It’s also simply incomplete. I found it completely obvious that this game was rushed out the door. Perhaps the PS3 version simply wasn’t as important as the others or perhaps it was added on at the last minute. Whatever the reason for its terrible quality, it’s not a game that should played by anyone of any age.

In Dirt 3 a few scratches tarnish an otherwise impeccable product. It's a superb racing experience and shouldn't be missed. While the agent isn't the best leader through the tour, and the garage is limited in its operation, the solid gameplay, variety of tracks and events, and overall fun factor make this a terrific game.

The First Templar is not good. Maybe with a bigger team, more time or a bigger budget this could have become something worthwhile, but it feels like an unpolished knock off. The sort of title you'd be disappointed if your parents picked up because it's not only buggy, but reminds you of all the other games that do what it does better.

An underdeveloped combat system, uneven story, heaps of bland quests and an endgame that feels rushed make the overall experience feel unfocused and unbalanced. The cast of characters may occasionally make you giggle, but aren't developed nearly enough to establish a meaningful bond to create the kind of moral turmoil Lionhead is clearly aiming for. For a game that tries so hard to get under your skin, Fable III rarely manages to do much more than scratch the surface.

The 3D really is a big addition in this case, as well, allowing you to see environments more clearly and complete jumps that would otherwise be much more difficult. And with the small number of 3DS games on the market right now, you could certainly do worse than LEGO Pirates.

Virtua Tennis 4 is a fun tennis game, after you dig through all the fluff: Mini-games and a needlessly complex career mode. If you already got your fill of Virtua Tennis 3 then there isn't a lot of new stuff in here, which is a shame, but it's still a very solid arcade tennis title. At least PS3 owners now get online play (in theory!), and Trophies this time around.

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.

An online shooter needs variety, depth, and addictiveness to succeed over the long term. Brink might find a niche with some hardcore fans, but it isn't for everyone. I'd love to see more of the parkour gameplay, but one mechanic isn't enough to carry an entire game. Brink has heart, but the overall package is lacking.

With all the technological bells and whistles driving this sequel, it ended up halting rather than evolving the series. Great animations set against clunky backgrounds, too much repetition in both the combat and music, and the lack of difficulty hold this JRPG back from being something truly special.

The creative magic trick conundrums are an interesting touch, and the challenges do get more elaborate further along in the game, but many of the puzzles just aren’t that enjoyable. Even so, Gray Matter’s winding story and masterful presentation captivate enough to hold everything together, particularly as the tale reaches its bizarre climax in the final chapters.
