Critic Score 40
SOCOM suddenly feels very old, with a shabby, low content sequel that can't compete with modern shooters. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A shadow of one of the former masters of survival horror, that is better equipped to bore than scare. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Even committed fans are likely to be disappointed by this lazy and largely unnecessary rehash. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A brave mix of RPG, action game and spy thriller, brought down by too many design and technical faults. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
It looks and sounds the part but this anime tie-in should've worried about more than just presentation. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Vin Diesel proves not to have the magic touch after all, with this technically inept Driver wannabe. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
To add to its problems the game is also surprisingly ugly, often looking much more like an original Xbox game. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
There's barely enough time to rail at the missed opportunities in one of the least substantial games ever. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The Drudge are a sadly appropriate named for the enemy in this artless grind of a first person shooter. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A game insensitive to both the subject matter and the need to offer any real variety or intrigue. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The free web toy gains little from its transformation into a retail game - or in its move to the DS. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Turning Castlevania into a one-on-one fighter is a dumb idea but at least this tries to be different. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
It certainly looks and sounds the part but this downloadable game is just as shallow as most retail tie-ins. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Disappointing sequel that manages to undo the relative successes of the original and dishonour the film. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
It's all a shame because the central idea of a constantly transforming dungeon is a good one. The actual game that's been constructed around it though is nowhere near good enough. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
One of the best looking DS games ever made, but the gameplay just dosen't live up to the visuals. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Mama's sideline in gardening proves to be just as shallow and repetitive as her cookery courses. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
It doesn't do anything new, it doesn't fix any old problems and it's not very substantial. There are a lot of better ways to spend £6.80 on Xbox Live. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
3D graphics may be the future, but this dull beat 'em-up is unlikely to convince you of the fact. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A step in the right direction, but still nowhere close to being the ideal Transformers game. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
For a Dynasty Warriors game this is fairly innovative, but only if you have three friends to play with. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The switch to turn-based strategy works perfectly but only fans will tolerate the endless cut scenes. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Flawed racer which finds little of interest in its massive open world - least of all the race cars. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Another classy retro conversion but Rare's platforming sequel feels older than it looks. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
If Crystal Skull made the original films look better, then this does the same for Fate Of Atlantis. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A pale shadow of the original turning a perfectly constructed platformer into a bland retread. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Hopefully the future of Fable won't be any more downloads, as this is another waste of both time and money. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The trailers may make the film look like a live action Halo but the game plays nowhere near as well. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
An interactive movie where the gameplay is as basic and two-dimensional as the story and acting. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The final slice of downloadable content is just as shallow in its gameplay and ambition as before. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Virtual On on a budget, with a fully functioning online mode but very little depth or longevity. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The last of the Fallout 3 expansions is also one of the worst in this bafflingly dull abduction yarn. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Even if you enjoy Roguelikes this must be the worst special edition ever, with almost no new features. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The worst Guitar Hero spin-off yet with a half-hearted tribute to a band who barely deserved one anyway. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
For those that don't remember the original this retro remake will likely prove a little too old school. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Some thought has clearly gone into making this an entertaining game, but sadly not enough money or time. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The limitations of the PSP and a wrong-headed emphasis on combat ruin an otherwise promising spin-off. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The movie quiz series goes multiformat and low budget with less features and generally less fun. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A real misstep for Level-5, with tedious battles and an equally uninteresting plot and characters. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Yet another slice of downloadable content that's well below the quality of its parent game. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
If you're tired of music games this peculiar platformer is no reason to keep your plastic axe either. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
One of the Wii's best-looking games, but this role-playing hybrid is all atmosphere and no substance. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The real survival horror here is enduring the repetitive scares and gameplay all the way to the end. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Despite a few interesting ideas this never manages to relive the glory days of top-down racing. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Bizarre sliding block puzzler that despite numerous issues is oddly more tolerable than it should be. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Only the smallest of improvements on the original game and still a shameful waste of the license. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Compare The Pikmins.com will be overloaded once people tire of this well-meaning but dull wildlife sim. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
The corpse of Symphony Of The Night proves far too putrefied to work as a co-operative platformer. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A class BioWare download: short, pointless and missing everything that made the original interesting. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Another big budget game more obsessed with impersonating its favourite films than creating any genuinely new script or gameplay ideas. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Red Dead Redemption is a great single player game, but this only emphasises the mediocre multiplayer. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
By no means the worst mini-game collection there's ever been but in terms of genuine party entertainment it's only a few steps above the Tory Conference. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
You don't need to be a Front Mission fan to get upset about the wasted potential in this lifeless, one-dimensional shooter. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Unquestionably the best Dynasty Warriors style game so far, but at its core it's still just as shallow and repetitive as any of Koei's games.- Posted Oct 20, 2010
