As long as they can mash buttons and watch a big colorful alien beat up a bunch of bland, repetitive enemies in the universe of some licensed property, they’ll be happy. Do they want thought provoking gameplay or a well-told story? Nope. “Ben 10” represents the industry’s unfortunate tendency toward quick cash-ins with little effort or polish because of the lucrative market of “casual gamers” who don’t care about that sort of thing. The game is supposedly extremely faithful to the show, but the cutscenes are slow, ugly and boring, even for a children’s cartoon. The voice acting is passable, but the music can’t decide whether it wants to be overly repetitive or so bad as to make you mute the TV. The game is pretty ugly, running at a smooth 60 frames per second due to having almost no geometrical detail on anything to go along with the soupy textures. Nevertheless, “Ben 10” is an assault on the senses. While they don’t add much variety to the combat, occasionally puzzles will require you to switch to the nimble alien to climb stuff or the powerful alien to break stuff - but that’s about as complex as the game gets. “Ben 10’s” one redeeming feature is that you actually get to play all 10 aliens from the show and switch between them at will. The game is endlessly repetitive and consists of combat with uninspired platforming and puzzles to create one mind-numbingly boring experience. It would be difficult for even a younger child to have fun with it. Never has a game been quite so lousy with so few redeeming qualities. But they all pale in comparison to one monumental game, the absolute cream of the crop, the only game anyone was willing to send us a press copy for: “Ben 10: Alien Force Vilgax Attacks.”

“DJ Hero,” “Tekken 6,” “Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City” and “Forza Motorsport 3” are only a few of this season’s titles pretty much guaranteed to be top quality.

One only needs to look at the releases in the past few weeks alone.

Just when you think one holiday season of video games can’t possibly be any better than the last, the industry seems to prove that statement false.
