wants a different action adventure it's not a bad game though.

This might not be a game from hell, but it's no blessing of an experience either. Although it does history justice, gameplay isn't as kindly treated. Bad AI, flawed controls and an underwhelming presentation makes the overall experience a poor one. Add one haphazard online mode and you'll be hard pressed to find reasons for purchase here.

If you take into account the amount of time and effort Silicon Knights has put into this title it boggles the mind when looking at the final product. Too Human actually manages to utterly fail in almost everything it attempts to do and constantly manages to show off new caveats in the formula. Repetitive and stupid enemies, uninspiring combat and a plot line that leaves much to be desired. The online co-op mode does help a bit, but it can't save what must be the most hyped failure in gaming history.

Even though Alone in the Dark shows great potential and a number of interesting ideas the overall experience is a poor one. Basically all parts of the game lack polish, and few of them are any good to begin with. The fact is that Alone in the Dark is a drag and playing through it is a pain. The intent for the game was good, the execution is poor.

Sony's online shooter SOCOM is back and helmed by a new developer. The main goal with Confrontation seems to have been to cater to the existing fan base, a goal they do meet in a sense. Unfortunately this also feels like a rushed project, riddled with numerous bugs and other signs of a premature launch. Even though fans of the series will enjoy this game it's hard to recommend this game amongst the plethora of competent shooters out there.

Tangram puzzles controlled by easy to learn touch mechanics. With several hundred puzzles you’ll find plenty to do here, but there is limited variation between the puzzles and solving them becomes tedious in the long run. Neves will however be a worthwhile package when the price tag goes down a notch.

Even though this game is built on top of a great mythology, the one about Pandora's Box unleashing chaos onto the world when opened, developer Spark never manage to make the actual game interesting in any way. The game structure is linear, the presentation is bleak at best and the gameplay is rather poor. This sums up to one mediocre experience.

Due to a repetitive gameplay and uninspiring content the portable DS-version of Spore fails to make itself interesting. A greater selection of mini-games and ways to play the game would have helped this in essence mediocre experience.

Speed, pacing and quick reaction skills is what we've always associated with Sonic. And when you go for your first run in Sonic Unleashed everything feels just right. But then night comes and all of a sudden Sonic turns into a werewolf. And here's where ugly turns to bad. Sonic Unleashed becomes an uninspired action title, completely bereft of any finesse. When you're actually out running on the fast levels the game is pure fun, but the dull button mashing moments as a werewolf is enough to destroy the overall experience.

Causing mayhem in the city of New York is the only thing that's mildly entertaining in this game, with other content such as mini games and missions being utterly mediocre. Problems with framerates, graphical glitches and a far to short draw distance only cements the impression of this game being a perfect example of how quality and built-to-order games don't go hand in hand.

Tennis games usually turn out to be fantastic gaming experiences, well adapted to the entertainment form of gaming. Surprisingly Namco managed to utterly fail when moving Smash Court Tennis 3 from PSP to Xbox 360. The game still almost looks and sounds like a PSP game and the pacing is just horrible. The career mode where you can devlop you player is a nice touch although it doesn't come close to making this worth a buy.

Solving crossword puzzles work just as fine on the DS as it does on the kitchen table. It's a shame that the developers haven't utilized the digital platform the game is on though, just throwing crossword after crossword at the player with no variation or extra material is potential lost. It works, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table.

With Monopoly for the Xbox 360 you're actually getting a really fun and well thought through experience worthy of the table top version. This very fact makes the absence of an online mode incomprehensible since this is an experience not meant to have by yourself. Because of this omission the table top version still rules supreme.

Conquest is yet another movie tie in game that utilizes a famous brand to push a rather mediocre experience. This is a hack and slash action title where the campaign feels like a multiplayer game with a story shoehorned on top of the experience. The presentation is bland and the challenge is uneven. In multiplayer the game does gain a bit ground, but the fun doesn't last for long. It seems that we'll just have to wait a bit longer for a great game based on the LoTR-franchise (not counting LoTR Online that is).

The basic premises of Dark Void are promising enough. Combining ground based combat in third person with aerial jetpack combat could very well be the foundation of an entertaining action title. Unfortunately, Dark Void is a prime example of great ideas executed poorly. A far too drawn out introduction, terribly bleak storytelling and uninspiring combat all contribute to the wasted potential that is Dark Void.

The basic mechanic of riding a snowboard down a mountain covered in white bliss is pure fun and beautifully framed in Shaun White's Snowboarding. Unfortunately, the actual meat of the game is severely flawed which cripples the overall experience. Competitions and other game modes are riddled with issues, bad AI and poorly designed challenges being two of them. Shaun White's Snowboarding does the actual gameplay right, and just about everything else wrong.

Last King of Africa is a remake of the adventure game with the same name released for the PC in 2006. Given that Benoît Sokal, responsible for classic adventure games such as Syberia and Syberia 2, is a member of the development team this game is a big disappointment. It's a decent adventure game but it lacks that certain something that makes the experience memorable.

This latest entry in the Buzz-series brings us fun quiz-based entertainment, wrapped in a simple and intuitive interface. A nice feature is the ability to enjoy a game of multiplayer even if you only have one PSP to pass around. The one major flaw here is the content, or lack of it to be specific. You'll easily blast through all of the questions in one evening, drastically reducing the lasting appeal of this title.

Even though it might sound odd that the central premise of the plot is a big sword it actually works in this game. The main issues we have with Sonic and the Black Knight is the controls and overall gameplay. It's just not that fun to flail about with your arms in the long run. This is sadly yet another mediocre Sonic game without redeeming features.

Had it been released about a decade ago, Cursed Mountain might have conjured up more than a slight shrug. The few occasions where the atmosphere actually started to draw us in were promptly ruined by god awful Wii controls and terribly realized enemies. Add to this horribly poor pacing and what you end up with is a decent at best horror game that's hard to recommend to anyone.

This unexpected sequel still maintains the cool feeling of being a ninja, but all too simplistic levels and monotonous gameplay hampers the experience. The presentation can often be a bit busy, making it difficult for the player in hectic situations. There is basically no replay value at all so our advice is to wait until this title ends up in the bargain bin.

In striving to be unique, this title actually manages to loose itself in the attempt. The puzzles are repetitive and the sense of progress is often lost in all the "unique" features of the game. There are better games in the genre available on the DS.

A shooting game for the Wii aimed at a younger audience and based on the joy of toy guns does sound like a match made in heaven. Unfortunately this is a prime example of an interesting concept hampered by poor execution. Initially you've got access to a number of mini games, some good, some bad. When you master these you unlock harder versions of these mini games. The gun that ships with the game works well, but the overall experience is too bland an uninspiring to be recommended to anyone.

Interpol is a game that few will return to after the first session. The game's main strength is that it's easy to understand, but when the overall experience is monotonous, short lived and lacking in the challenge department there isn't much to motivate a buy here.

This is a somewhat odd product. There are really excellent songs to be found here, but everything else in the package feels empty and lackluster. Since it's possible to buy a number of AC/DC albums in the Rock Band store already we're having trouble identifying the purpose of this game. Because of this we can only recommend this title for AC/DC fans, if at all.

This is a typical on rails shooter with zombies. When you first boot up the game you're treated to a horribly disappointing first impression, but the game grows with each hour thank to weapons and level becoming a bit more interesting later on. Unfortunately the game is plagued by a healthy number of technical issues, flaws that dampen the experience severely in the long run. House of the Dead: Overkill doesn't do anything new at all, but mowing down zombies is always a hoot.

Funtown Mahjong is a simplified version of the more complex Chinese board game mahjong. The main issue plaguing this title is the fact that it's not simple enough to attract the uninitiated while not being challenging enough for the veterans. The game could very well have utilized the possibilities that a console game offers to the gameplay mechanics, but since this isn't the case you'll be better of taking a closer look at the real deal.

Four years have passed since Mario Power Tennis was released for the Nintendo Gamecube, but for this released nothing new is to be found except for the addition of a motion sensing control scheme. Mario Power Tennis was a somewhat mediocre game when it was released and that still holds true to this day.

Stupid story, repetitive gameplay and sub par controls. Some of the action is fun, but Dead to Rights should have been buried long ago.

Terminator Salvation is a typical run-of-the-mill action game with no unique or innovative qualities. The game is built on a reasonably solid foundation but the lack of any gameplay innovations makes it a very repetitive game, and when you only get circa five hours of playtime there are few reasons for you to purchase this game. The only redeeming quality in this package is the co-op mode, making the game at least worth renting with a friend. Charging full price for this game is nothing short of a ripoff.

A collection of party and mini games that works when you have friends over but isn’t a lot of fun on your own.

The massive world and tons of secrets to be found in it are two of the few strengths in what is otherwise a really bad racing game. Poor AI, horrid driving mechanics, shoddy physics and tacky design. Put simply, avoid at all costs.

The game contains a bunch of different mini games but they are too simple minded to work for anyone above the age of ten.

2K Sports and Visual Concepts seem to be stuck in the last generation of hockey games and the game doesn’t stand a chance against EA Sports NHL10. It seems that Visual Concept know that they can’t compete with EA Sports and developing something halfheartedly instead of building something new and exciting from the ground.

The same formula as in the former parts in the serie. Chop, boil and rinse in different mini games to make a meal. Gets too repetitive before the dinner is ready.

The foundation works but there isn’t much more than that. A game for those already interested in the series.

Weird and mediocre truck simulation fails at the most important thing – there's no fun here. Maybe if you want to practice truck driving in California you appreciate the detailed road map. [Issue#191]

This is a typical movie tie in game, a line we've written so many times by now it's getting old fast. Repetitive gameplay mechanics, unimpressive presentation, lack of interesting details and overall polish are just some of the flaws to be found. It's an average game in every way and is therefore rewarded with a grade to match.

If you've ever wanted to play as a war machine, in Front Mission Evolved you'll have your chance. It's very entertaining in the beginning to walk around and blow up enemies. But after a while the lousy programmed AI, bad level design and all the bugs comes to play. Only for robot lovers with a lot of patience.

Blood Stone is, hands down, a bad game. It's a game we've all seen before, only better than this. It's too simple and doesn't add anything new to the genre, and the multiplayer's a mess. It isn't engaging at all despite good voice acting from Daniel Craig.

Kinect Sports show us the possibilites of Kinect, but also the flaws of it. You can have some fun with the game if you are a group of people playing, but the game lacks in the necessary precision to make it a good game.

Despite some good physics and an interesting online experience, Create isn't very interesting at all. The controls doesn't really work properly, the menus are too complicated and the environments of the game feels downright boring.

A poorly made game with horrible graphics, and most of the time it just feels like a Lego Star Wars Rip-off. But with a friend it can be quite entertaining, with the crazy story and all. That said, it's not engaging at all when you play by yourself.

In TV Superstars you are the star - or trying to anyway. By scanning your face and solve a series of mini games, you will try to become a celebrity. The game's gimmick works very well, but the mini-games leave a lot to be desired.

Really fun idea to be a part of movies, but the technique just isn't working.

Too short with boring game modes. This should have stayed a demo.

Extremely repetitive hack 'n' slash with nothing of the charm in Spore.

For everything that Red River succeeds in, it completely fails at something else. This stupid AI and this many bugs are just not ok.

A top down shooter that reminds us of Rez or Lumines but lacks a lot in content, has irritating 3D effects and is a bit too difficult.

This real time strategy game has stupid units, bad camera and clumsy combat.

Spider-man Edge of Time gives you control over two different spider-men, Peter Parker and Miguel O'Hara from Spider-Man 2099. Though the games is not really broken in any aspect, it is extremely uninspired, tedious and bland. Fans of games based on comic books should definitely look elsewhere.

Off the Record lets you return to Fortune City, but this time as Frank West from the first game. Sadly, Off the Record keeps much of the bad game design from its predecessors as horrible loading time, time limits and specific and sparse places for combining weapons. There are just too many game mechanics in this game that should not be allowed in a game made in 2011.

Boom Street plays like a digital version of Monopoly, starring Mario and his friends as well as Dragon Quest characters. But there is not much interaction in the game and you'd expect more from a full price retail game.

Puddle features a nice and nerdy scientific setting, but horrible level design and long loading times makes it frustrating to play.

As a re-release of a classic arcade game, The Simpsons: Arcade Game is not really bad but there's an obvious lack of content and the game feels rather shallow.

A team based Resident Evil that works alright when playing with other humans. But as a whole it's just not a very good game.

An old series switches focus, and now it's all about killing zombies, which is quite fun. Unfortunately a lot of other elements, including camera, control and environmental layout, are far below average.

Promising attempt to create a fantasy cooperative RPG action fails because of frustrating game design, technical bugs and lousy visuals. [May 2012]

Charming, laid back and a bit addictive. But the setup and the game mechanics are beginning to feel old. And there's just too much talking.

A somewhat simplified version of earlier games of the series. There are some fun mini games and unlockables, but overall there's distinct a lack of content. And where is is the challenge?

There are some fine moments, especially in the beginning of the game, but most of the time it's just a poor imitation of Gears of War.

A Ferrari-simulator with a lot of unlockable cars and solid racing mechanics. Unfortunately the single player campaign is staggeringly hard. Only recommendable for hardcore Ferrari fans, and especially not for the impatient.

Return to Albion in the most ambitious Kinect game to date. The environment, the design and the voice acting is really good. But once again, Kinect as a controller stands in the way of fun, by being way too imprecise.

A charming platformer with lots of references to the Disney universe. Gameplay-wise it's badly flawed though. The camera, controls and AI are below acceptable levels.

A decent action game that entertains for the moment. There are mechanics that encourage cooperation, but other than that there's not much to praise as characters, level design and AI (amongst others) are sub par.

A platformer that doesn't do anything new and never excels in any way. In the end it's ok, but not much more than that.

A collection of unforgettable classics in videogame history. Unfortunately the number of games offered is meager and the new 3D games don’t add much fun to this package. Nine old classic games aren’t enough to compensate for the otherwise lackluster content.

NBA Ballers: Chosen one is a game all about super dunks, slick moves and fancy dribbles. Unfortunately Midway has missed out on one essential ingredient necessary in all great sports games: getting the player interested. With bleak graphics and shoddy controls, not even playing with a friend can help this game from being utterly mediocre.

As a production this is definitely a slick piece of work. The graphics look good and there is a generally good sense of humour and atmosphere in the game. Unfortunately, the actual boxing mechanics of the game doesn't work well at all. It's not broken per se, it's just simple to the point where you know the game inside and out after only a couple of matches.

At first, this might strike you as a decent movie tie-in. Take a gander under the hood and you'll find abhorrent camera angles, an incomprehensible plot and catastrophic AI. This is a poor effort of a game and you'll do better to just watch the movie instead.

Yet another party game for the Wii. You'll get to take part in sports like frisbee golf, cricket, volleyball, soccer and American football. Precious few of these are any fun, and the overall experience lacks the polish you expect from a retail game. Steer clear of this one folks.

Although this title is playable it won't leave a lasting impression. The plot is incomprehensible and the presentation looks dated. The experience being a short one is actually a good thing in this title which you'd do well to avoid.

Once and for all the iconic figures in the Mortal Kombat franchise squares off against the heroes and villains of the DC Comics. It's a novel idea and done right it could have been an interesting reboot of the Mortal Kombat franchise, but alas it isn't so. The violence has been toned down and gameplay wise it's just not that much fun or varied. It can entertain for a short while, but at the end of the day the only redeeming thing about this game is the ability to play as (or beat the crap out of) your favourite character in either Mortal Kombat or DC Comics.

Samba de Amigo was originally released for the Dreamcast and has now made it's way to the Wii. With a maracas in each hand your challenge is to shake to the beat as best you can. The motion sensing abilities of the Wiimote does unfortunately present itself as an obstacle to the experience. On higher difficulty levels it makes the game almost unplayable. As is, this a decent party game at best.

This is a game that doesn't take itself or the videogame industry seriously. The main focus here is humour and taking cracks at stereotype content in different gaming genres. There are some laughs to be had here, but since the game is utterly mediocre in every category it tries to make fun of the overall feeling is that the parody aspect is just a way to mask a poorly executed game.

Messing around and being violent in a bear infested game world is fun, for a while. The same thing goes for the game's humor. When the initial wave of entertainment is over you're left with bad gameplay mechanics and repetitive content. Despite an initially entertaining tone this content is not worth the asking price.

A crazy arcade game that's just too limited to be worth your money.

Quantum Theory is no Gears of War, although it may look like it on the surface. The game simply lacks the polish. You could call it repetitive, bland and uninspiring, but that's not enough. It is playable, but it's just not any fun.

Bakugan: Defenders of the Core features some decent fights but the overall experience makes it a real bore to play. The graphics are plain, the sound isn't properly mixed and the story is being laid out in front of you in a very confusing way. This makes this game a fans/children only. It can still be pretty entertaining to play versus a friend though.

Kinect Adventures could have been that perfect part game for Kinect, instead, we get a game with only five game modes which doesn't work properly. The physical space required to play this game can also be quite a problem, and if you're two people playing you might have to rearrange the room a lot. There isn't much to do and after a while, it doesn't feel like there's even a purpose playing the game.

The game is bundled with a Wii remote plus controller so you might think this platformer is a delight to play. But the main problem with the game is in fact: the controls. It's very inaccurate and it'll usually make you frustrated. The game has some fun moments, and it looks pretty good, but it's short and some levels are really dull.

Kinect Joy Ride could have been a great partygame. Unfortunately, the extremely broken controls, boring racetracks, and long loading times makes this game a bore. Even if the promising control scheme would have worked like it should, the game would have been far too simple to really care about.

An ok racing game hides under too many big problems.

A really sad collection that's just trying to milk money out of the Dreamcast brand and nostalgia.

Easy to understand and addictive in small portions, but extremely short on content and no multiplayer.

The sequel to the best selling Kinect game, Kinect Sports, features six new sports to play. Sadly, the game seems unfinished with unimaginative game play, poor animations and lousy controls.

Extremely few exercises and the controls are too sensitive. It feels like Coldwood has misunderstood the concept of workout games. Stay away from this one.

Filled to the brim with minigames and old classics, but sadly most of them just aren't very fun.

Smash meteors, put out fires and destroy robots. The controls are not working, the graphics looks pretty bad and it's just not very fun to play. Still, it's probably one of the best Superman games.

Wreck castles using your body as the controller. The physics are limited though and (as so often with Kinect) the controls doesn't work very well either.

Deadlight begins well with a lot of atmosphere. But soon the illusion is shattered by clunky controls and a frustrating amount of trial and error.

A puzzle game in a noir setting that sadly turns out pretty bad. The characters are flat and without personality, there's a lot of trial and error puzzles and the story is nowhere near interesting.

Manage a theme park and build grand roller coasters. A poorly designed user interface, old-fashioned graphics and the lack of certain mechanics makes sure that this game never lives up to its PC predecessors.

Battle for the Pacific is a perfect example of how you can produce a modern first person shooter with absolutely no level of innovation at all. Graphics, sound and controls all do their job without impressing but the overall gameplay is utterly mediocre and not worth your time or your money.

Another blockbuster movie, another movie tie-in game. Time and time again we’re treated to hastily produced games designed to cash in on a movie that’s attracted attention in the mainstream media. Iron Man is no exception to this rule, and even though there are some qualities to be found here the overall experience is a lackluster one.

The sixth movie in the Harry Potter series was a great and entertaining experience - something that can't be said about it's videogame adaptation. The core premise of the game is built around three monotonous minigames that are repeated throughout the game. The one saving grace is that the adventuring and exploring are somewhat interesting and the musical score is great.

Take one platforming game released for the previous generation of consoles, add one pinch of Wii controls and mix it all together. What do you get? An old titles with a lackluster control scheme that hasn't evolved one bit. This is a sad example of a developer more interested in quick money than actually creating a good game. Sloppy productions like this simply doesn't deserve your hard earned money.

This isn't necessarily a bad game per se, but it's simply uninspiring. The content is meager and what's in here doesn't really do it's job particularly well. There are a lot of minigame collections on the Wii that offer you a whole lot better content than this.

Summer Athletics offers us a number of track and field challenges that in almost every case fails to be interesting, or work especially well for that matter. A lackluster career mode and the absence of online play via Live is just another nail in the coffin for this game. If this game had been released in conjunction with the summer Olympics of 2004 it might have come off as a decent experience. Today it's just another poor attempt of recreating track and field in a videogame.

This is a collection of mini games where EA has focused on ten celebrities instead of the actual gameplay, and it shows. A total of twelve mini games grow dreary after only one run and not even a gathering of friends is enough make this game passable. Back to the drawing board EA.

A virtual dodgeball tournament with pirates, ninjas, zombies and robots is just as dull as it sounds. Although the production values are high for an Live Arcade title the actual gameplay is several leagues from being fun in any way. The slow and monotonous gameplay even manages to turn the multiplayer mode into a dull experience. Spend your Microsoft points on something else.

My Sims should never have made the transition into a party game. The main flaw here is that it, quite simply, is no fun at all. Most of the minigames are utterly dull and since the control scheme is basically broken there's no chance that the younger audience will be able to master the game. There are a whole slew of party games for the Wii that offers a better experience than this.

At a glance this could actually be a really fun game. Everything from graphics to characters look really great and entertaining. The problems turn up in numbers as soon as you try to actually control the game. The controls are utterly broken, making it impossible to actually do anything intentionally with the controls. Flailing about randomly is no recipe for a fun experience.

Griptonite doesn't seem to understand Maurice Sendak's wonderful book or Spike Jonze's amazing movie. This is just a typical movie license game aimed at kids with parents who doesn't know better.

Clash of the Titans is a repetitive, ugly, bland, boring and poorly narrated hack n' slash game and pales in comparison to God of War 3 and Dante's Inferno. Sure, video games generally make poor movies, but it may well be possible that blockbusters make even worse video games.

An easy to understand but extremely shallow mini game collection for kids.

This might sell because it's Harry Potter, but the game itself is horrible. The developers tried to make a game more focused on action than before, which probably is the only good thing about this game. It's ugly, full of annoying bugs, has simple and stupid gameplay and the Kinect-support is a joke. Avoid this one.

This game had potential. The idea was great for Kinect, but something went horribly wrong along the way. Kinect is supposed to register your every kick and punch, but it only catches about the half of them. This will make you frustrated, and the lack of content and decent gameplay-functions makes you even more angry. Borders on unplayable.

Liquid Entertainment has got to have a good explanation to this extremely dull and boring game. A lot of dark clouds, but no sparks.

A horrible action game with lousy control and graphics. A sad end to a series of games that EA has treated embarrasingly bad.

Old school shooter in the bad sense of the term. Feels old, bad AI, lots of bugs and a control that needed polish.

Avoid this game. The story is laughable, the characters are stereotypical and the gameplay is repetitive and dull.

Even after more than seven years in development, Aliens: Colonial Marines results in a cavalcade of shattered dreams and lost potential. Almost every element is either broken, boring or badly designed and the once fearsome Xenomorphs are now reduced to mindless cannon fodder. To put it simply; it's a terrible game.

This is an embarrassing and crude production with few to no redeeming traits at all. Dated graphics, poor control scheme and lacking gameplay are just some of the reasons as to why this title shouldn't end up in any self respecting gamers library. This is a poor excuse to show of scantily clad women and nothing more.

Movie licensed game have a long and not so rosy reputation of being less that stellar, at best, with a fem major exceptions. The videogame adaptation of the movie G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra is no such exception. The visuals looks like a poor remnant from the previous generations of consoles, the controls are shoddy, the camera is appalling and the list goes on. Even the cooperative mode manages to be a total dud. Avoid at all costs.

Cumbersome stealth mechanics? Check. Utterly simplistic and equally frustrating combat? Check. All too frequent and annoying Quick Time Events? Check. Expected mediocre presentation? Check. This is another nail in the coffin of movie tie in videogames. Not even cameos by T-bag and John Abruzzi are of any help. Avoid at all cost people.
