One thing to be said in Jumper's favor, it does provide a quick boost to your Xbox Live Gamerscore... Given that the game still sells for a full $60 price tag, though, you probably want to go and get those points somewhere else. Plenty of other bad movie-licensed games will offer just as impressive a dose of score inflation, and at a much more modest dent in your budget.
Pros
• Griffin's accent
• Decent-looking cutscenes
Cons
• Incredibly repetitive
• Huge gaps in logic
• Dull graphics
• Unsteady framerate

Jumper: Griffin’s Story had me walking on air. I don’t mean that in a heavenly bliss sort of way, but in a more literal sense. There was an entire level in that physically had me running twenty feet above the ground. There was a particular floor, who’s texture would disappear from a certain field of view, which made it seem as if you were standing on nothing. This was only for one level, but considering the game only took me 2 1/2 hours to get through, it was a decent chunk of the campaign. This little bug is a great representation for the overall experience you’ll have with Jumper: Griffin’s Story.
WC writes: Video games based on movies on the whole are, let’s face it, a load of old tosh most of the time, and it’s not hard to see why; developers blow all their cash obtaining the license to adapt a popular film, and have little left to actually pump into, you know, hiring programmers with a fully functioning cerebrum. Hence the reputation video game adaptations of movies have earned as generally being ropey, with only a few notable exceptions, such as Goldeneye on the N64. Here are ten particularly offensive instances of a studio throwing quality to the wind in favour of a quick buck.
As bad as it was I found myself actually enjoying Friday the 13th when I was a kid. Even with a purple Jason
Battleship: the board game : the movie :the game : the book.
Lets face it, we need more books based on video games, as much as battleship needs a longer title.
Because we care about our readers, Cheat Code Central has put together a list of games that you should probably avoid. If you pick up one of these titles anyway, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Oh. Yet another list.
Oh... It's another top 10 worst games list...
Heh, modern journalism.
These aren't the worse games around. And as rentals go, Terminator wasn't an atrocious game.
None of these games are even "worthy" of such a list . The underlying issue with such sh*tty list , is that they'll always only refer to somewhat known or popular obvious titles
My problem with DOAX2 was that it put more emphasis on building and maintaining relationships than the sporting activities it supposed to be about. I man, what the .... does relationships have to do with sports especially the individual sports? I'm trying to play sports.
Bomberman: Act Zero? It really broke my heart to see what this once-respected IP devolved into. It made me despise the XBox 360 and the PS3 and its owners and developers for their rabid demand for "realistic" characters/graphics.
